Sharing Speakers Between Computers

I have both an osx86 machine and a standard pc. On a media level, i use the osx86 machine for audio, and the pc for video. I want to know if theres a way for me to use a single set of speakers on both computers with as little audio quality loss.

To start, I haven't lived in the states for over 6 years, but I would imaging you can get a switch with 2 inputs and 1 output where all of the jacks on it are 1/8" (naturally assuming that your speakers and audio outs are all 1/8" ). I would look at an electronics store like Radio Shack (or something like this). Look at it like a KVM switch, but not for monitor/keyboard/mouse. With this configuration all you would need is the switch and 2 male-male cables with 1/8" jacks (kind of like how you can connect the "control" signal between stereo equipment to avoid having like 6 remotes...

I hope this helps some and I wish I could tell you exactly where to find a switch like that, but that is the best I can come up with for now...

I bet if he googled it he would find a solution online.

Read this hopefully it will help.

DO NOT USE A Y ADAPTER!!!!! The signal from one audio source may very likely damage the other audio source! You will have to use a switch.

See if this place has anything.
