Here's what I got.

PC using onboard sound at the moment connected to the PC speakers.

I also have output to the 26" via DVI to HDMI which doesnt support sound.

So here's what I want, 3.5mm jack from the PC, then split with source going to the PC speakers via 3.5mm and to the TV via phono, and here the problem lies. I do not want the source going to the TV when it doesnt need to, IE: when the TV is not being used for HD sourced from the PC I dont want the sound reaching the PC. If you get my drift. Some sort of switch is required which would either cut the ground to the TV or by some other means cut the signal.
I can use a soldering iron

Any suggestions would be welcome. Even if there is a product that is readily availiable to buy would be worth looking at.

TIA
