Hey Guys,
Am running an i7 system in my lounge room with a 20" monitor via DVI and a 50" plasma via HDMI 1.3 (HD5850 Sapphire Vapor-X). The HDMI is currently running audio to the TV and I also have a headset from the PC.
Is it possible, for example to play a movie over HDMI with audio to the TV, and have different audio soucre going to the headset, eg my girlfriend is watching a movie from the PC/or TV via the PCI HD tuner, while I game/listen to youtube via the 20" monitor/headset.
I currently don't have a soundcard, just running off the MB (ASUS P6X58D-E) and can only seem to get 1 source.
If I got a Soundcard could I run two?
Cheers for the relationship advice
Daz
Edit from 14/5 is Headset is SteelSeries 4H via 3.5mm jack on MB (analog)

No luck yet guys but thanks. I was wondering if by purchasing a soundcard could I run 1 source off the MB sound inputs and a second via the soundcard?? Or woul dthe MB ignore its own sound inputs once I connect a SC?
Anyone know what happens to the onboard MB audio when an SC is connected?
@soest009 the headset is 3.5mm, not USB. I was hoping that with the hdmi, given it runs audio thru the GPU, that I might be able to run something different via the 3.5mm jack but not that I can figure out yet...

win 7 has an option for applications to take exclusive control of a device
so i suppose if you select that option for all devices and your apps let you select which sound output you want to use then i guess you may be able to split the sound.
to be honest ive never tried it.
select sound then the device then advanced and check the boxes.
then do as ace700 suggests for media center.
then load up yer game and see if you can select your headset as the output.
i dont think you will be able to do it if you have both hdmi and the headset plugged into the same soundcard though. you may have to use onboard and the soundcard. like i said exclusive control...
like i say i have never tried it, but in theory it should work. how good it is i dunno.
