Simultaneously Output

[djrobbie]

I have a JAWBONE Bluetooth JAMBOX (SOUNDBOX) that I also want to use on my bathroom when playing music in my living room through my RECEIVER thats connected to my HTPC in HDMI.


How can I make bluetooth speakers & computer speakers play simultaneously ?

You can do this ONLY if a program that handles sound output allows you to manually select a non-default sound output device. IE: You can have one output defined as the default windows output, and another sound output as the default output for, say, Windows Media Player.

I use SPOTIFY. Is this availble there ?

What about buying a second SOUNDCARD ?

1) Don't know; never head of SPOTIFY.

2) Nope. Windows will only use ONE audio output device at a time. The only way to get around this is to override the default output device, by application. And 90% off all PC programs do NOT give you the ability to change your output device...

Windows is certianly CAPABLE of using two audio output devices, it just doesn't give an easy way to do so...

So i'm not going to find a solution on my issue with two sound cards ?

Not unless the audio output programs you use allows you to manually select what sound device to use, no.
