It comes with a RCA to 3.5mm Y adaptor. Just plug that to the Line In port in your sound card.

I just recently purchased one myself, and discovered this upon opening the container. I still am not using it though, as I have it connected to my sound system still.

Why they don't advertise it on the container is a secret to everybody.

What setup do you have for audio input on your computer? Also could you link the VGA cable for the XBox.

my speaker cable has one of those small dinky headphone like plugs, so i guess im looking for a switch that can accomodate three small dinky headphone like plugs and wires in various inputs/outputs

Erm.. I thought all sound cards came with Line In jacks.

You should have atleast 3 on your soundcard. One for Microphone, one of Line In, and the rest for Stereo/Surround sound.

I want to easily be able to switch audio sources without pulling out wires

Oh, you're using it already? A Simple splitter should work.

Radio Shack will have them, almost positive Best Buy carries them as well.

I tried the VGA cable and didn't like it very much, it upscales DVD's but the colours are washed out in everything.

Luckily, my monitor has composite HD input.

The most recent(not wireless guitar) dashboard update added a few different color profiles. One of those should take care of the washed out for the most part.
