Question
Sound card & USB speakers

I have a sound card(PCI) and USB speakers.
Is it possible to use both of them at the same time??
(so the music will come from the USB speakers and the other speakers connected to the card)
If it's possible, how can I set them up?
It would be cool if I can do this

As far as I know its not possible, you can only use one of them at a time.

It's possible, but you won't like the result

You need to setup 2 player applications with individual selection of the output device, or at least one of them can chose output device opposite from multimedia system settings.

Got it?
Now it's up to you to synchronize 2 copies of the same song

Or just sell your speakers on ebay and get a set of Klispch ProMedias

I have the set of 4.1 Klispch ProMedia and I'll never get rid of them the best computer sound system I've heard short of going thru a home system and they still give home systems a run for their money

Whos idea was it to make USB speakers? that seems to be just dumb... (not saying the people who use them are dumb, just the person who came up with idea.)
