Is it possible to have my home cinema and pc speakers running the same audio at the same time on this card?

My TV and PC are right next to each other, but have just pc speakers for internet stuff and Home Cinema for my gaming.

Thanks
 
I've been looking. no luck? if anyone know where I can get a adapter that would be great:)

Been looking all morning and can't find adapter. they might not make such adapter?

If the home cinema uses an AV receiver, you can use one of the record outputs to daisy chain the pc speakers, which would be a better way of doing it. Jack/phono splitters can work ok, but i found they can affect the signal in some cases. You will need to look for a 3.5mm jack splitter or a headphone splitter.

I use the S/PDIF TOSLINK optical adaptor from the card which goes to my home cinema for dolby digital 5.1, so would a 3.5mm headphone splitter work? I don't think it would? I guess I would need a TOSLINK optical adapter splitter. I've looked everywhere...?
 
Nope that won't work, didn't realise you were using a digital connection. What interface do the pc speakers use?
 
Is the 3.5mm jack shared with a mini toslink connector? If not you should be able to connect both at the same time.
 
From what I can gather, the OP wants the same audio from his 5.1 speaker system as well as his 2.1 speakers. While both can be connected at the same time, both cannot be used for the same audio, due to Windows treating SPDIF and analogue connection on the same sound card as two different devices, and can only use one at any one time for a particular source.

I've seen other people ask this before, and it seems only something like Virtual Audio Cable software will allow this to work.

Where would I get a virtual audio cable? ok it's software, but where would I plug in my 2.1 pc speakers?

It's software, not a physical item. You can download it free I believe. Just Google Virtual Audio Cable. I've no idea how easy it is to use, as I've never used it.
 
WooHoo!! go it working:D

Have the same audio on both my Home Cinema and PC 2.1 speakers. :) What a great little program once you can figure it out.

Peace
