Splitting a 5.1 Audio system between 2 computers????

Hi there

Was wondering if anyone knew a way to get my logitech 5.1 speakers to play audio from two computers which exist in the same room?

I want to get a separate PC for watching movies / TV Shows but want to use the same speakers that i use on my normal computer.
I was thinking about just using a female to male 3.5mm splitter, but i havn't seen them anywhere cas' there is no real use for them.

Anyone know any soundcards or hardware that can help me with my situation??

 

you could use the line out of one pc into the line in on the other or probly use some network ninja skills to do this but the old ways are the best - you can get those splitters for around 69p from most electrical stores or via the internet....

 

Looks like the MK-7 is what you are looking for.

Or possibly the MK-1

Hrmm I could use those boxes, but then i'd need 3.
And i'd have to switch all 3 everytime i switch computers.
Is there a way to have 2 audio signals entering the same 5.1 setup?

 

are 3.5mm splitters that bad an option?

 

I need 1 female to 2male splitter cable...they don't exist?

 

of course they do.
you just have to think laterally.
you get a female to 2x male, 2 female to female and a male to male.
wa-la! you now have a male to 2x females.
