Spekaer/Mic Switchbox

[waferdog]

Here's the problem: I like to use my PC speakers and mic for general use, but when I use things like Dialpad or Netmeeting, I like to switch to the headset with mic. My computer is placed in a somewhat hard to get to spot, so when I make the switch, it involves hands and knees.

Question: Is there a product similar to a printer or KVM switchbox that would allow me to turn a knob when I want to make the switch, or does anyone know how to make such a device. I can't imagine that it would be all that difficult, but I don't have much experience with that Radio shack stuff.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the link. The one you linked to didn't have the mic passthrough, but after very little searching, I found the correct one for me here:

I think I'll pick one up.

Radioshack has cheap extension cables to bring the conector into a more "reachable" spot... http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif
