Is it possible to have 2 audio outputs at the same time?

[j.col]

Probably a long shot but,

I have Sound Blaster X external sound card.

Win 11 with 2 screens.

My grand daughter is here and she loves Mickey Mouse Club House, which is on screen 1 using speakers plugged into the sound card.

I would like to watch the news on screen 2 using my head phones, is this possible?

If you are on Windows 11 (possibly also 10) you can go into Volume Mixer by right clicking on the sound icon near the clock. when you expand each app producing sound you can choose the output device for it

Though not a common feature some sound cards can create 2 output devices reusing a jack though I don't recall the SB X having it. If any of your monitors have a headphones socket they probably can be used as a separate audio device.

While you can select different output devices you might find some apps don't like it if using a different device to what they are configure for and/or the Windows default device but other applications you can configure to use a specific device.

I use Steel Series Sonar for that set up.

You have 5 (?) channels to select. I put my 'games' channel onto my headphones but I use the 'media' channel, where I'd put Chrome/VLC and allow that to go over my laptops speakers.
