I want my voice to go to my Xbox, have my Xbox audio come out, have my PC audio come out and inject PC audio in my Xbox party if this makes sense

You could maybe do this with some breakout cables - you'd need a pretty complicated setup.

 

Literally the only way to get the PC Audio going into your Mic feed (I'm assuming so you can play stuff and your party can hear it), is to take your PC Audio Out, have that go into a Mixer, have your Mic also go into the same mixer, then output the Mixer to the correct cable, which goes into the Mic port on your Controller. I'm assuming you have the controller with the 3.5mm port btw.

 

In terms of the Audio from the Xbox, you have two ways of doing that, and it really depends on how the Xbox handles voice chat. You can either take the audio out from the back of the Xbox (optical or whatever - I don't recall if there are RCA jacks for audio), convert them to the correct cable type (Eg: if optical, use optical to RCA converter), then jack that cable into the Mixer (That way the mixer is outputting both the Xbox audio, and the PC Audio into your headphones, as well as into your Mic).

 

Alternatively, you might have to use a 3.5mm breakout cable to separate the Output and Input from the controller, routing the Output to the mixer, and the mixer into the Input.

 

No matter what, this is gonna be cable city, with cables going everywhere.

I have zero experience with anything close to this.  But knowing that MS audio is lacking greatly and xbox is a simplified MS OS I'd say it's next to impossible.

 

Even if you take it to the simplest form of cables it's not easy to put two sources into one output at the same time.  Yes there are switchers but they won't play the two sources at the same time.  I am sure there is mixing gear that can do such a thing in a wired world however I highly doubt such a thing exists wireless.

Can you explain exactly what you mean?

 

Are you talking about combining the audio from your Xbox and your PC and outputting it to the headphone jack of your Xbox Controller? If so, how is the Xbox Controller connected? To the PC, or to the Xbox?

 

If the latter, you're 100% boned. If the former, it might be possible, certainly but I can't imagine it would be straight forward. Possibly could be done via Virtual Audio Cables.

 

If your primary goal is to combine the audio sources, using a Mixer or Audio Interface would be more straight forward. You would take both the PC and the Xbox, and plug their audio outputs into a couple of inputs on the Mixer, then you can just plug your headphones into the mixer (or use speakers).

You'll probably need a summing amplifier of some form. Why do you want to do this? There are a lot of reasons why it's probably a bad idea. 

 

The easiest way to do it is to just buy a cheap mixer and use the line inputs. There are cheap things on the market that would probably be good enough for this.

 

I've never had one of these in hand, so I can't promise you that it isn't woefully awful, but for $27 it might be worth a try. It's simple enough that it would be pretty hard to screw up designing. You'll have to buy / make some cables to use it though.

I'm hesitant to recommend it since I haven't had the ability to test one. For $27 it's not going to be great, but it's hard to guess at the level of crappiness without doing some testing on it.
