New headset - its USB.....I need help

PapaBigFace · 10-27-2007, 10:44 PM

Ok heres the deal, I just got a new USB headset....didnt realize I was gonna have to switch audio outputs completly to use it. I want to have all my computer audio output comming out of my speakers and the headset at the same time. Is this possible. Basically I need to have USB output AND output from my sound card simultaniously.

Thanks in advance

In your case, I don't think you can do it, since those USB headphones are considered a different audio device, like a sound card. If you have regular headphones, you can connect them to your speakers' headphone output or directly to your sound card's output by using a Y-splitter, which is what I did.

yeah, what ivanolo said. but really, the question that needs to be asked here is why the fuck did you think buying a usb headset was a good idea.
