Hi! I have a computer with a dual monitor setup connected to a receiver (5.1 system). My question is how, if possible, to play audio on my main display though headphones while having my second display play audio through the receiver/speaker system.

For example, lets say I am playing a game on my main display and want the audio to play through my headphones while having my second display play audio on iTunes through my receiver/speaker system. I am wondering if this possible, and if so how?

If anyone can help me out, I would immensely appreciate it. Thanks :)
 
Solution
Not possible, you can have two sources playing at the same time but you will hear both out of the headphones and speakers.

Sorry Solution: Plug your ipod/mp3 into your speakers and use your headphones for games.

I wish there was a solution for that problem though. A dual volume mixer would be pretty sweet though. One you could mute my game sound and have speakers for itunes/vlc then use my headphones and mute itunes on the secondary mixer.
