I just installed Linux Manjaro on my PC. I have a separate HD boot drive for Win 10. Linux does not support my Creative Soundblaster Z. So I must use onboard sound for Linux. When I boot in Win 10, I move the speaker jacks to my Soundblaster card to get Surround sound, and for Linux, I have to move them to the mobo sound sockets. I need a splitter for my speaker wires which I can plug in to both the mobo sound and SB sound sockets, which will allow sound on both Linux and Win, without moving the jacks. Moving the jacks back and forth is tedious . I cannot find such a splitter. Any advice?
