Headphones and Speakers at the same time on ZS 2

Hiya
I have the Audigy 2 ZS sound card.
I have a set of normal speakers with the one connector and a set of headphones that has 2 connectors, one for the mic and one for the headphone speakers. This is also a USB set so i have that option aswell.
Now i know i can put the headphones in the front panel but i dont really want to do this as my pc would mean have the fron panel open.
My question is, how am i able to use both the headphones and speakers at the same time. At this moment if i plug the USB headphones in they take over and no sound comes out of the speakers.
I would like both if poss
Thx
Paul

You can get a stereo splitter adapter/cable and with it, you can have the headphone and speaker connect to the same output jack from the soundcard.

Sound -music plays thru headphones AND speakers at the same time.....

I have MacBook Pro, in WIndows when I play a CD or an MP3 player, etc... I hear the sound through the headphones AND the speakers.. plugging in the headphones should mute the speakers automatically. It works just fine in the Mac OS, but Windows I cant figure out why... it runs on the SigmTel Audio. Any ideas anyone??? Am i missing some setting?
Hope to hear from anyone soon.. any suggestions is appreciated!
Thanks

The sound card on the macbook has a combined optical digital audio output/headphone out (minijack). So sound is being piped out both sound outputs in OSX and XP.
The difference comes in because XP and the windows sound drivers for that card, do not know how to handle dual digital audio outputs and instead of shutting down the internal digital speakers(on our Macbook)when say your headphones are plugged in, windows just leaves both digital outputs open.
To resolve this issue, contact Apple or the soundcard vendor to obtain a Windows XP driver that supports digital output on the dual-mode analog/digital capable sound card.
To work around this issue, use analog speakers or headphones.
Hope this Helps!

Satellite M30X-122: How to use headphone and speaker at the same time?

Hi,
is there any possiblity to use the headphone and the speaker at the same time?
When I plug the head phones in the socket, the speaker is swtiched off now.
Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,
Unfortunately there is no way to use both the headphones and the speakers at the same time. This is because tghere is as physical disconnection of the current to the internal speakers when you plug in the headphones. It is not software controlled. The only way of bypassing this would be to dismantle the headphone socket and permanently solder the connections which are broken when you insert the headphone socket.

Possibility to route Sound? (connect headphone and speakers at the same ti

Hi is it possible to route the sound of my X-FI Titanium (PCIe)?
I want to connect Headphone and 2. Speakers at the same time and want to be able to decide where the sound comes out.
It wasnt possible with my previous audigy 2zs, but it thought now it could be possible, because every cheap onboard sound can do that.
The only solution so far was to choose stereo surround but that wont work in games because most games recognise 4 speakers and some sound is missing.
Any hints?
Thanks in Advance

I used to be able to do that in XP with an SB Li've 024 which?was like 2+2 stereo card before 5. came out.
Thinking....maybe somethig like [url="http://www.pccables.com/images/05004.jpg">this[/url]?(3.5mm STEREO JACK Y-SPLITTER ADAPTER) plugged into front out for headphones and front speakers.
You can also get a cable that does similar.

Ipod nano (5th generation) - want to use headphones and charge at the same time

I have an ipod nano (5th generation). Do I need a special set of headphones to use the headphone jack and charge the ipod at the same time?

The iPod nanos have a 30 pin dock connector and a headphone jack. When you charge the iPod you use the dock connector therefore you can use and charge at the same time. You cannot use and charge the iPod shuffle at the same time. You might have the two mixed up.

Using Digital Out and Speakers at the same time.

I was under the assumption that pluging headphones or the fiber-optic cable into the audio out jack switched the internal speakers off; i.e. it was done in hardware. I just realized this can't be true since you get the start-up tone out of the internal speakers even when something is plugged into the Audio Output jack. Apparently the switching is done in software and not hardware. If this is true, does anyone know how I can setup my iMac so that the internal speakers are active even when something is plugged into the jack. As it is now, you can't even configure the internal speakers as long as the jack is in use.

