I am not sure if any of you will even have an answer to this question, as I feel I should be asking someone at the local radio shack as opposed to a computer hardware forum. Yet from personal experience the dregs of retail stores are far from helpful in complex matters such as this one.
I am moving into a new house and am desperately trying to deck out my bedroom. I currently own a PC containing the modest Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS. I also own a pretty decent widescreen TV, and a set of Logitech Z-5300 5.1 speakers effectively granting me surround sound.
Now what I am trying to do is to find a way to convienantly swap the speakers from the TV to the computer. I have never plugged them into a TV before as they come with the stanard 3-wire harness which plugs into the sound card of most higher quality systems. So not only do I need a way to convienantly swap, but I need a way to plug it into the TV period. With the way the computer is set up it is a true pain in the ass to constantly reach behind my desk and fish wires if I wanted to switch to say watch a movie, then switch back to play a game or listen to music.
I am not sure if anyone could provide me with a model of a good adapter which will affectively allow me to plug my speakers into both the computer and TV at the same time (providing me a link would be awesome) but it would be much appreciated. I am a computer enthusiast, yet still a novice when it comes to this whole multimedia home thing.
Thanks for the long read and any help you guys may provide!
