Connecting a TV and two PCs to the same speakers

Posted by Ryan8720 on July 11, 2007 at 07:32:44:
Hi everyone,

I have two computers (a Vista laptop and a Ubuntu desktop) and one TV (with audio out) in the same room. I have a pair of 160 watt stereo speakers that are hooked up to a modified coax AB switch to switch the speakers between the laptop and the TV.

What I'd like to do is use 160 watt speakers and add a Logitech 2.1 surround set and then set up some sort of switch that would allow me to use all 4 speakers (and one sub) with both computers and the TV.

What is the easies/best/most cost effective way to do this?

Thanks,
Ryan
