Hi

I have my main PC, which I use for gaming and all general stuff and also has all my music on it. I also have a Media PC that I use as my DVD player and Freeview PVR connected to my TV. At present I have a little manual switch box that takes the audio output from my Main PC, and allows me to select wether it goes out to my PC speakers, my wireless headphones, or my wired gaming headset. My Media PC is connected only to my TV. What I would like to be able to do is combine the 2 together, so that I can use say my Wifi headphones on either my PC (for music) or my Media PC (for TV and films). So:

I have 2 inputs, PC and HTPC, and 4 outputs, Headphones, Wifi Headphones, PC speakers and TV speakers. I know I could buy just another of the manual switch boxes that would allow me to select and input device, than onto the current switch to select an output, but this limits me to only using one at a time. Seen as I might want t use 2 things at once (GF watches TV or film with Wifi headphones or TV speakers while I game on my PC using gaming headset) Im wondering if there is a cleverer solution that will allow multiple input and outputs to be used at the same time?

Anyone have any idea if such things exist?

Cheers
