Hey there first time posting on Tom's... Hopefully I get a good answer ahaha

Here's what I'm trying to do. I have an HDTV connected to my computer to serve as a monitor. I used an HDMI connection so therefore I get the computer's sound through the TV. I also have a 7.1 digital surround headphone that I use, connected through a USB cable.

Now my problem is, I can change between the 2 devices by going into "Playback Devices" (right clock the sound icon in the bottom right corner) and then setting either audio device as the "Default Device". However I want to play audio from both of them at once, that way I don't have to switch the settings everytime I decide to use surround sound.
