Two External Soundcards - 1 Pair of Speakers

[sgbeattie]

Dear Computer Forum Users,

Can someone please help.

I have two external USB soundcards.

Creative SoundBlaster Live! 24-Bit

Terratec Aureon 5.1 USB

I only have one connected at a time (Terratec is for MIC recording only)

Is there a way of connecting both cards to my Packard Bell speakers.

They only have one 3.5" Jack but there is surely a splitter of some kind.

Thank you in advance.

I have no idea.

hey I'd like to know if it's possible to connect multiple sound cards as well. Like.,. have a USB and a PCI sound card attached at the same time.

really curious..

Cheers for replying.

I also have an internal soundcard (PCI?) but I could never get it to function properly. It is a REALTEK AC97 and this shows up in dialog boxes with my two USB soundcards attached.

Why in the world do you have Two sound cards...two EXTERNAL soundcards at that

Well, you can go from line out to line in and then from that soundcard to your speakers. Or if your trying to get 5.1, do those have optical in/out ports?

I have two sound cards so as one is hardwired as a line-in receiver and the other is purely for mic input.
The Creative Sound Crad wont accept mic input when line-in is connected and I hate to remove the lead everytime I want to connect the mic.
