i have 2 sound cards in my pc, one on the main board and one on the graphics card. i am wondering if there is a way to output the sound to multiple devices at the same time.(one per sound card.)
Unfortunately, Windows only allows you to select one driver at the same time.i have 2 sound cards with different drivers.
You can set drivers on a per-software basis.i have been able to output sound from 2 different programs to 2 different devices by starting the first and then changing sound output afterwards. games will always output sound on the device that was configured when the game started.(even if i change device.)
Unless your software allows selecting a sound device (like a DAW) it will always use the sound device selected in windows.i do not want to run 2 drivers with the same software but different software on different sound devices. for example sound from a chess tournament on my tv and sound from a game on my speakers.
This is more or less only possible in DAW that allow for customized In/Out routing.You could try piping the output of one audio output through the "Stereo Mix" input device (for internal sound capture of output sounds) and then outputting that input through the other speaker.
It often does, depending on your drivers. Some audio hardware drivers will have such internal feedback device.Windows doesn't support that without special software.
You got what you asked for, nonetheless.that costs money.
