Multiple Audio Sources

[CaptainCorundum]

So I'm going about setting up an audio system for my new setup as I recently got a proper monitor, switching from a TV that had decent speakers compared to the tinny drivers present in the monitor I replaced it with. Planning was pretty straightforward until I considered that I have multiple systems I want to be able to switch between. The systems I need to account for are a PS4 Slim, a PC, and a Nintendo Switch. How would I go about getting all of these sources to output through my speakers and my Meze 99 headphones? Any help at all would be super appreciated.

Some monitors have outputs for that. What type of monitor do you use?

You should get a preamp; these devices act as input selectors and volume controls. Depending on the model, they may have multiple outputs. Be careful though, that no preamp can drive headphones, unless clearly stated; their output(s) are high impedance, meant to carry signals to other high input impedance devices (amplifiers, headphone amplifiers, active speakers). So, in your case, you'd need a headphone amplifier as well.

This is usually achieved with an Audio/Video Receiver... What speaker system did you decide on? Might be able to find an alternative solution
