Running Xbox and PC audio on the same speakers

[Tore Alkeks]

Hi, i have just made it so that my external speakers are plugged into my monitor so that i can have them work with my Xbox One and they do, but i notice when i switch between pc and xbox on the monitor i also makes it so that i can only hear the audio from one of them at the same time. I have 2 monitors for my pc and im the kind of guy who likes to have a movie or stream or smt else on my second monitor while i game on my primary. So is there a way that i can make it so that both my pc and my xbox can use the same speakers at the same time?

 

Monitor in question is a Asus VG245. I have hdmi for xbox to monitor and from monitor i have a DP into to the pc and then the speakers are connected to the "black" audio jack on the monitor since the green one wasnt working. This is just a "third world" sort of problem so i can live without it being resolved but i was just wondering if anyone here knew of a way for this too work.

Any comment is appreciated.

Sorry if i wrote to incomprehensible, writing isnt my strong suit.

Does the other monitor have an analog audio output?

I'm referring to the 3.5mm output built into your PC or laptop.

Sorry took a sec to get back to you, all you need is a basic mixer and 3x3.5mm to RCA cables:
https://www.amazon.com/Rolls-MX42-Stereo-Mini-Mixer/dp/B00102ZN40?crid=R8Z4RAGGM8WW&keywords=stereo+mixer&qid=1540830918&s=Musical+Instruments&sprefix=stereo+mixer%2Cmi%2C186&sr=1-7&ref=sr_1_7

Your on-board audio into one input, the display audio into another input and the output to the speakers.

If the 3.5mm cable attached to your speakers isn't modular you will need female 3.5mm to RCA:
