Windows 7: Issues with my audio options

Issues with my audio options

No idea whats triggered all of my audio to kick off but recently it's decided it doesn't want to work the way I previously had it set up.

I'm using the onboard card (check profile for mobo), and I have 3 audio outputs. Headphones, Headphones and Speakers.

1. Headphones - Used when I'm at my desk, also has a mic. I use these for voip/listening to music late at night.
2. Headphones - Use these ones when I'm watching movies in bed at night.
3. Speakers - Used whenever I need them during the daytime.

People tend to get pissed if I play music all night or watch films while people are trying to sleep.

Previously to the change, I had them all outputting the same thing, one audio stream in Realtek (Speakers) so it worked previously.

Now I can only attach 2 devices to one stream. So for example I can have my speakers & headphones at desk working, headphones and headphones, but never all 3. This gets annoying when I start a film, get in bed and the audio isn't streaming to that device. THe only solution seems to be to unplug one device, but that's a pain.

What I need is a solution to the above problem, or, a way to achieve the below.

Headphones 1 (desk) are always used for gaming, music, voip.
Speakers are used for the same as the above.
Headphones 2 are only ever used for Films.

Sometimes when I'm VOIPing I want music in the background from the speakers. This means I can be on teamspeak, as well as listening to my music.



I'd need an application to store "profiles" of what outputs where. I doubt this is possible, but if it is, it'd be sweet.

Any help appreciated.
Cheers.
