I need to make a basic audio mux, which will drive an 8-ohm .1 or .25W speaker from two different sources. Both sources will not drive at the same time. This is for a novelty device, so it has to be cheap. Sources might be either differential or single ended. Anyone know a simple circuit to do this?
I appreciate any help!

Only 1 source will drive the speaker at a time, so it would be a multiplexer rather than a mixer. I'd rather use discrete transistors than monolithic dual input amp for the sake of cost. I do have a digital control signal, which I can use to select which source would drive the speaker.
I'm not sure what searching on virtual earth means. www.virtualearth.com is a link to some sort of microsoft website. A search on yahoo for virtual earth doesn't yield any technology web sites (at least not in the first couple pages). I search for it here on diyAudio.com and came up blank too.
Thanks for the replies and help!

You probably don't need a multiplexer. Like I said before, you only need a multiplexer if one source must be muted while the other plays. If one source is quiet while the other one is playing then you don't need muting and a mixer will work.
