Question Two PC's One Headset

[Syphonex]

So I have a secondary PC that I use for streaming. I want to listen to music while playing games. Is there a way i can connect my 3.5mm headphones to both pc's at once? For some reason having spotify or YouTube open makes me lag.

in theory you can buy a Splitter, but tbh I don't think its a good idea.

what would you recommend then?

Well you can extend them both and try it.
It should in theory work...
Y splitter 3.5mm socket to 2x 3.5mm jacks - but these are normally not very long, so you would have to extend one of them to the other computer which would be a 3.5mm extension

Something like that will do you, 1 plug into one computer and one into the other

That plugs into the other end of the y splitter then into the other computer

dunno, i was just trying to guide you.
i told you what you need, you need to find it, if that is wrong, it's wrong.
