I'm using a Soundblaster X-Fi XtremeMusic and I'd like to connect two inputs and two outputs.

The outputs are my Beyer DT770/80's and my old-fashioned Creative speakers. I primarily use the DT770s unless I'm playing a movie trailer or something for my wife to hear, then I like to use the speakers.

The inputs I need are two regular stereo inputs (eg. two channel RCA jacks --> mini-jack). For example, I want to hookup my PS2 and Wii to my soundcard (stereo only).

How can I do this without losing any quality? I can just buy two mini-Y splitters, but won't I lose a lot of quality doing that? Would that even work?

Thanks!

For the wii/ps2 you need a stereo 3.5mm to rca (female). Connect the 3.5mm end into the Line-in of your soundcard, the rca jacks connect to the wii/ps2. Set your recording device to Line-in within windows sound control panel.
Do you have a Line-out on your soundcard? Usually this would be used for pc speakers that have their own amp which most do anyways. Headphones should be connected to the headphone output.

I have an X-Fi XM myself, and if I remember correctly, you have one headphone-out and two line-outs along with a line-in? Should be enough for a pair of phones and a pair of speakers

Also, I had no idea you could input sound from a videogame console into the soundcard! This is great news for me. I've always wanted to buy a VGA-cable for my Xbox360 and play it on my computer monitor, but thought I'd have to go without sound if I did!
