I have both the regular headphone jack, and an additional external prosound mod. I use the prosound output for live performances/recording and the actual headphone jack for... well, headphones. Haha.


But yeah, if it's an internal mod, it will be a tad bit quieter. Once you connect it to a pre-amp, or a mixer... DAT BASS.

katsumbhong's advice is spot-on.  the prosound mod is (simplified) a by-pass of the internal headphone amplifier. 

this is the best resource I know of which explores the variations between stock consoles, and prosound modified ones: http://www.herbertweixelbaum.com/comparison.htm

I did an internal mod that is post volume potentiometer. It uses the standard headphone socket by removing 2 resistors to disconnect normal sound.

Can anyone comment if there gameboy color pro mod is quieter?

If I connected the audio lines before the volume potentiometer would this increase volume?
