    I constantly listen to music and movies through my home theater yet play games and crap through my computer. Is there anyway I can have both hooked up so I don't have to keep switching the audio jack? I have an Audigy MP3+.

    Depends on how you have it hooked up to the theater. If you're using the SPDIF for the HT setup and the 1/8" jacks for the PC speakers, you're SOL. If you run 'em both from the 1/8" jacks, pick up a "Y" splitter from some place like Radio shack, Best Buy, and the like. 1 male 2 female connectors. If you're running both from the SPDIF, I can't really help as I haven't seen or heard of a "Y" splitter for SPDIF. There's probably a unit that can split it up into multiple streams tho...but they're not gonna run just a few bucks like the 1/8" "Y" splitter.
