I've just fitted a Sound Blaster Z series card with mic, headphone and surround sound speaker outputs.

I would like to have the option of either using the phones, or the speakers, or even both together but can only get sound through either at any one time.

I've tried right clicking Stereo Mix > Properties > Listen > Playback through this Device, and selecting all the options one by one, but can only get sound through the headphones. The only way I can get sound through the speakers is to physicaly remove the headphone jack.

Is there a way of getting sound through both ?

Thanks

Guys,

Thanks for all your info.

The reason I might want to have both working together is that at times there will be more people than myself in the room, and due to my partial deafness I much prefer to use headphoness rather than having speakers too loud for others to listen comfortably. It's not because I can't be bothered to switch betwen the two as has been suggested.

Please excuse my ignorance, but can someone explain how to switch from one to the other ? As you can guess I don't have a great deal of experience in this.

Thanks

Ron
