Add the 100K potentiometer in series with the red wire attached to the headset such that the middle pin is attached to the red wire and either of the outside pins is connected to the audio tab on the music jack.

In case you were wondering, the audio tab is the tab that is not physically connected to the large metal connector in the back of the jack. That is the ground pin.

Hi again. If you add the capacitor I was talking about in my last post, you may have to extend your black ground wire from the 1/8" jack to the other terminal of the potentiometer. Basicaly what heppens is the audio coming in from your player is run accross the potentiometer and then the position of the wiper (center terminal) determines how much audio passes to the headset.
