I have a Nintendo switch and a Computer that I want to be able to switch between. My monitor has 1 displayport and 1 hdmi. I have an aux on the monitor that allows me to take audio from switch hdmi and output to speakers. Anyways I want to be able to switch audio devices (I can already switch display now I just need to be able to switch the audio without removing aux chord). I am kinda getting confused on the terminology, so any product recomendations that will fit my use case? I think I need an aux input switch? or maybe an aux output switch... I am confused on the difference...

so i dont have to fight with cables, i think it os not what you ask, but i think is more simple

 

the hdmi has 3 inputs, on 1 i connect tv, on the other i connected ps3 and in the third i sometimes connect another pc i need sometimes, the hdmi switch has a function that when it detects a device has been turned on, it changes to that input automatically, so is great in that respect, audio and video both goes to the monitor, it has a button to select each of the 3 inputs if you wish

 

there is a model with remote control to select input and to turn off the device
