Default Connect two 3.5mm inputs to one speaker set?

Hi all,

I have a 2.1 speaker set that I current have connected to my living room Pc and a wifi streamer in the living room, but I have to manually pull the plug out and connect it to the correct source at the moment.

is there a cheapo method to connect both sources to the speaker at the same time?Only one source will ever output sound at any given time, so I was thinkingof getting a cheapo y-splitter and some gender-bender cables (i.e. male -male), but a wiser person than me says it can affect the streamer due to impedence... P.s. I didn't understand impedence in uni.

Any suggestions, fellow forumites?

Cheers

you can get dual jack inputs but they are difficult to come by, ebay maybe

i use them on my guitar amp

quality isn't as good as there is abit of interference if both sources are on
