Linking 2 sources into one system. Can PC send out sound to 2 different set ups?

1.) This can be accomplished through an A/V switcher (usually used for video game consoles). You just wouldn't need to use the video portion. 2.) There are a few ways to do this. If your PC has both a Line Out and Speaker Out, you can use both of those outputs to accomplish this with no extra gear for switching. Send the line out to the 5.1 receiver, and the speaker out to the desktop stereo setup. 2a.) IF there is no line out, or you can't figure this setup out, you should be able to use a switcher like I mentioned above, but in the reverse fashion. This means the output from your Speaker Out would go into the OUTPUT of the switcher. Then the INPUTS of the switcher lead to the inputs of your devices. From what I understand, there is no mechanism in the switchers that prevent them from working in this manner. 2b.) You can buy a splitter plug (stereo --&gt; 2x stereo), commonly known as a Y plug. Then turn off the device you don't want audio to come from. Word of warning regarding Y connectors: These can only be used to split a signal into two outputs, and CANNOT take two signals and merge them into one effectively. Think of a fork in a road. If you have one stream of traffic (for this purpose it is a one way street) splitting into two, you don't need any traffic signs for stopping anyone, as they will simply split and not collide with another vehicle. BUT if you have two streams of traffic going into one stream, you can only allow one stream to be open at a time, or else vehicles will collide.

One for each stereo system if they arent near each other. It doesnt use anything physically on the computer.

The question is not about listening to two outputs at the same time.The intent of the question is to give myself the flexibility to route one source to a decoder of my speaker system (for example) while routing an other source to the input of my sound card to record it but be able to then switch to that later back to he speaker if I want to listen to it directly. Basically: n-way multiplexing.

do u mean u want to listen to 2 different audio sources through the same headphone?

Nope. Good try. Call Mixrosoft and see if you can get 1 transmitter for both.

If you get some male/female converters, you can plug the input wire into your speakers, and plug in the inputs from the computers into the "speaker" and "headphone" outputs on the switch. Then you can toggle between the computers. It can be done, but you might have to deal with converters for the 3.5mm plugs.

On the dual system you can use them at the same time. Thanks for the inquiry. Jim New World Pro Audio 877-802-0416

you would need a splitter to allow for both to be hooked up. It has only 1 input

HI, If the audio you want to send to the two different receivers is the same, then you would use two of the same receiver with one transmitter. If you want different program to go to each receiver, then you would need two different complete systems. The transmitters and receivers are factory set to ONE frequency There are four different bands available for this 900 series. I hope this answers your question.

Yes, but... When you use a passive splitter like this, there is a drop in volume. If you daisy chain multiple splitters together, each successive splitter will drop the volume further. So the people on the first splitter (where the laptop is plugged in) will hear louder audio than the people on the 2nd splitter. If you do try to do this, connect the 2nd and 3rd splitter both to the 1st splitter (instead of daisy chaining the 1st to the 2nd, and the 2nd to the 3rd). At least that way everyone on the 2nd and 3rd splitters (10 of the people) will all hear the same volume. If the source you're listening to is sufficiently loud, then you should be able to compensate for the loss. I can't say I've ever tried to split a signal out that far though.

This should certainly work. Just match the colors of the audio-in, that is stereo - (white and red rca in) with the audio-out and you can then switch between the sources

OK, mine is not an answer but a tangent question along those same lines...can multiple JamBoxes be linked/chained together to play music as one from a single source?

You can output to 2 devices. But it can only have 1 input going to those 2 devices at a time.

It has multiple source input but there is only one L/R output that's either on or off. It hooks up between the audio source(s) and your receiver.

I wish I could help you. I'm only using the splitter to show the same image on 2 computer screens at the same time. No sound is being used. Joe

No I don't think you can do that. You can only select one source to be the i/p, either AUX1 or AUX2. Hope this helps.

I think it may be able to use both outputs at the same time, but only from the same source, not from 2 different sources.Yet to verify it's capabilities...
