[PLUG-TALK] Audio outputs from sound card

I have three audio output devices (speakers, Panasonic headphone, and Yamaha
headset). On-line meetings seem to prefer the Yamaha rather than the
Panasonic. Recording likes the Panasonic. Streaming from the Web goes to the
speakers.

I have a 1 in/3 out audio switch with each device as selectable output. I've
read some about the difference between a sound card's line out and headphone
jacks (the former providing amplification). Can I plug the switch into the
sound card's headphone jack since the speakers (and the switch have a volume
control? This would allow me to select the audio output device from the
switch.

FWIW, I also have a 2 in/1 out switch for the microphones (Marantz and
Yamaha.)

TIA,

Rich
