Basically, I have always had a 4.1 surround sound system connected to my TV's output via a 3.5mm jack that from the stereo system. What I am wanting to do now is provide my PC, which is located about 10 feet away, with the same surround sound so I can play video games on my TV, listen to music, etc. I connect the TV and Desktop via HDMI to carry the sound to the TV, then it comes out the 3.5mm output.
For the last few weeks I've just been taking the 3.5mm jack from the TV and plugging it into the Desktop, but that requires moving one speaker out of the proper zone, and just a hassle. I have seen switches for AV, and a couple 3.5mm inputs/outputs, but I am unsure how I need to go about this.
Does anyone have any suggestions for some kind of switch that has a constant audio output, and switchable inputs?
Something along these lines:

The problem with this one, I think, is that it is for a speaker and headset. Would there be a way to have both my 3.5mm inputs switchable, while keeping the speaker's 3.5mm as constant? Or maybe another device? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
