Play different sounds on speaker and headphones

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I wonder if it's possible to somehow play one sound on the speakers and one in 
the headphones? I know that this is possible if you have several devices (e.g. 
an USB headset). Skype can play the ring signal to one device, and use the 
headset for speech - but how is it when you only have on-board sound?

I have an Asus P5B motherboard. On the front of the computer, I have one plug 
for headphones and one for the microphone. If I plug in the headset, all sounds 
still goes to both the speakers and the headset.

It is also possible to mute the headphones via alsamixer (or kmix), so it's 
apparently two different channels.

I would like to be able to send one sound only to the headphones, and another 
sound only to the speakers.

How do you configure something like this?
Do I need a USB headset to make it work?

I plan to mainly use this for Skype, but it might be useful for other things as 
well.

Thanks in advance,
Staffan
