Would there be a problem with having two identical sound cards (both PCI non-onboard) on a system? Both outputting to different devices?
Thanks

Couldn't you just get a headphone splitter cable if you want the same sound to go to 2 places? That is what I do with my Xonar and it works great.
It's not possible with analogue headphones and speakers.
The only way it might be possible, is if you have one device that is using SPDIF connection to the sound card, and another that uses analogue. That way, you could connect some speakers that have a digital connection, for eg, and use SPDIF as Windows default audio, which any game would then use.
VOIP would be set to use analogue connection on the sound card, which you would have a headset connected.
Digital and analogue are treated as separate sound devices.
In theory that should work, as long as digital and analogue connections on the sound card can be used simultaneously by different applications.
You can't connect two analogue devices to a sound card, and have each device with a different sound source being sent to it. You would have to have two sound cards, or a sound card and onboard audio.
I use a USB soundcard that came with my headset for Vent whilst outputing game sound from an internal soundcard. Works fine.
Carcharias' really deserve something better than onboard audio, or a cheap USB sound card. Same goes for the Aego's really.
If the Carcharias' are mainly used for VOIP though, then I'd connect those to your onboard audio, and have the Aego's connected to a sound card.
