i have made the circuit and connected it to PIC and i had the correct output!
Its output voltge is +4.5V which rises to +8V which is too high to feed into a PIC. The +8V might damage the input of the PIC. You should attenuate it with 2 resistors.

i'm thinking to have an extra feature on my project by adding a headset to listen to the heart sounds!
the one i constructed feeds the signal values into PIC but here i want to add a headset circuit so that i can listen to and watch the signals.

can i do that without affecting the current constructed circuit's values?
if yes, how can i do it?
Simply connect a 330nF coupling capacitor feeding a 100k volume control to the output. The volume control feeds an LM386 little power amp IC circuit that drives the headphones.

sorry!
i used the circuit with OPA2134 and 5V supply and i tested it with PIC, it works..

my voltage output level is at about 2.4v that is fed into PIC! i want to use the headphones without affecting this voltage level!
in this case, can i just follow ur way?

thank you

Please don't post a schematic that has a different opamp and a different supply voltage.

The output of the opamp does not change when it has a light load from one 100k volume control added. It also won't change when it has one hundred 100k volume controls added.
