I think using a small mixer would probably be a better solution than chopping the stereo plug off of a pair of phones and putting 2 mono ones on. This way, I can put it back to normal so others using the station I use at other times of the day can hear through both ears when I put the computer channel in the middle.
My other idea would be some sort of automatic A/B switch similar to what they do in taverns to have the jukebox override the radio, but in my case, the dictation overriding JFW. I think panning with a small mixer sounds cheaper and easier as long as one could get something compact enough. This is because as far as the info I gathered goes, automatic switches would need some sort of external relay to make them act, not just based on the audio signal. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Seed" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
