Hi all, sorry for the cross posting, but I want to cover as many bases
as possible.
I am after a new soundcard.
I NEED (read want very badly) to be able to run speakers 2.1 AND a
headset (cans with mic) at the same time. choosing which I want to
listen via (software I assume Vista)
Reason, I wanna be able to play games, watch movies etc late at night or
early in the morning while the Mrs is asleep.
So far the only one I can find that I am fairly sure does this are:

I don't want to spend a lot of money, and the headset I am looking at
does spatial effects itself (Senns PC 350) so the main function needs to
be similtanious connection. no messing around behind PC to change
connectors.
Thanks in advance.
sorry again for cross posting.
Regards
Lepak

If you get a set of Creative 2.1 speakers, they have a remote volume
control. On that is a headphone socket. Sorts all your problems
regardless of soundcard.

currently using onboard sound which is not great and considering i am
gonna buy expensive cans i really do not fancy using lower quality
'onboard' sound.
