Reddit reviews AmazonBasics 3.5 mm Male to Male Stereo Audio Cable, 8 Feet, 2.4 Meters

If you did lose it, or you didnt get one, dont worry, its a regular "headphone" cable with 2 male endings...

just go to any electronic store and get a 3.5mm audio extension cable with 2 male ends. shouldnt be more than $5

This very long and fancy one costs $7 on amazon.

You would definitely need speaker wire (and wire stripper tool) to connect the Miccas to the amp, and then either an aux cable or an aux-to-rca Y-cable to connect the amp to your source (laptop, phone, etc.)

• Wire Stripper
  
• Speaker Wire
  
• Aux Cable
  
  Hope this helps
  

For my setup I use a male to male 3.5mm cable to plug my Switch into my PC's line in port. That way you get both the game audio and Discord audio through the same headset. Also had to use a ground loop isolator to get rid of some noise, but now it works beautifully.

These are the the ones I bought, but there are a million to choose from:

Funny, I'm having a different issue with my Z906's right now that I just posted :D

Anyway, before my current issue, I was experiencing this as well. I tried a few different things, but I'm not exactly sure which ended up setting it right, so YMMV.

Are you using the 3.5mm (analog in your post) cable that came in the box? That one gave me some grief so I bought three AmazonBasics 3.5mm cables and they did wonders.

Dumb question potentially, but since you didn't specify: did you configure the speakers in Playback Devices? Potential fix there.

Last question, another potentially dumb one. Did you set your speakers to be the Default Device? I have to switch back and forth between headphones and speakers and lose it occasionally before I realize I forgot to.

I have a cable running from the Yeti monitor output to my streaming PC mic input.

I'm pretty confused about your picture if your going a mixer route though, as different mixers alone could solve all 3 of your needs/wants. Let me ask this instead: are you just trying to switch just your mic? are you recording your ps4 gameplay/sound? (i'm wondering why you want to run your ps4 audio through pc) i'll suggest these items then along with adding a detailed picture of how I'd set it up:

Note: you can get cheaper alternatives to every item i listed from any othersite besides that mixer. Any mixer that has an FX Send/Aux Send will work.

you can negate the switch entirely if you just want to use knobs on a 2-aux send mixer.

ok this is what i'm using.

and still no sound.

If your phone has a headphone port,

a simple 3.5mm stereo to 3.5mm stereo patch cable

Here is the cable use for mine, https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-3-5mm-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B00NO73Q84/

It's works very well and comes in many sizes. It feels high quality to.

shouldn't be any difference between the two jacks.

as for the audio cord between the two, anything will be fine.

Stick to discord assuming you only want to be talking with your friends, but if you want the actual audio from Switch mic n game then you need a headphone input splitter -

• no idea if the Switch will still detect the mic/headphone but at least that cable splitter does have mic/headphone on both
  
  Then a cable like this to the computer mic input(or to your portable capture card if it has mic input) - https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-3-5mm-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B00NO73Q84/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=

No, but it didn't degrade it either. This is an AmazonBasics 8ft. cable https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00NO73Q84/

I'm too much of a moron to not tug cables, so having a long cable is a blessing. Plus it reaches all the way to the back of my PC into my SoundBlaster.

You just need a cable. Not sure if they come with it. You can get one for $5 so you might want to grab one just in case.

If you are using the aux in, just add a splitter before that and route one to the sound bar and one to the drums.
one of these:

two of these. one to sound bar, one to drums

If you are using the optical in:
you can split that as well with an optical to analogue DAC. Then split it. But you need to recalibrate.

I had this issue for my nephew, who couldn’t have his headset connected while docked.

I don’t know of a wireless option, but we simply added more cord, and went full into the wired option.

I haven't ever tried it, but wouldn't one of these female audio jacks essentially work in reverse?

Connect a male-to-male audio cable from the RPi3 audio jack to the female audio jack, then connect the speaker wires to one channel (either L or R) and ground of the female jack. And then use the Pi's volume controls to amplify.

Maybe not the most elegant solution, but potentially the cheapest and easiest to implement (no soldering, etc). Of course, I love low-rent solutions :)
