    TV + Computer on same sound system...

    I need help here. I am doing a movie room, and I have a projection tv and all of that. I have a cable box and then that cable line runs to another box, which splits the cable into AV ports, as you can see here.
    Now I have the video AV (not shown in pic) connected directly to my projector. I have the monitor out on the projector going directly to my computer. Now what the problem is, is with my Klipsch surround sound system I have installed. I need to be able to let the sound connect to those AV ports above, as well as my computer here.
    Here is a picture of my klipsch connectors .
    See i have 3 of those that are going to the computer, but i need a splitter or something to go to my cable box as well. Can anyone reccomend me any connectors or anything to get this setup???

    I can't see the pictures, but if its analog then I'd maybe suggest sending the audio signal into the line in on your PC - kind of like a through thing ... cheap alternative as I've not seen those sort of switches before.

    Digital, AV Decoders often switch with multipul inputs but thats a mighty expensive switch you could do the same if your PC has SPDIF in

    Here they are... I need something that can split the surround sound things, so I have 6 comming out, run 3 to the computer, then the other three go into a splitter that connects to 2 AV connectors..

    Well if I get three of these, that should cover sound going to the computer. Now I need to convert the other end of this, to the AV ports... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...8843&CatId=449
