Speaker Setup - 2 Devices

The speakers use Eighth inch plugs (the black, green, and orange) and I want my PC and my TV to be able to use these speakers for audio output. Thanks for any help in advance.

So you want the TV's (and any sources connected to the set) sound to play through the PC speakers? That's easy enough. If there's a red and white RCA out, you could get a Y adapter that converts it to 3.5mm like this this.

If I'm mistaken, please let me know.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ah! I completely forgot about that. That way he gets both sources connected at once rather than constantly switching cables.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
