    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.
    They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it

    Green is for headset/out

    Pink is for Microphone/in

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