Keep in mind that it's not a good idea to parallel two low impedance 
audio outputs with a Y connector for the purpose of feeding one high 
impedance audio input.

Better to use an inexpensive Behringer mixer then feed the output of 
the mixer to an audio amplifier or to powered speakers.

However the cheapest approach overall would be a separate pair of 
inexpensive powered computer speakers.
