SBLive! Question

[Kakarot]

I have a SBLive! X-Gamer 5.1 I got recently. I have my normal set of speakers hooked into the out-1. And in out-2 i have a pair of headphones hooked in. Now in my ol MX300 I could set the second audio out to rear speakers or headphones.... but in this sound card I can only set it to 2 speaker mode or 4 speaker mode(which would then make the head phones into the rear speakers since they are in out2). Is there anyway to set it so the second out isn't rear speakers but headphones? Does anyone even know what I'm talking about?

That's one thing I miss about the MX300 although the SBLive is still a way better card.

Splitter cable is the cheapest option - they have them at Radio Shack.

There's a nifty Live-Drive type solution I used which puts a headphone jack in the front that cuts off the speaker when you plug them in, and it's cheaper than a Live Drive: http://www.frontx.com/

Bah! Leave it to creative labs. Dumbas$'s. Koo, I'll prob pick up that splitter from you some time greg... thanks

the FrontX is where its at
Great priduct and when you plug in the headphones it will cut the sound to your speakers

Well worth $25

You can make a headphone jack identical to the frontx for like 4-5 dollars. I wrote a how-to and it can be found at http://www.pc-workshop.net/submit/minor/phaestus.shtml
