Hey all,
First of all, I must warn you that I'm not good at electronics (as you can probably tell by reading this post), so please bear with me![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
A few months ago, I got a new desk for my computer. Before I had the desk, the living room was like this (excuse my Paint skills)
**broken link removed**
I used to sit at the armchair and the monitor and the TV were in front of me.
Now, I've put a desk (which is now where my computer is) between the R and the RR channels:
**broken link removed**
As you can see however, the audio channels are now messed up due to this change!![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So, I was wondering, is there any way to make the audio channels like this?
**broken link removed**
Physically switching the cables is not an option, since there are times where I want to sit on the armchair and watch something from the computer on the TV.
I was wondering if it is possible to create a hardware-based solution that where I would be able to select which channels setting I want with a rocker switch or something similar.
The device would have 3 female 3.5mm audio ports which would be connected to the computer via 3 line in cables. The output would be another 3 female 3.5mm audio ports where the cables that are connected to the speakers would be plugged in. Depending on the state of a rocker switch/button, the device would either "send" the audio as it was received (which means that I'm sitting on the armchair, watching TV), or "send" it to the "correct" speakers (L->R, R->RR, RL->L, RR->RL, C->?? (possibly R and RR?)).
I've also drawn two small "schematics" to show you what I mean.
When the switch/button is into position 1 the setup for watching TV will be used:

When the switch/button is into position 2 the setup for using the computer will be used:

Would that work?![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thanks![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
