    I was wondering if there is a custom driver out to emulate 2 sound outs. So i have the voice from Vent, Skype, or TS come out of the head phone jack and the game sound comeout of the notebook speakers.


    Thanks in advance

    I really dont want to get a USB sound card to do this.

    Err no...

    Just no. It's the same output. Think about it. Use your brain.

    Only way to do it is with HDMI. If you have an external monitor with speakers / TV you can connect and setup programs to output sounds from the TV and the input jack.

    Well first off many motherboards support this......some needs custom drivers to do it. My old Gateway FX needed a custom drive for it. Also my Intel DX58SO has the option built to the MFG drivers its the "Same output" but the drivers enable 2 divided streams.

    Please don't act like you know everything sometime your better off just keeping quiet.

    I tried doing this with my G73 and so far no luck finding how to, or finding anyone who has done it. If you find out how please write about it, I've been looking for a few months now.

    Not possible unless you add a USB Audio Card.

    That's two audio streams with two outputs. Do you see two outputs on the G73? The answer is still no.

    In Windows Audio App, I believe you can setup a Default Audio, and a Default Communications Audio

    On many systems this is simple. The G73, however, probably (I'm not going to bother to check) has the analog headphone jack wired on the speakers playback device, so since there's not two distinct playback devices, it's not going to happen.

    OTOH, Realtek Digital Output is a distinct device. You could also use a USB headset or headphones, but that's pretty much the same as adding a USB audio card.

    The BT speakers should come up as a separate audio device, just like USB devices.
