How can I switch my speaker system between two inputs without unplugging things?

I simply have an xbox, laptop, and one speaker system. What device can I use to plug the speaker system into the laptop and xbox at the same time and just use a switch to change the input from the laptop to the xbox and back again easily?

If your speakers' input is a simple mini-phone male input, you can use this cord ($15) to patch both audio sources into the speakers. The RCA end goes to your Xbox, and you plug your computer's audio out into the other end.

Keep in mind your audio levels will probably be mismatched. Be careful not to pump your volume too high without testing carefully.

If your speaker setup is different, please give us the make/model, and I'm sure many other creative solutions will be forthcoming.
