I just bought a new monitor. Now I need some help trying to figure out the best way to hook everything up.
Here's what I have:
I can't figure out how to hook both the PS3 and Desktop up to the monitor (or to the speakers) such that I can get sound from both sources.
Right now, I can get sound from either one or the other (whichever one I connect through HDMI), but not both.
Possible solutions:
An HDMI switch?
Speakers or a soundbar that can take more than one 3.5" input?
An audio switch of some sort??
Something else entirely?
Question: What's the best option? Note: Unlike some people I've found who're asking similar questions, I don't need to hear both inputs at the same time-just whichever one is one screen at the time.
I'd prefer to not spend too much money on a solution since theoretically I could just move my headphones back and forth between the speakers (for the console) and my computer.
Here's what I have:
Playstation 3
Desktop
Monitor with an HDMI, VGA, and DVI port, a 3.5" audio output jack, and no speakers.
I also have a cheap set of speakers. They take a 3.5" audio input and also have a 3.5" audio output. I usually have them hooked up to a pair of headphones.
