Problem

I want to be able to connect up my PC and iPod to the same speakers at the same time using a 3.5mm jack (very fiddly at the moment) - I have seen this Speaker and Headphones Splitter and wondered if it could be used for this purpose. Would it work?

Low Risk

I would not recommend that. Any time you join the outputs of two or more amplifiers (and a soundcard is just that, if weak), you risk damaging one or the other.
