Alright, I have a tv that has CRAPPY built-in speakers, so I'm using a Logitech x-530 for the sound. The x-530 connects to the tv through an adapter. The x-530 gives out 3 headphone-style jacks, which go into an adapter that then transforms them into 2 rca inputs, which then go to the tv. I have a HTPC, and to get the sound to it I must unplug the adapter from the 3 headphone style jacks and plug those into the soundcard. What I'm looking for is something to remedy this whole unplug, plug, unplug, plug in issue. Here's a sweet ms paint for more clarity:

I also have a Intec Audio/Video Selector thats RCA(plug things like a xbox, xbox 360, and ps1 at the same time, press a button for which one you want) if that could help

What are the inputs on the selector? Are you using it at all now?

If it has component, composite, and stereo analog, then that's going to be 6 RCA connections which should be able to work for this if you get the right adapters.

Well you'd need to be able to switch 6 channels to get that working how you want it.

Right now with yellow/red/white, you could switch 3 channels which doesn't really help you too much.

If you don't care about having pseudo-surround with your logitech adapter for the TV and could live with 2.1 from the TV and 5.1 from the computer, then you could do it with the switch and a couple adapters.
