Hi, I want to know if there's a program or some way to play same or different audio in different channels, i meant, for example: game sound in my headset (frontal output) and music in my speakers (rear output).

Thanks :D

Right this means you can do this!
Right first go to the place you've been going to for quite a while.
Now select "Headphone" as default device.
That means all sounds (game sounds) will come from headphones.
Right, Fire up Windows Media Player then go to "Tool", "Options", then click on the "Devices" Tab
And select "Speakers" now windows media player will play from the speakers (for your music) and gameplay will come from the headphones!
Hope I helped

Hi there, you can achieve this if you have more than one audio cards.
To do this you will need more than one sound cards and then you can select the default device to play from.
To see if you have got more than one try this:
Go to "control panel"
then click "Hardware and Sound"
Then click "sound"
Once under "playback" tab look on how many devices you have, you should see "Speakers" are there any other ones there?

Right that's a good sign,
first plug in one device at the front headphone slot and one at the rear, follow those steps again and do you see multiple bars stacked up to the right of the name such as "Headphone" or "Speakers? if so click the "Configure" button on the bottom right for each of the devices.
Like this:

After that click "Test" which speaker does it play from?
Do they all play via one of them?
Or does "Headphone" do the front jack and does "speakers" do the rear jacks?
If you would like a video demo to make it easier to understand just ask...

I see a lot of bars stacked up, but I can't click "Configure" for headphones.
If I click "Test" for Speakers, sound comes out only from them and not from headphones.

Sorry for my english, I can understand it well but I'm pretty bad at writing.

Its ok, and right lets follow all those steps once again ;) sorry about this
Remember to plug in sound devices at the front and rear port
And then right click and click "Set as default" on headphones and try and play music and see where the music plays from.

Ok, I plugged in speakers at rear and headset at front.
If click "Set as default" on speakers, music come out only from speakers.
If click "Set as default" on headphones, music come out only from headphones.
