Re: Choose PC audio outputs ?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Then.....how do PC-based mixers work? They play different sounds on
different channels and let you adjust the volume and such per channel.

Wouldn't what I'm looking for just be another "channel" played into the mic?

Jonah is right - one or the other but not both at the same time.

I want to be able to play audio files (wavs) out the audio output built

I can't find a simple way to do it.......anybody know of anything?

Don't think you can and even if you did find a way to force both
outputs at once your motherboard would very probably throw its toys
out of its pram sooner or later, the Soundblaster board will
automatically take control of sound from the MB when you install it.
You could switch between the soundblaster and the on board by going
into device manager and enabling / disabling the appropriate sound
device but this would be very tedious.

Why exactly do you wish to do this? I can probably give you a solution
if its clear what you are trying to fix by doing this. What
soundblaster card do you have?

It's really kind of childish......but........

When I play online games (in which the players can talk to one another)
I use a headset and mic. I do so because using speakers and a mic
causes the game sounds to feed from the speakers back thru to the other
players thru the mic.

While I am killing and maiming, I'd like to be able to assign some wav
files to be played for certain events....like when I die, kill, capture
flag, etc. and be able to play them so that the other players can hear
them without the feedback of the game play in the background.

The only way that I can see it working is by feeding the wav sounds
(taunts) out the mobo output and connect that to the line in jack on the
soundblaster card. Then, I could taunt other players with my little wav
collection while I destroy all hopes of winning the game....all without
feedback of the game sounds that I would be listening to on my
headphones that are plugged into the output of the soundblaster card.

Sounds simple.....but I haven't found a way so far.....
