I want to see if its possible to get both the console and pc sounds coming thru both instead of unplugging my headset everytime from one and another :) If you need any specs or something let me know
 
Solution
It depends how everything is hooked up.

The easiest solution is to have a MONITOR with your PC using DP or HDMI with audio and hookup the headphones to desktop speakers. (then change inputs on the monitor to toggle between PC and console).

Or use the headphone jack on the monitor/HDTV if that works.

If that doesn't apply then please explain what monitor/HDTV, Graphics card outputs etc you have.

Also whether the headset is USB or just single 3.5mm audio cable.

I am using dvi from my monitor to my gpu
 
So your PC audio would have to come out of the computer direct to the speakers. If you want to SHARE those speakers it's complicated. You probably use HDMI so if the monitor doesn't have audio passthrough I'm not sure what to recommend.

There are a bunch of videos on YouTube but you have to work backwards from what speakers you want to have the audio. Normal stereo speakers with 3.5mm input or what?
