    Mixing two inputs with one output

    The Behringer, and I believe the Rolls, are not stereo mixers. Something like this would work - You would need a bunch of adapters, or special cables. It's a bit pricey for what you are wanting...

    install win8.1 on new hdd to dual boot with xp

    As a comment, whether you use hardware ot software boot, the drive letters may change. In fact, if you install Windows (any version) on a system as the only drive, and then add another bootable drive, one of them may not work as you expect. It may start to boot and then complain that it can't...

    How to place 2.0 speakers for the best effect?

    Assuming that your listening position is on the bed, my thought is to put one speaker on the shelf above or next to the yellow trunk, and the other on the bookshelf the other side of the door. Putting them the same height would be ideal but at that distance, even a couple of feet would be...

    Multiple Amps and Multiple Speaker Sets

    I just rrealized that we have not answered your last question -- No, you cannot connect a speaker to two amps simultaneously, except in the special case of bridging.

    I Have A Projector

    Check to see if your projector might split off the audio for you. It may have audio outputs which can be connected to the receiver.

    Multiple Amps and Multiple Speaker Sets

    In addition to Bi-amping, multiple amplifers can be used for surround systems and zoning. Suppound sound can utilize as many as 8 channels of amplification, needing multiple discrete amplifiers. Some audiophiles prefer to use 'monoblock' amplifiers, where a separate unit is used for each...

    Asus Z87-A mobo..Realtek or Asus audio drivers?

    In reality any of the three is fine and each has advantages. Microsoft - Best for security issues, but for audio drivers not usually an issue. I generally skip these, they'll hit Realtek in a few days. Realtek- may be a week or two ahead of Asus. Asus - Generally the same as from Realtek, just...

    How do I utilize sound speakers to one application, and then my headset to another application?

    Have you tried going to volume mixer in Windows and turning down the music? With only one sound card, it is very unlikely you could have separate content. You could get a cheap usb sound adapter to split them, maybe -- no guarantees...
