Folks,

Does anyone know an easy way to link sound cards together, I'm running 2 machines from 1 keyboard,monitor and mouse. I only have one set of speakers.

Is there anyway I can link the sound cards to allow me to hear sound from both machines through one set of speakers?

I've noticed that there are 'out' and 'in' ports on the soundcards. Is it as easy as getting some sort of cable to link these?

thanks for any help or advice
J

Hi,

You could probably go to a Radio Shack and get some Y splitters. In other words, one plug in, and two plugs out. Then connect one wire to one card and the other wire to the other card.

Or connect Line Out of PC1 to Line in on PC2 and activate Line In on PC2 in the sound settings (the speaker besides the clock on most systems) !!!
