Need someone to help me find a 3.5mm audio switch!!

[David]

Guys i can't find what i'm looking for anywhere!!!

What i need is a 3.5mm headphone jack audio switcher

Essentially i want TWO INPUTS and ONE OUTPUT...like my make shift diagram below!

XBOX360 =========> INPUT
_____________________________Switch Here ______________OUTPUT =====> SPEAKERS
PC INPUT =========> INPUT


all plugs would preferably be 3.55 mm but i can' work around that tbh.

Just can't seem to find it anywhere, can anyone help me out please?? :star:

Something like this?

Or does it need to be switch able? If so could just add a switch to the cables going into that. Not too hard to do.

yeh it's basically that but needs a switch on it so i can select which audio i want...hmm or i could just have both on audio at the same time and mute one ...

And signal degradation, as the signal will try to go in the out of the other one...

I'm doing exactly this, works a dream tbf. I have one 3.5 plugged into the TV and one 3.5 plugged into my MacBook. Works really well, when I want to watch tv I just pause my music and watch TV/Xbox. Try it.

Yep I tried the same thing but you need a switch, it causes strange sound problems.

Just get a crappy mixer, like the behringer 802. Its what I use to plug all my s**t into the stereo
