z5500 two sources through one channel

Hi.

 

I would like to know if there is a way to hear 2 sources at the same time.

 

My tv is connected through the optical connection and my computer is connected through the direct connection, Sometimes i have the sound of my tv on and would really like to hear the sound from my computer (Chat sounds) the only way to hear this is switching back and forth. Is there a way that i can connect two sources to the same connection? Say convert the 3 jack plugs from my computer to a optical connection and then use a splitter to connect both optical connections. I've searched the net and there are ways to connect multiple optical sources to the one connection but i'm searching for 3 times 3.5mm jack to optical. does anyone if this is around?

 

Thanks so much.

 

P.s. Yes i have been on google all morning

Re: z5500 two sources through one channel

If I remember correctly, Z-5500's Aux in (one on the side of control pod) is mixed with #1 input.

Be warned when you do this, it mess with the input power, so volumes will be inconsistent. I ended up getting a mixer for this.
