Currently I switch between my Speakers and my Headset, depending if I'm playing with friends or just watching youtube/whatever.
Everytime I have to switch the headset cable with the speaker cable, which requires me to crawl under my desk and swap it manually.

I guess I'm looking for an extension cable or something of the sort that can reach to the top of my desk for easy swaps.
Or if possible a splitter of some kind where I can swap between headset/speakers whenever I need to? Like press a button? Idk :P

Is the extension my only option? If so can someone link some that would work?
Headset is 2x 3.5mm aux, one audio, one mic.
Speaker is just 1x 3.5mm aux.

If there is another option for some kind of splitter or whatever, could someone point me in the right direction because I have no idea what I'm actually looking for. :)

Thanks ahead of time <3

Can I plug my Headset / Mic + Speakers into this and swap between them?

More than likely you can't swap between them as most audio cards override if headphones are plugged in (much like if you plug headphones into your phone your phone speakers stop working). However, because this is an external card, you can have it on top of your desk so you no longer have to get under your desk to swap the 3.5mm cable.

Okay that'll work too.
Thank you :D
