    Ok so I have Logitech 5.1 speakers as well as the razor barracuda headset

    now the speakers need to be plugged into green black blue orange
    and the headphones need to be plugged into pink green black blue orange USB

    Is there like a device that I can plug both of these In and select which i'd prefer the audio to travel to.

    Like back in the day having PS2 and xbox and like game cube all hooked up to a splitter and just pushed in the right button to get the video to your tv

    Where can I get something like this

    Ty in advance

    I feel your pain man!

    I have the same setup, Razor Barracuda and analog 5.1 speakers. I've been trying to figure a way to switch between them for ages, that damn HD-DAI!! I have an old Trust Silverline 751B 5.1 switching box and I thinking of stripping the old headset connection and hooking it up to the HD-DAI converter using 3 x 3.5mm sockets.

    Code:
                              Switcher
    -----+                     +---+
         |            /--------| o |3----> 5.1 Speakers
    AC-1 |HD-DAI-----E---------| o |
         |            \--------| o |
     PC  |                     | V |
         |                     +-|-+
         |__USB__                |
         |       \               |<- cut old headset cable
    -----+        \              M    and attach 3x3.5mm female
                   \            |||

                                |||
                               HD-DAI
                                 |
                                 |
                                 ^
