I can't believe this isn't something widely available. I have a brand new 5.1 surround sound headset and brand new 5.1 surround sound speakers. The speakers work great, the headset works good. The problem is that if I want to switch from speaker to headsets I have to get down on my hands and knees at the back of the computer where the speaker/headset jacks plug into the sound card and manually switch the three plugs. Really, I'm too old for this!
I need an A/B switch for 5.1 surround sound audio. It should have 3 jacks for the A side (front, rear, center), 3 jacks for the B side (front, rear, center) and 3 jacks plus cables for the COMMON (front, rear, center). I say cables for the COMMON because I suspect these are NOT simply dual polarity (pos/neg) wires -- they control multiple speakers, so what plugs the common side into the computer has to match A and/or B.
Where can I find such a thing. I'm no tech, otherwise I'd build it myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! My lady is gettin' tired of me rattling the pictures off the walls two floors up!
