HDMI and 3.5mm Audio Conflict - Thanks!

I purchased a Dell Zino as my HTPC. To make things easy on my family I have it hooked up to my Samsung TV in two different ways.

1. HDMI to my Samsung receiver -> TV
2. DVI + 3.5mm -> TV

This way we can crank up the speakers and watch some movies or, make it easy for the wife/kids to just turn on the TV and have the HTPC available without trying to mess with the receiver.

My problem is it seems Windows does not support dual audio outputs? From y sound properties I can only set one as default. My goal is to have it outputting the sound from both HDMI and the 3.5 so no matter what input my TV is set, you get sound.

Is there anyway to fix this issue? Or is this a design by Windows 7? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
