Hello. As stated in the title, I would like to connect my headset to 2 computers. I would like to find a solution so that I can speak and hear on both PCs. Best regards.

    Hello,
    Is it a USB or jack headset?

      I can connect it either via USB or Jack.

      @B-BRFor what you want to do, the analog connection has its advantages; you can split the output hardware-wise with an adapter. I'm not sure if it's possible via USB; it depends on how Windows behaves with a USB sound card. I've never tested splitting a USB headset between two PCs. But I have serious doubts that it’s possible since it's a digital signal...

      Do the two PCs in question have a single 4-pole jack (which includes both the microphone and the headset) or two separate jacks?

      @AluMinioumeI'm really behind in terms of computer skills. I have only one jack on my computers for the mic and audio.

      @B-BRIt's quite complicated to find a 4-pole jack splitter.

      I found this, and you would need to add a cable like this one to connect to the second PC.

      The adapter is normally meant for the opposite direction, connecting two headsets to a single output, which explains that.

      We have to hope that the splitter has female 4-pin jacks, it should normally be the case since it is indicated in the title.

      @AluMinioumeThank you for this information. And with the USB port, is it not possible?

    Solution 1, with only cables:


    Solution 2, (which I just added), also with only cables:


    Here is solution 3, with a mixing table.

    And for the assignments, necessary to avoid feedback and to prevent the sound from one PC from interfering with another:
    IN 2 to OUT 1 and OUT 3
    IN 1 to OUT 2
    IN 3 to OUT 2

      Links or where can I buy all that?
    2. AluMinioume
      @B-BRCan you confirm that your headset has a single male jack plug with 4 contact points? Because I quickly looked and didn't see this headset with that connection.

      @AluMinioumeAs I told you, I don't know anything about it. I know I can plug it in via USB or jack.

      @B-BRThat you don't know anything is one thing, but you can observe what the jack plug looks like.
      If it has 3 or 4 contacts
