3 sources How to put 3 audio sources into one in cheap without Y adapters?

[Icefly]

Hey, i searched the forum for this and wasn't really successful or just to stupid.

 

Anyway... i have 3 audio sources and i want to bring them all into my headset/headphones via a 3,5mm jack without spending humongous amounts of money on a mixer.

I don't use Y adapters for that anymore because they create a annoying hissing noise. I tried cheap filter's for that but they just don't work for me. Maybe that's because they were cheap.

I currently use a Steelseries Arctis 7 wireless headset. The transmitter has a jack for an audio input but i wanna go back to wired headphones cuz of the delay my wireless headset has and other reasons.

 

So is there any way to put 3 audio sources into one without a annoying noise or hissing and all?

What devices do you want to connect to your headphones?

Certain motherboards have an audio-in jack (not the microphone jack, actual audio in jack. That used to be colored blue, but now with the whole black+red aesthetic everywhere there is no set color for it anymore).

If you have two devices with an audio in jack, you can route your audio from device1, to device2's audio in, to device3's audio  and then to your headphones.

you could try a A/V switch with adaptors

Something like this would work well:

My PC obviously, my Phone and my Nintendo Switch.
Yeah i have a blue jack on the bottom right. Interesting to know. I'll do tests on that.

Could be an option. I'm not sure how they affect the sound quality. I'll try that if Derkoli's option turns out to be nothing.

Looks promising. I hope that little guy will still bring me sound without any losses. Tbh it looks like someone made that at home on their own. I'll try that when i get my hands on it.

 

Thank you guys.

Ok small update.

I bought the 4 way in and 1 way out device and it doesn't seem to be a real 4 way in thing. The third source is humming and summing like when you touch the end of an audio jack from loud speakers if you know what i mean.

I need a 2 way in device anyway so i tried using the method with the blue jack in port on my pc but it only changes the soure on what my pc gives out to be that what i plugged into the blue jack.

I know i can change that in windows for when i plug it in the microphone jack but that always created stupid noises too.

 

So how do i set it up in windows, @sub68?

I was looking for something cheap for work and ended up with this mini mixer and it works great for the price,
