Hi.
Ive been told that i need to design, research and build something electronic, for a project;
Im planning on a switching Amplifier. I am aloud to buy pre-made parts and modify them bty.
To allow me to have my headphones and speakers plugged into my PC at the same time. The switch will be on a "extenter cord", the amp is to help out with the volume. Cos ive heard that splitting a audio signal can reduce the volume by upto 50%.
Heres the Amp im planning on buying;

Ive concluded that i`ll need the following parts;
An amp.
Parts for the switch(not sure on exact parts)
3 female phono connectors. (one input, 2 output)
1 male/male phono lead (to connect to PC)
Will the AMP need connecting to the mains to work, or can it draw its power from the PC? Prehaps from a 12v connector? As my PSU (antec 480W), has a external 4 pin connector.
Are there any circuit diagrams that you can point me to?
Thanks in advance.
