How can i connect my laptop and xbox (with pc monitor) to a speaker system?

I have connected my xbox to a samsung pc monitor as a gaming setup at home and my laptop next to me. Now I would like to connect these two to the same speaker system. Is that possible?

I would like to be able to connect my headphones there as well as my loudspeaker (if ever wanted) but I couldn't find anything suitable on amazon. Does anyone have a link that I would have to buy for it? Most of what I find is 2 headphones for one device, never the other way around

Edit: I think I put myself wrong. My "loudspeaker system" is a set of 4 loudspeakers connected to the pc via a headset connection (do you call it a 3.5mm jack or something?). Now, in addition to the laptop, I would like to connect a pc monitor there, if possible via a distributor / adapter like this one: https://www.amazon.de/...01D2XKYZ2/ just the other way around. The loudspeaker no longer has connections and I don't want to spend so much money on it either

Yes… Monitors usually even have an extra speaker output for such purposes if I remember correctly

You can often connect headphones to the system itself

I can recommend Creative Soundblaster X G6 to you. Because there you have a headphone connection and an output for speakers at the rear. And then you still have Line In connection with which you z. B. The sound from Xbox can be transmitted. And you only get the sound via your laptop if you connect the Creative G6 to the USB on the laptop. This sound card normally costs around 150 euro, but your headphones will possibly make even better sound with this sound card.

I also have this sound card, and I notice that my Beyerdynamic makes a little more whuuum on the bass and makes more boom on the kick. And I could also hear a little more details from the pitch.

May have expressed myself a bit stupid. The "loudspeaker system" is a 4-pc loudspeaker set which is connected to the laptop via a headphone connection (3.5mm jack means that), or to the monitor. Unfortunately only has one connection. I need a distributor so that the sound from the laptop AND the monitor comes to the speakers

Way too expensive for me and I think I expressed myself a bit stupid.

Of course there are many methods, the easiest would be if you just get a small amplifier with two inputs and stereo output, most of which also have a headphone connection. Then you simply connect your console and laptop to the two inputs & you can select which signal you want to play on the amplifier.

You can also take a splinter, I used e.g. A USB audio interface on the PC, a Focusrite Solo would be sufficient for your purposes, it has a monitor connection for headphones and connections for two speakers on the front. In between you clamp a 2 to 1 USB splitter and switch to the device whose signal you want to hear.

It is certainly also possible with a newer amplifier via Bluetooth…

And what all the coleslaw for?

So that i can hear both laptop and xbox through my speakers? What else? Right now I can only hear one of the two over the loudspeaker

Is there something for under 20? Something like that for 1 device and several speakers costs less than 10 euro. Is that a different technology then?

Don't you think of moving around and changing your connections? 😂 borders on laziness if you ask me.

You live up to your name too, right? I want the sound of both of them at the same time. For example, play music / videos on a laptop and still have gamesound from the xbox.

and that has nothing to do with laziness. The "coleslaw" on the cables is nicely hidden. I don't want to have it on my table or in front of the screen just so that I can easily access it. And I definitely don't want to change it every 10 minutes

Not really. You will certainly get a usable amplifier used, whereby the usually Stereo amplifier, so two boxes (I don't know what you mean by several) but then you still need the cables. For the laptop, probably the jack to cinch on the XBox will be nicely complicated because, as far as I know, it has no analog output, only S / PDIF.

So no.

To summarize, you have a set of four active speakers that are connected via a jack.

Your XBox is connected to the monitor via HDMI and also transmits the audio signal via HDMI, which you can also intercept on the monitor with a jack cable.

Z.Z. So you either plug headphones into the monitor or laptop or you plug the jack cable of the active speakers into either the monitor or laptop, depending on the device you are currently using. And you no longer want to have to keep repositioning.

Well, there are two very simple solutions without additional equipment.

1) You simply connect your laptop to the monitor via HDMI. You can then either use it or simply deactivate it under Settings / Display, but set the sound settings so that the monitor should be used as a playback device. Condition: The monitor needs at least two HDMI inputs and your laptop needs one HDMI output. Then all you need is an HDMI cable.

2) You are using a passive splitter, this one should work:

Of course, you can't use headphones with any option, unless the active speakers have a headphone output.
