I guess this could go in the PC forum but it's really a cabling question that I have... :p
Is there any kind of optical Y connector/cable, so that I can plug both of the optical sources into the 1 optical port?
I have a PC with a good sound card that has an optical port on it for dolby digital. I just ordered a brand new Mac G5 that also has an optical port to do the same thing. I also ordered a nice set of 5.1 speakers, that only connect with an optical cable. I'm going to have my PC and Mac connected with a monitor, keyboard and mouse usb switch box so they both use the same stuff. I want to connect both to my new speakers, but there's only 1 optical port.
Anyone know if this will be possible at all? If so anyone know where I can get such a cable/connector/whatever?
