Hey,

Was wondering if someone could help me.
Im trying to connect 2 soundcards to 1 set of speakers. Both soundcards are in the same PC (1 onboard, 1 X-fi)
The onboard soundcard will only be used for Ventrilo, and the X-fi for everything else. The reason I want to do this is Streaming to Twitch.tv, I dont want viewers to hear my Ventrilo conversations.

Speakers/Headphones
SC2------/


I have read that using a Y-cable to achieve this is a bad idea, it can damage the soundcards and also sounds pretty terrible.
Then I found out about this small device - http://www.stoweblank.com/tinymix

It seems to do exactly what I want to do, but its in the US and shipping to the UK would probably end up costly.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a similar device that I could buy? Main issue is sound quality needs to be kept high, and both outputs need to be active at the same time.

Thanks for reading

How about an audio input switch? Google that exact phrase. I wouldn't recommend having both inputs active at once in case you blow your speakers.

If you need any additional cables or adapters you might try Maplins.
