Hi All,

My question is as tittle, is this possible?
Can I separate audio in to two devices? I would like to play CSGO with sound thru my SteelSeries Elite Prism which are connected thru SteelSeries USB sound card while my girlfriend is watching for example some film on Allplayer or online thru web browser.

TV is connected thru HDMI cable to my AMD R9 290X and Headphones thru USB soundcard to motherboard.

Is this possible?

For your Primary audio output you can set it to the HDMI out while in sound manager in OS provided we're talking about a system running on Windows. Then in game or any other application you can go into settings and then select the audio output device to your headset.
