Thats because it is no longer a switched jack
So no matter what I do it will do this?
thanks, but I still don't understand why the sound is coming out of the speakers too when i plug in headphones
Keep in mind that one of the 4 wires is for the existing jack is for the switch that turns off the speaker when headphones are inserted. You probably screwed up which wires goes where.
The prosound mod on the original jack didn't produce any sound out of the speaker when the headphones were in, it was just quiet. The external prosound jack had the problem with producing sound out of both speakers. And I'm almost positive I wired correctly could static cause problems like these?

Thanks,
zaxxonwhen you say the sound is coming out really quietly, do you mean when listening through headphones? if so, then of course it will be much quieter because you are bypassing the headphone preamp.
But isn't prosound supposed to make it louder and clearer?
Also is this to external or usual sound out jack.
I did external at first but then after failing that many many times I tried this:

This was using the existing jack and turning it into a prosound one
Any chance you could show the work on the Gameboy? Did you solder it pre or post-pot? And I know it sounds redundant but, did you put fresh batteries in?
Sorry but what does pre or post pot mean? Also yes the batteries were fresh. I can't show the work how ever because all my stuff has been packed up for the moment but I soldered all the points according to this guide:
