Software tips plus a simple piece of hardware
How do I use headphones and speakers at the same time on Windows 10?
Have you ever wondered if it is possible to play the same sounds through both your computer speakers and a pair of headphones? How about playing two different audio streams through your headphones and speakers at the same time?
Both scenarios are possible in Windows 10, and it's easier than you think. But first, why would you want to do this in the first place?
There are actually more than a few different use cases for playing the same or different audio streams through two or more different playback devices at the same time. It might make more sense if you just think of it as controlling playback through multiple outputs. Not necessarily just headphones and speakers, but any audio output device that the computer has access to. Here are a few cool uses we can think of for this technique.
