Okay, maybe a bit of weird situation, so here goes.

My boss and I are wanting to setup an Apple TV in our conference room to use from the projector. Also, we will be using a PC hooked to the projector. The video portion is easy enough (VGA for PC, HDMI for ATV), but sound is another.

We're wanting to use one set of speakers to work for both the PC and ATV. It would be a bonus to get ceiling mounted speakers.

We have an Epson 8350, which -does not- have an audio out.

So...is there some way for the ATV and PC to share speakers? I'm sure there's a splitting solution of some sort, I just have no idea what to buy. The computer is just an HP 8100, with the typical 3.5mm jack for audio. Nothing special.

Any ideas?
 
What amp are you driving the ceiling speakers with? You would just need an AV receiver that does HDMI switching.

That being said, why not use software on the PC and an mice remote with something like xbmc or pled? It will do everything the ATV will do, unless you love iTunes.
