OK I have an Audigy Platinum eX sound card, as well as a Plantronics DSP-500 headset and Logitech Z-640 (the cheaper 5.1 setup), and am wondering if there's a way to have sound output going to both the headset and speakers at once. The way it is now, I have to manually change the Audio Playback Default Device in Windows, from "SB Audigy Audio [DC00]" to "Plantronics Headset" whenever I wish to switch (to play a game or something). I was wondering if its possible to have the sound go to both devices at once, so I wouldn't have to switch all the time. It's annoying.
The DSP-500s connect via USB so they dont connect to the sound card directly.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Ok. My speakers are hooked up directly to the sound card. The headset is connected via USB and has its own DSP (Digital Signal Processor), so my guess is it decodes it own sound. Since I know people with an add-in audigy card + integrated soundstorm can have it output to both their headphones and their speakers at once, or 2 different speaker systems. I'm wondering if I'd be able to do the same, and if so, how would I go about doing so.
