There are a number of answers depending of your configuration and intended usage. The 3.5mm stereo jacks are based on the standard size for computer equipment. Most non-portable audio equipment uses 3.5mm or RCA connectors for audio line inputs/outputs. This applies to a set of stereo speakers only (2 speakers or 2.1 speakers) using a stereo line in.

Answer 1: MixerAn audio mixer blends the signals together and isolates them from each other. There's one called the "TinyMix" which is designed for computers Answer 2: Y-cable If only one computer is on at a time, you could definitely use a speaker & headphone splitter and two cables without any switch. A 3.5mm Stereo Mini Male to Dual Stereo Mini Female Y-cable together with two 3.5mm Stereo Mini Male cables would allow you to connect the two line outputs from the sound card to the speaker's input.

Computer1 <-M----M-> >-F--\

Speakers' LineIn--F-< <-M--

Computer2 <-M----M-> >-F--/

If using a headphone splitter with volume controls make sure they are passive as you would use its input as output and the outputs as inputs. If not sure what this means, use a splitter without volume controls.

Answer 3: KVM w/audioYou can use a KVM switch with audio. The added advantage is that you can use a single keyboard, mouse and monitor with two computers. There is quite a variety of KVM switches so you'll be able to find one that gets you the most. However, if you don't need to share the keyboard, mouse and monitor it's not a good solution as most of the KVM switch will remain unused. Answer 4: Audio SwitchA generic audio switch with 3.5mm stereo jacks for input and output seems to fit a scenario where two computers are on but the sound will be used only from one of them at a time. These are for audio/video equipment and may come w RCA jacks; find one w 3.5mm stereo jacks. An audio/video selector with proper jacks may also work (the video part remains unused) if you can find a bargain. Answer 5: Speaker set w/2 inputsIf you didn't buy the speakers yet, buy a set with with two inputs (mixed or switchable) - but this is probably not the case.

The problem is in the headphone jack. It has a switch that shuts off the speakers when you plug in headphones, but that switch is stuck on. You will have to have the jack replaced if it is built in to the motherboard or on a connector on the front of the tower, or you can replace the sound card.
