How can I hook up more than one device for quick switching on a single speaker system?

I would like to connect my TV and computer to the same speaker system, and switch between them at will. Can I do this somewhat cheaply? I don't need 5.1 sound, an inexpensive 2.1 system would be fine, I just want to make sure I can switch between 2 inputs.

Answer
A simple RCA A/V switch will work fine - you may need some adapters depending on what inputs and speakers you are using:

Just use the red/white audio jacks - leave the yellow video unconnected.

What do i need to get to use my surround sound?

I just got a 5.1 surround sound computer/multimedia speakers system, made by limitless creations X806. It has 3 input audio jacks, center/sub, rear and front. And the size of these does not fit into just the regular dvd player. Is there a receiver or certain type of adapter cord that I can buy to use all of my surround sound at once.

Answer
You bought computer speakers that need to be hooked up to a computer, not a DVD player. It has no surround sound decoding built in. That is why the three audio plugs. The three jacks are to be hooked up to a computer surround sound audio card that has the three audio jacks.

So for your DVD player, you would need a surround sound decoder in order for those speakers to work. You hook up the digital audio output of the dvd player to the decoder and the speakers hook up to the audio jacks. Make sure you hook them up correctly. Front L/R, Center/Subwoofer, Rear L/R.

What cables do i need to buy to make my xbox 360 slim run on my pc monitor? I also have a computer speaker system that has the green audio output, how could i run that thru my xbox as well?

Answer
You can use the optical audio out to connect to a speaker system. To connect to the monitor, you can use an hdmi cable with this adapter to connect to non HD monitors: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001MSZBLW/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A1DCPNQKKEISZB

What computer speakers are best for me?

Brett S

I want a set of good quality computer speakers for under $500 that can easily double as a tv surround sound system like something i could hook up to both at the same time and just switch between one or the other. I have a small apartment so buying both computer speakers and a surround sound system doesnt make sence.

Answer
try Logitech G51 Surround Sound 5.1 Speaker System http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UEH5HC?ie=UTF8&tag=digitsy-marina-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000UEH5HC
