1258105 2012-02-08 10:41:00 May not work with USB headphones then. That is the option you select Speedy Gonzales (78)
1258106 2012-02-08 20:11:00 USB headphones are a completely seperate sound device and as far as I know windows will not send the same audio to two devices at once. The default behaviour is for the USB headphones to take over as default sound device when plugged unless you set the speakers as default while the USB device is connected.

If you want sound from two different programs to come out of the two devices you can do this but only if the program itself has the option to set the output sound device. I seem to remember someone else asking this question a while back and giving the same answer. As an example I set my realtek speakers as my default audio device and have games etc using them for sound, and set ventrillo to use the USB headset as an input/ output device so I can use voice chat while gaming.
