I play games most of the time on the pc. But the missus also likes to watch movies. We only have the one System, dual monitors, so i can play games and she can watch, but the only problem is i play action games, so all the gunshots etc annoy her.... I have a dual splitter for my audio port, had it a while. I was wondering if theres someway to impliment the splitter, enabling the speakers to play her movie, and my headphones to play the game sound. My original idea was to use the splitter and get the pc to treat speakers as right only and headphones as left only.... not sure it's possible though.... anyone have any ideas?

I don't do music/video (I do play games though)
my gut feeling (and it's a big one!!) is no

however ... some software does allow you to chose the output device ...

and a usb sound "card" may just be seen as a non system device

so given the correct hardware/software it might be possible to squirt the film audio out of the aux (usb) sound device

I've tried to do similar to this (ip phone through one audio device, music/film through another) and was never able to get it to work.

Any software I found that said it would let you change the playback device changed the system wide one so all audio went to that device!
