Hey all, I've looked through the forums for a solution to this but can't seem to find a definitive answer for what I need. I currently have a monitor and TV hooked up to my video card using DVI (no HDMI slot on the video card.) I also have an Asus Xonar STX sound card with headphones plugged into the front panel, and speakers plugged into my Asus P8Z68-V pro mobo (Realtek).

My question is: would I be able to output game audio through my headphones (Xonar) while simultaneously playing audio from google chrome through speakers (mobo) without the sound mixing? I used to be able to do this in Windows XP but can't seem to figure it out in Windows 7. If there's a way to do this with just the onboard sound or the soundcard that would be ok too.

Thanks!
