Would like one pair of headphones connnected to 4 PCs.

I've heard of KVM (with audio) devices, but perhaps that's overkill
for my requirement.

Any ideas gratefully received, best regards, Robert.

I use an AV receiver for this kind of thing. I have my two consoles
and my PC's two soundcards hooked up to my receiver. A new receiver
might cost more than expensive than a KVM with audio support, but a used
receiver should be cheaper and easier to find.
