Hello everyone. I really want to start listening to music while I play video games but the Xbox One isn't very accommodating in that regard and I don't like the multitasking interface anyway (another thread for another forum).
 
Ideally I'm looking for a way to mix two 1/8" or 1/4" sources into a single headphone jack. The two sources would be:
 

• the headphone out on my AV receiver
• the headphone out on a small headphone amp like a Fiio E07K

 
Both have their own volume control obviously. I'd like to control the volume from the source and just keep the mixing solution flat.
 
I'm not really concerned about the audio quality at the end of the chain. My first thought was a two channel DJ mixer, but that would involve a lot of cable converting and redundant volume controls which I would like to avoid. Also, all the headphones mixers I've seen are mono.
 
Can anyone point me in the right direction or at the very least point me to the right forum to post this question in?
 
Thank you for any help.

Hi cyclops. Have you looked at the Astro Mixamp Pro? It's designed to allow gamers to mix game audio with mic/chat audio. No reason you can't mix game and music.

Don't tell me the answer was right under my nose the whole time!
 
Can it really mix different sources? I always thought that the Mixamp was just an all in one chat solution with a clever name.

Yep just looked at the manual and it even has separate inputs for chat and music.
 
THANK YOU GRUMPETY
 
The mixamp does exactly what I was looking for just in a completely different, more simple way.
