Thats a 'line level mixer' circuit for mixing line level signals. If your speaker is a powered unit (IE It uses a line input and applys it to a power amp inside the speaker unit) not just a speaker with directly connected voice coil then that should do it as far as I can see. Also assuming you are using the line outputs on the computers.

Thank you for reply, Rheilly. Yes it is an active 2.1 speaker and I'm connecting it to output of

-PC AC'97 soundcard and to

-Amiga sound output.

(both work fine alone with speakers)

I would like to just use that simple circuit with only two 10KOhms resistors, hope it will do. (don't need mixing stuff)

The circuit on the website you have given, will mix the audio outputs from both computers and output them to the same set of speakers.

If this is what you want to do or you will only be outputting audio from one computer at a time, this should be fine.

Otherwise, you could just use a standard SPDT switch if the signal is mono (i.e to 1 speaker only) or a DPDT switch if using two speakers (Stereo).

You could also tie the output of one system to the line-in of the other.

[First system] --out--> in to [second system] --out--> [speaker]
