What would you think of using a passive mixer of some kind? as long as it
isn't padded down to much, you could run it into a main audio amplifier with
a set of speakers.

Subject: Merging Sound From Multiple Computers
Hello,
I'm trying to reduce the number of speakers I have for audio output from a
batch of computers I use in my office at work. In days of old I plugged
several computers into a mixing board but that board quit working years
ago.
I'd like the audio from all the computers to play on one set of speakers.
Today I end up with about six different sets of speakers sitting around my
office. I don't want a switch box because I want to hear the audio from
multiple machines.
Has anyone heard of or used something called the Belkin RockStar? Details
are at
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-RockStar-3-5-mm-Headphone-Splitter/dp/tech-data
/B0017PG8KS/ref=de_a_smtd. This says it is to take one audio source and
split it between multiple headphones but I wonder it would work reasonably
well in the other direction with the right cabling. That is plug cables
from the speaker jacks on all my computers into this and then connect one
set of speakers.
If not this device, any suggestionson how to accomplish this today with
another product. My low tech solution right now to help reduce speaker
clutter is to plug the audio from one computer into the Line In on a
second
and have that second computer just play the line in audio. This works but
has limitations, such as when the computer hosting the line in audio needs
to reboot.
