I installed the latest realtek ac97 drivers and so far my speakers (playback) and mic (recording) works just fine. Unfortunately I cant get the sound to playback through both my speakers and headset at the same time.

It only allows me to set one or the other as my default playback device, is there any way I can have both playback at the same time?

Same here, kinda.

I also want to use both my headset, and speakers. And can only utilize one at a time. But the thing is, when I plug my headset it, it automatically uses it, and doesn;t even display it as a separate playback device. wtf? I'm gonna assume it's a soundcard thing(using the onboard sound on nforce680iLT)? Dunno, fricken annoying tho, I want to listen to music through my speakers, but have games and stuff going through my headset...
