: -Right now I have the sound going through my computer's sound card, so to have sound the PC needs to be running. Since I'm soon going to rewire a DC controller to my cp, this isn't really so hot. (Will have lots of keypresses going on while DCing).
Bad idea, have two things hooked up to the CP at the same time causes problems (like button presses not being registered, ghosting etc.) It'd be best if you wired the gamepad and the encoder up to connectors, such as printer connectors, and the CP up to the other type of connector.
: -A switch to toggle between the two inputs. This is what I want, but haven't found one.
Are your speakers amplified? If so you get an Audio switch from Radio Shack, you'll need an adapter for the computer (1/8" stereo plug to phono[RCA]), and an adapter for the speakers (1/8" stereo plug to phono[RCA] plus a male-to-male 1/8" stereo plug), the Dreamcast won't need any adapters.
