(One other alternative is to use an optical cable to from my DVD player and the coaxial from my PC, though I've heard optical is inferior. 2) Plug one of the Displays back into the splitter and wait a few seconds and then plug the power cable back into the splitter and wait a few seconds.

If you want a ground plane, use double sided board, leave the back foil intact, and drill a via to connect it to the front side ground. 1) Leave your Displays powered on as well as your Video Source BUT unplug the power cable and also the HDMI cables from the HDMI splitter. There is no volume loss as the paths converge or diverge, just some occasional minor low quality.

This can work either by altering two jacks into one, or vice versa, as one jack into two. The splitter separates the path of the audio coming and the output sound from the PC.
#Digital audio splitter Pc#
I'm just looking for a way to avoid having to change the connection every time I switch between PC and DVD player. Addenda: In case you can make use of it, here is a surface mount board pattern and component layout. SPDIF TOSLINK Digital Optical Audio 1×3 Splitter (JTDSP0103) Rated out of 5 based on customer ratings ( 9 customer reviews) 4.4 out of 5 23.99 Takes one optical input (SPDIF/TOSLINK) and splits it to three optical outputs (SPDIF/TOSLINK). A splitter is a device that separates the single jack singles into two paths. A switch would also be fine as well, though all the ones I've seen are for 4+ inputs and are way pricey. Is there a way I could have them both going into the receiver at the same time without losing the "digital-ness" of it all? That is, I've heard that if I just use a regular RCA splitter that I will be turning the signal into analog or something. But I also want to plug the S/PDIF audio out from my old computer into the receiver as well. Right now, as you would expect, the wire plugged into it is the audio from my DVD player. I currently have one of those Sony "home theater in a box" systems with a low end digital receiver with only one digital coaxial audio input.
