Hear headphone and speakers at same time
Can I set them both to be on at the same time?
I have my sound card connected to the HDTV. I have headphones connected to the USB. I don't want to have to unplug the headphones to be able to hear the TV.

With USB headphones, they're actually seen as a soundcard so the OS needs to direct the right stream through the right soundcard. -- Conor I only please one person per day. Today is not your day.

I am not sure I want Vista.
