Hello, I want to have a setup where I can have my pc and console near eachother and go into one audio output. I have two monitors so if I'm playing a console game I want to be able to use my computer at the same time while being able to hear audio from both. I know there is the Turtle Beach ACU and the Astro Mixamp but those are pretty pricy. Are there any cheap solutions like a little cheap mixer or some type of splutter that can take two inputs? Thank you, preferrably under $35

if you intend to connect up to the console controller (4pole 3.5mm combined mic and headphone) and the pc (2x 3pole 3.5mm separate headphone and mic) you could just use some splitters and a headset adapter.

depending on if your headphones are 4pole (single jack mic headphone) or 2x3pole (separate jacks) you could use either 2x 3pole splitters or a single 4pole and use the appropriate adapters to connect to your equipment. some splitters even have separate volume controls for each input.
