Hello, I have currently two seperate pc’s.My daily driver running Ubuntu and one windows machine for playing pubg. The Linux system hosts discord and also occasionally games.

In my current solution I use a simple analog audio mixer to control the outputs of both devices. Unfortunately I get pretty mean coil whine effects from the windows machine when the game is running. This is annoying for me, but even noticeable for persons in the discord.

I fixed it by using the optical line out from the windows PC in combination with an external DAC and then back to the analog mixer… This works but the setup looks more and more like a birds nest.

Now I am looking for a solution that allows me to :

• mix digital toslink with sound of the Linux machine in one device
• I need real world buttons/wheels to adapt the sound of both machines independently and without software

Any ideas?

Cheers, M.
