Is it possible to have PC speakers and a USB headset play 2 different things?

What I'm looking to do is having Ventrilo audio playing through my USB headset, and have music/World Of Warcraft running through the PC speakers. I figured since it's a USB headset, it may work. Any help is appreciated.

Interesting thought, but probably not going to work ...

The only thing I can think of if You cant use the start, control panel, sounds and audio devices setttings would be to see if there's a an actual headphone jack on the front of Your particular CD/DVD drive.

Some of the older ones had an option to plug in a set of headphones directly for listening to audio CDs while using the system, but I believe they shot down that option.

Next option, using 2 programs at once, like an MP3 player (not WMPlayer) and the game at the same time - but they will both try to lock the audio hardware for use, and You can only have 1 MAIN program running at a time even though Windows is a multi-tasking OS.

Just a thought, why not hook up a portable MP3 player and use some cheap speakers and the headset?. Or possibly a headphone splitter jack of some sort?.


Good Luck!.

Can someone list me all the parts to build a gaming PC?

Going to build a gaming PC soon and I need to know all the parts like the graphics card, processor, RAM, motherboard, and more.


Answer
CPU (Porcessor)
GPU (graphics) (optional)
RAM/Memory
HDD (Hard Drive)
SSD (solid state drive)(Optional)
Motherboard
PSU (power)
Soundcard (optional)
DVD-ROM Drive
Case

Moniter
Keyboard
Mouse
Speakers

Oh and also, the motherboard, CPU, memory/RAM, case, hard drive and video card need to all be compatible with each other. Usually when I build a PC, I start with the CPU and build around it:
