Hi!

I have a Windows 8 notebook, a jack headset and a USB head set. I would like to watch a movie with my wife using both headsets (USB and jack), but windows seems to refuse playing the movie audio on more than one headset. How can I play audio on both headsets at the same time?

Tks!

Which HD audio program you have? I think you can do this using most of them:
- First unplug both the headphones.
- Open the HD audio control panel
- Plug in the USB headphones
- From the control panel make sure they are assigned as default playback device marked "headphone" maybe
- then plug in the second headphones and assign them as "front speakers"
- Make sure to find and UNCHECK a setting that says something like "if headphones are plugged in mute front speakers"

Then it should work.
I realize this is pretty vague, but can't hurt right?

Thank you for your answer. My software is Dell Audio and it doesn't have this feature. I'm still looking for a solution... :(

Try updating your audio drivers.
Apparently this is a thing: http://puu.sh/bx7vq/1a6974f89f.png
