    Just a thought, but are you sure your speakers don't have a headphone socket?

    Doesn't your computer have a headphone socket on the front panel??

    I think most have done for quite a few years.

    The answer is yes, you can use a splitter.

    Green is for headset/out

    Pink is for Microphone/in

    (Or is it the other way round.....?!)
