Multiple Computers / One Sound System

Hey guys, I have no idea if this is even realistic or not but I've been hunting around for the past few days trying to see if there's any way I can run several computers through one sound system. I've got a 5.1 Logitech setup, nothing fancy, but does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks in advance.

That's great, where should I start looking for one of those?
Any brands to stay away from or anything?

Hm, I'm not quite as advanced as optical, basically what I need is 3 (or 2, if 3 is impossible) analog outputs running to a 5.1 input.

Except reversed.

Does your all computers have digital output and 5.1 connection?

Does your speaker have digital input connection?

If your computers have analog only then it is more expensive to send 5.1 channel to your speakers. If you don't mind to send just stereo signal then just get a/b switch for 2 a/b/c for 3 computers like these ones. http://www.radioshack.com/search/i [...] witch&sr=1

If 5.1 is needed then just creat your own, ask an Electronic Store technician how to make one. It's a lot cheaper.

Your x-530 does not support optical. Here's a better way to do it.

1) Get an A/B/C switcher - Item 1 http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicat [...] &CatId=466

2) Get 3 adapters for - Item 2 http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicat [...] 1&CatId=79

3) Get 1 adapter for out to your speakers - Item 3 http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicat [...] &CatId=453

4) Connected the black and orange from your speaker directly to your computer that has 5.1, black = rare channels, orange = center and sub.

5) Connect the green wire (front channels) to one of the 3 adapters (item 2) and connect it to the a of a/b/c switch (item 1). Do the same with the other computer.

6) Connect the the item 3 connector between a/b/c out and the speaker.

Your 5.1 computer will play all channel and the other computer will play stereo only.

If all computer are playing at the same time your rear and center will play your main and what ever selected on the a/b/c switch will play on the front.

Good Luck

If you can find and a/b/c swither without video then it's better and cheaper.
