I was thinking of doing this too. My speakers have an internal cable that can't be removed, that's the problem. Many switches do too. I think the two cables on the switch could hook to the sound cards, and the plug is where you'd usually hook headphones, but I don't see why speakers wouldn't work equally well. A mixer could work too, but I doubt there are any that are real small to mix a couple devices like that. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
