Want my Headphones and Speakers to work at the same t

Question

Hiya. I have an Audigy 2 ZS. I can't figure out how to get my headphones and speakers working simultaneously. I'm sure i used to be able to rig it up like that. Now i can't figure out how i used to do it. I don't have a splitter of any kind. I have the option "Mute speakers when headphone jack is detected" unchecked. One thing i do remember is that i used to have to turn up my speakers real loud so i could hear stuff from my computer, louder than should of been needed. Hope someone can help, thanks.

Both stereo?
Same source (same music out from both):
- speakers to Front L/R, Headphones to Rear L/R (or vice versa)
- speakers set to 4/4.
(- CMSS to Stereo Surround (if not already working w/ above settings))
Diri'ver modes on software:
DirectSound and MME - channels /2 (this is default),
WDM(/KS) (and Asio4All) - channels 3/4
ASIO --> Wave R/L
Different sources (one player outputs through Front L/R, the other through Rear L/R):
- speakers to Front L/R, Headphones to Rear L/R (or vice versa)
- speakers 4/4.
- CMSS disabled
- software that allows free output channel selection for second source (like NI Traktor BeatportPlayer, Foobar2000, etc.)
- your current player outputs through "Front L/R", the other player is set to output through "Rear L/R"
Driver modes:
WDM(/KS) (and Asio4All) - channels /2 or 7/6 = Front L/R, 5/6 = Rear L/R
ASIO - outputs 2/3 Front L/R, 4/5 Rear L/R
NOTE:
Above settings works w/ Audigy 2 (6. card). If not w/ Zs, it's quite easy to find those settings which works for it.

- www.asio4all.com (you need this w/ non ASIO card only (Li've!, Li've!24-bit, older, Audigy SE, LS,...))
