The problem is I don't want to have to unplug the optical cable from my Xbox and PC every time I want to switch. So my question is would a splitter allow me to not have to unplug all the time. For instance in this picture:
You would think this would work. Some issues I have thought about would be if both were running at the same time if something would interfere or same with the receiver if it would play both or just throw an error.
Now, of course I would just try this instead of asking but I do not have the PC adapter yet so I just thought i would ask.
This is the splitter i was talking about
