configure two playback devices in Windows 7

[Miltongomes]

Currently I own one gaming headset namely Razer Megalodon and soon I am going to buy a kit of Razer Mako. My question is: How can I configure two playback devices by default in Windows 7 in order to get sound coming out of speakers and headphones at the same time? Is it possible or not, please let me know before investing. Thank you

As per my knowledge, it is not possible. But the rest, what is the point of having the sound of 2 output devices? If it is to play on the speakers and get same sound, it does not raise concerns because the headset is USB, which means it has a integrated sound card, and will be recognized as a device that has its own right under windows. In Windows 7 it is possible to define default 1 device (speakers) and 1 communications device by default (the headset) so that software acts as the operator, but the sound system / game continue to be reproduced on the speakers.

Only some specialized software like Virtual DJ do and support this playback. If you want the same sound then there is a jack splitter adapter used to playback two devices in windows 7. Other than that, getting out 2 different sounds is not possible.

I found some AutoHotKey script that will manage multiple audio playback devices, below is the script:

F3::
Run, mmsys.cpl
WinWaitActive,Sound
ControlSend,SysListView321,{Down}
ControlSend,SysListView321,{Down}
Sleep, 50
ControlClick,Button2
ControlClick,OK
return

F4::
Run, mmsys.cpl
WinWaitActive,Sound
ControlSend,SysListView321,{Down}
Sleep, 50
ControlClick,Button2
ControlClick,OK
return
