hehe

no idea what to call it but,

currently i have a cheap logitech 5.1 surround sound system, which does what i need it to, it has 3 phono plugs for my pc sound card, front, rear and centre/sub. it came with a little female/female scart-esq adapter, so you plug in these inputs and plug in a red/white audio source (my 360).

i'm getting fed up of having to plug an unplug every time i want audio on my pc/360, is there a box that i can plug my red/white outputs into, my green, orange and black inputs into, and plug in cables from the 3 outputs on the pc? ideally with a switch.

if anyone is confused, i can do a dodgy paint drawing.

I've got a similar setup at home and yes its annoying they only have one input. Did spend a while looking for a solution some time ago but no luck..

EDIT: Had another search, looks like there is a DIY solution - http://www.gambituk.com/2008/08/09/building-a-35mm...

You'd have to get everything to phono connections but this kind of thing might be what you are after....
