    Simultaneous Music and Gaming audio

    Is it possible to output music over optical cable whilst listening to gameplay through the front-panel headphone jack and have the 2 audio streams completely seperate from each other?

    Cheers

    Pretty sure its possible as i noticed on my realtek HD audio manager in the top left corner go into "Device advanced settings" and theres an option:

    "make front and rear output devices playback two different audio streams simultaneously"

    Just have to find a similar option to that if your running something different.


    Dont quote me on all that though as ive never used it...

    great - I think I may be using old drivers - I'll go get the newest ones and see if the option is available

    Cheers

    I think dual independent audio output is only on few motherboards. Alternatively you need extra sound card and then select it as output for the media player while games defaults to onboard. Or the other way round, whichever works out better.
