I would like to run the same audio through two independant sound cards.
My case is huge, wedged in a corner of the room, and I have an external radiator which makes getting to the back panal a PITA.
I want to run both speakers an a headphone off of the computer but I don't want to take 10 min to unplug the headphones and plug in the speakers every time.
A y-splitter won't work because I dont want the speakers playing when the headphones are in use and vice versa (They are VERY loud headphones, you WILL hear them if they are on, even across the room at low volumes)
I already have onboard audio and a auzentech x-fi forte soundcard, so this method is prefrable to using a switch, as it will save me the time, effort, cost, and desktop real estate of buying and installing said switch.
Is it possible? If so, how? Thanks.
Note that I want both playing, so that I can simply mute one or the other via windows without having to disable/enable devices and mess up all my app settings.
