the hardware i have

sound Blaster G5
SHP9500
Vmobo pro mic

this is how i have things setup as i want to have all audio/mic input into one device to control all.

Back inputs
-i have Xbox one X audio connected to the sound blaster by the optical audio.
-I have a speaker connected to the sound blaster by 3.5 mm jack
-i have the sound blaster usb connected to my pc.

this formate lets me hear sound from both my pc and xbox at the sametime through my headsets or through my speakers.

Now my last mission is to have my Mic send inputs to both the pc/console.

for the pc its very simple...the headphone jack on the right is a two in one..simple plug it in and it works. the xbox is a little tricky as it needs to be connected into the controller itself to work.

is there a cable that turns one mic plug and splits it into Two mic plug?
or any good ideas to work around this?

Okay so you need the Elgato Gaming Chat Link. Then you need a Simultaneously Y Splitter Audio 2 Female to 1 Male for your headset mic and audio. This plugs in to the male of the Elgato cable to controller. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01M0T6PSF/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1
Then you need the reverse piece a Jack Splitter 2 Plug Male to 3.5mm Female https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01M8G1U0C/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1
This will complete the line to your computer. If you can save up you should get the hardware to do this properly but this is a cheap way to do it.
So basically the first splitter mates your audio and mic headset to the controller then the other mates your controller to your computer. Does the make sense?
