Use 2 Different Audio Outputs/Inputs at the Same Time on Windows [Guide]
8Use 2 Different Audio Outputs/Inputs at the Same Time on Windows [Guide]
It’s a common situation that users have more than one audio output device connected to the computer. Luckily, Windows allows them to choose which sound output to use when there are multiple audio outputs detected on Windows 10 or Windows 11.
There is no secret that Windows plays audio through one connected output device by default.
Thus, users will usually need to switch between alternative connected speakers or headphones to select the required playback device.
However, you can configure Windows 10 so that it plays sound from two connected playback devices simultaneously.
Issues addressed in this tutorial:
2 audio outputs into 1 headphones

Are you looking for a way to play sounds on two devices or switch between them in Windows? Many users often have more than one audio output device connected to their computers. Fortunately, Windows allows them to choose which output to use.
Most Windows users have more than just one audio output device connected to their computers – the most common example of this being the average Windows user having a pair of headphones for when they want to keep the sound to themselves and a speaker or set of speakers for when they feel like sharing the music. Another common example of this is users having different speaker setups such as one normal setup and one surround sound setup both connected to their Windows computer.
When you have more than one audio output device connected to your computer, switching from one to the other whenever you want the audio to be played through one specific device is not only an inconvenience but can also be quite tedious. Wouldn’t it be much better if you could just have the audio be played through ALL of the audio output devices you have connected to your computer at the same time so you can listen to the audio through whichever device you want? On older versions of the Windows Operating System, you could do exactly that using the Stereo Mix option. However, the Stereo Mix option isn’t available on Windows 10 – or it’s at the very least not available upfront.
