Hello,
I've got two computers that I'd like to hook up with one set of speakers, and I'm wondering if there is any issues doing this just using a Y-cable? The only thing I could think of as a concern is that there's two outputs on one line...not sure if that's ok. This would all be over TRS connector / jack plug. Normal operation would be that only one computer is outputting at a time, but I could possibly forget and have them both outputting at the same time. I'm guessing this is something where a receiver would normally be used, but is there any problem with ghetto-rigging it like this?
Please help
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
