    M15x has two headphone/speaker ports but is there any way to output different audio channels to each port?
    I've only ever really used the middle port (2nd output port). Using speakers for one port to play music and listening to a movie using headphones on other port for example?

    I'm on IDT driver: 6.10.0.6241

    There is a way, but u will need to have software that uses asio drivers and use asio4all. Winamp can do that with a plug in. The select the rear speakers to play music, and plug the headphones there. this is in theory as i haven't done it, but when in the studio with a pro card can play from one software in one channel and internal to other thigs
