USB (wireless) headset and speakers
Have you ever tried to play sound in both of your USB headset and speakers? You will have a hard time to figure out how to do it. The problem is that most of the time windows audio driver won’t let you do that. You either can set your speakers or USB headset as your default audio device one at the time but not both simultaneously. Here, I will tell you the solution how to make your USB (wireless) headset and speakers to produce sound at the same time. This solution uses a software called Virtual Audio Cable which is not free but you can still download the trial software. With a little luck you can find full version on rapidshare.
Here’s a snapshot of my devices setup with the use of Virtual Audio Cable software to produce sound on both of my USB wireless headset and normal speakers at the same time. OS is Windows 7 x64 RC as you can see watermark at the bottom right corner.
I got this from your post on logitech, and it works nice
but…. do you have to configure the repeaters every time you start the computer?
Yes, you do. I will investigate in auto start option in Vista or Windows 7 by using Automated task options. Another problem is that the repeater doesn’t even seem to remember its wave-in and wave-out settings. Even if you get the auto start to work, you still have to re-select Wave-in and wave-out which is kind of labour intensive.
