Audio output port project

[ahmed kalbani]

Hi,
I am trying to drive a 1V-3V motor which ill be connected to an audio output port (where you insert headphones or a speaker) and I am wondering, can I just put it there like that, or do I actually need to build some sort of amplifier circuit to run it properly. I am doubting current levels would be insufficient.

I am very new to the world of electronics. So be easy on me.

Thank you in advance,
Ahmed

welcome to the forums

you better explain .. Why would you want to run a motor from an audio output ?

I want to drive a motor based on an audio file. I don't want to use a microphone.

you are going to have to expand on that brief and unclear explanation

be specific about what you are actually trying to achieve

cheers

I need the motor to change speeds according to the pace/bass of the audio file. I don't know what else to say...

How about:
What will the motor be driving?
What is the overall aim of the project?

Answer in DETAIL please.
