(The 'mic' and 'line in' jacks are sinks.)Ī source device has one or more output connections, usually 'jacks' (things with holes - female connectors). A PC can also be either, but its 'headphone' or 'speaker' or 'line out' jack is a source. A TV can be either, but the way you're talking about it, it sounds like you're using it as an audio source. Things like speakers and headphones are sinks. call those 'destinations', or, better, let's use the physics-y term, sinks.

(You'll notice that some equipment that you can connect a lot of sources to has a 'source selector' - either a rotary knob, or a bunch of buttons.)Īnd other devices accept or need a signal from a source. Think about it this way: Some devices generate and provide a signal. You may be having problems finding what you need because the terminology you're using (input, output) is backwards of industry convention. Is what I'm asking for even feasible? Can I achieve this relatively cheaply ( < $100 )įirst. When I searched for Audio Mixers, all I seemed to fine was: Multiple Inputs with a single output Multiple outputs with a single output Mixers for for the Professional mics which won't help. Is there a more elegant solution to resolve this issue, I've done several searches on Google and Amazon but I'm presuming I'm not using the correct keywords to provide any helpful search terms. I've tried adding another splitter and stacking it so that I can have an extra input but all I got was a loud buzzing feedback from it.

So far I've tried using one of those cheap audio splitters and splitting my PC's input and splitting it to my speakers and headset which works fine. I have multiple 3.5mm Audio inputs (PC, TV and the ability to expand in the future) and I have multiple 3.5mm outputs which I'd like them to play to (Speakers, a headset and soon to purchase a ButtKicker Gamer 2) I would like to have all the inputs play to all the outputs and all I'd do is control the volumes on the devices.
