What audio device I can use to connect multiple audio source to one speaker?

Is there an audio device switch that allows me having my game console and PC connect to ONE speaker. I do NOT want to have them overlap each other-play both audio from different sources at the same time.

What I want is some sort of switch saying if I switch to input A then the speaker will use the game console as audio source, if I turn the knob to input B then it will use PC. Is there some sort of device that allows me to do just that? NOT SIMULTANEOUSLY but a switch one at a time?

Thank you, english is not my first language

    A device that can be connected by multiple audio connectors, no device is available in the market but you can use amplifier machine for that.

    There are suitable selector switches made for this purpose.

    Prices range from cheap to outrageous.

    Something a little above cheap should be good enough.

    No such device because leak of market demand, but it can be made with a multiple poles selector switch. Circuit as.....

    earphone socket 1 ----> selector position 1 ------> output jack to audio amplifier

    earphone socket 2 ----> selector position 2 ------> same output jack to audio amplifier

    earphone socket 3 ----> selector position 3 ------> same output jack to audio amplifier

    and so on good up to 12 sets if selector has 12 positions.

    selector can be found from eBay....

    There are many devices that can do this. It depends on what equipment you have.

    The easiest is to connect your PC and game console to a HDTV. You can either use the TV's built-in speakers but you'll probably want to invest in a soundbar capable of surround sound. Now, simply connect your TV's audio OUTPUT to the soundbar and disable your TV's speakers. Now, whenever you switch between the AV inputs on your TV, the audio goes with it.

    This is basically what I have at home for my setup. I have a 30" 1080p HDTV with my PC and consoles connected to it. The TV's audio is then connected to a surround sound computer speaker set.
