I dont know if this is the right place to post this but i stream my gameplay on twitch and im trying to split my audio so it play through my usb headphones and my HDMI cable at the same time. My gpu is an and HD 7770 and all the audio is going through the HDMI port of the gpu is thats any help. I am a complet noob at this so any help would be great thanks.
 
JollyJohn87,

Look into a software called Virtual Audio Cable. It is not free. However, it will do exactly what you want it to. This is not a feature built into windows at this time, which is pretty astonishing if you ask me. You can only pick one default device under the audio settings in the control panel. Virtual Audio Cable will allow you to play the same stream on multiple devices at the same time. In my opinion though if this is for twitch why not just use the one input and have audio go through one device under the twitch stream settings on steam? Food for thought. Hope this helps.

Thanks,
