hearing sound from an external hi fi

Hello!

I've recently been attempting to play sound from my max through an external hi fi (and also a mixer)

I brought an audio jack that i put into the headphone/speaker slot in the back of the mac - I then put the 2 outputs jacks into the back of a hi fi

Music Does play, BUT its really bad sound quality. Particularly when music stops - there's hissing/crackling and also clicking!!

i looked in the help file and it says i need to select "headphones" in the sound preferences window - but it's not giving me the option (the only option is built in audio - internal speakers)

also as a side note - when speakers are plugged in the sound is fine

and also when i plug the outputs into a djj mixer - theres no music at all just a clicking!

any help would be immenseley appreciated!

thanks

sam
