Computer Keyboard/Mouse/Monitor/SPEAKER switch???

[Danny Hoskins]

Hey all,

Scoping around ebay for a switch that allows both my computers to share
all the external hardware (the printer is shared on the network)...I can
find a switches for keyboard/mouse/monitor but none include speaker pass
throughs. I post here because this even sounds like it might be an easy
thing for a beginning electronics hobbiest to build/make. If anyone
knows where I can find one or where I might even find a schematic for
such a thing please let me know...I'd like to take care of this ASAP.

Just invest $6.00 in another pair of amplified speakers. These days,
computers ship with speakers built in - that's what those flying leads
sticking out the back are for.

Cheers!

You can connect the line out of computer #1 to the line in of computer #2.
Computer #2 is connected to the speakers.
