Basically I have headphones and speakers that I use in turn with my PC. When I want to use my speakers I have to unplug my headphones from the sound card and plug the speakers in and vice vercer when I want to use my headphones again.

If I were to buy a splitter that goes into my soundcard and then gives two inputs so that I could have both connected at the same time would this work? So when I want to use my headphones solely I'll just turn off the speakers so sound only comes from my headphones, however one issue may be that when I want to use speakers I can't turn off my headphones completly - only thing I would be able to do is turn the volume down manually on the actual headphones but some sound will still come out?

Anyone got a workaround for this?

Thanks

I have a Hama Media Hub CS-440 (so it says on the box) that does exactly what you are after, and is custom designed for a PC or similar application. Just press a button on it to switch between speakers/headphones (plus can do two separate microphones too)

HTH,

use the splitter as you've mentioned and then plug an extension into the headphone one, now you can just unplug the headphones when you want, a nice cheap solution.
