Switch box? Semi- Receiver ish

[triska]

So my friend just received a new set of speakers for his birthday and he works for a computer firm where he uses a switch box? which basically allows him to plug his monitor, keyboard and mouse to multiple computers allowing him to switch between computers

He was wondering if there was some device that did the same with the speakers...something which he could plug into his speakers and whicheever computer was connected or turned on at that time, it would switch to that computer

Does anyone make something like that?

Well let me know guys, any help would be much appreciated!

The switch box is a kvm, as to something like that for speakers it depends on how he connects to the speakers, there are optical switchers (if he is using an optical connection) or if they are home theater speakers he could use a reciever, if he is just using 5.1 analog (3 cables) then he can get 3 analog y cables from radioshack (I think this would work http://www.radioshack.com/prod...ble&parentPage=search) (each would have 2 inputs and 1 out and he could connect all the inputs to them and the outputs to the speakers, and as long as one of the computers was muted it would work).