Problem with audio of my notebook. Audio works through pc speakers and earphones at the same time

Hi all,
thanks in advance for your advices.
I have a problem with my notebook (HP pavilion g6 2305 sl).
The problem is that when I connect my earphones the audio of my pc don't stop, hence I can hear (music, film, ...) both by earphones and speakers at the same time.
I tried to install again the latest driver audio, but nothing was changed.
I tried to use another pair of earphones, but nothing.
I have noted that if I connect the Jack at my pc, but not until the end, the audio stops from the speakers and goes through the earphones, but only if the jack is not completly inserted in the notebook.
I read a lot of forum on the web but I'm not able to find a solution for my problem.
(ps. the problem comes out suddenly, without any signal. I don't have installed any update or new software before the problem's start)

Right click on speaker icon, lower right screen.
Choose playback devices.
Select "speakers and headphones" as your default.
Disable "communications headphones".

you're going to have to provide more details on your setup, because that is how GB works.
you'd have to purposefully mute or solo tracks in order to not hear everything playing in your project

Can I pair and use more than one set of bluetooth speakers at the same time on my ipod touch 4.0

can I pair and use more than one set of bluetooth speakers at the same time on my ipod touch 4.0 or Iphone 4s or Ipad 2?

You can only connect to one device at a time using Bluetooth, See article below for more information.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1664
While your iOS device can maintain multiple pairing records, it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. This prevents your iOS device from sending your data to the wrong Bluetooth accessory.

My SB Audigy 2 card can't use headset and musicamplifier at the same time

Hi, i just bought a SB Audigy 2 [D400] and i have downloaded drivers and programs. I run Windows XP SP2.
The soundcard works fine but it is very very annoying that i physically have to change the jack in the green=line out jack from headset to musicamplifier when i want to use my musicamplifier and change back the jack in the green=line out from musicamplifier to headset when i just want to use the headset/headphones .
In the shop they told my that i can connect both amplifier and headset at the same time and then with creative software control whether there is sound in the headset or in the amplifier. But i can't simple get it work.
I tried to use the green to the amplifier and the headset/speakers in the black (line out 2) and then with creative speaker settings softeware choose headphones but still the ampliefier receive the sound and no sound in the headphones. Why? In fact no matter what configuration i try the headphones doesn't work.
But if i change the jacks so headset is in the green line out then only headset is working and the amplifier doesn't work no matter i put it in sort=line out 2 jack or orange=line out 3 jack.
Can somebody here tell me if it is possible or not to connect both headset and external amplifier and control by software which to play? and how?
please help, thx.
Michael

If you can have an ASIO compatible music playing system, then it might be possible to have system like you wish when using Creative Audigy 2 card. Since ASIO bypasses Windows Audio System, you can use both 'drivers' (ASIO - WDM/MME/DS) side by side.
Say you want to play a game (using headset /w mic) and someone other like to listen music at the same time. With ASIO capable system you can output your music for example to "center L/R (stereo) channels" and same time output sounds from other source (using MME/DS/WDM drivers) to normal output channel (Front L/R). Only thing is, you need to set your speakersystem to 4 or 6 (depending which other channel you're using) (and for better 'balance' to adjust "angle" on THX console. You get the THX console by installing Audigy 2 Zs software).
Try for example http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/463/djs9mo.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
Another option:
Say you want to play music through external amplifier and play game online with your headset + microphone (eg. others but you listen the music, you play games)
--> try free http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/4589/tbp7rz.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
If you use ASIO on BeatPort Player you can select L/R individually from the list(s). Same rules as described earlier.
= You can play from 2 different sources simultaoneusly (ASIO + WDM/MME/DS) to two different outputs without disturbance. The other (WDM/MME/DS) source is set 'automatically' output to (Audigy) "green" port, and the other (ASIO) to "black" or "orange" port (as set).

HT5517 is it possible to send audio out to remote airplay speakers at the same time using Atv wired(optical) speakers?

i like to listen to music in the living room and bedroom simultainiously from my home theater and a set of airtunes connected speakers using a mac mini.
Is this possible with an Apple TV/home theater/APxpress setup?
airport does show in Atv as a speaker option

Hi,
I'm a owner of the X-fi Elite Pro, and for me the headphone + speakers settings works very well. Just to be sure, you bought the X-Fi XtremeGamer Falalty Pro Series? and not the XtremeGamer Fatalty Champ Series or even the old regular X-Fi Fatalty? If so, I'm quite sure you need the I/O box with the 6.35 mm (/4 inch) steroe jack. My headphones are connected through the /4 inch jack on the Elite Pro unit and my 5. surround system through the X-Fi card's 3x /8? mini jack.
I guess you have to buy the X-Fi I/O Dri've Upgrade Kit (or the Console Upgrade Kit) to use your headphones and speakes at he same time. I chose the Console because i couldn't li've with a thick and ugly digital cable sticking out in the front of my PC?
Hope it helped!
