simultaneous audio output

I have googled this for about an hour and am surprised to come up empty handed. I am about to take a 4 hour flight and would like to watch some movies on my laptop with my gf.

She has her apple earpods and I have a logitech USB headset. I would like to find a solution to have simultaneous audio going to the USB audio device and the headphone line-out. It's a conexant HD audio device.

Are there any programs that will achieve this? Thanks
 
An easy way is getting a splitter for the line out, and using some earbuds. Otherwise, you're probably at the mercy of your hardware, and provided drivers.
 
Should be an option for it in the conexant HD audio control panel. I haven't fiddled with conexant in a long time, but they pretty much all have it. I know on my desktop there's an option to "mute rear audio when headphones are plugged in front panel" or something to that extent that you would want unchecked to push audio to both devices. Might get tricky because of the USB headset though, you may have to play with the logitech software as well.

Since it's a pinch and its only for a single flight, you could do it the quick and dirty way: Buy a pair of earbuds at any convenience store on your way to the airport and plug em in, strip down the Y on the cable as far as it'll go so you're not glued together, one of you gets the left bud and the other gets the right. You're sitting next to each other anyway.
