Hey guys,
My mobo is a Asus Maximus IX and I recently bought a new headset (Astro A10) with two jacks (one for sound and mic). Now I have my speakers connected in the back with the green jack. I turned off my computer and I connected the headset in the front of the computer i/o's (both jacks: mic and sound). When I restarted, only the headset was enabled/detected so I googled to see if I could get the headset and speakers working at the same time and according to google/youtube you could. I had to go into my sounds options and enable stereo mix and I went through the steps etc... But it still didn't work. It seems like its only detecting 1 device and its my speakers, but its actually my headset. My old headset was a USB headset and I had no problems and both my speakers and it I could use at the same time. Or can I use either my speakers or headset, and not both?
When I'm choosing the device under stereo mix, I have two options: Default Device and Realtek High Definition Audio Default Device. I tried selecting both and nothing happened. The only device that shows in the Playback tab is the Speakers High Definition Audio Default Device (which is actually the headset, but it showing as speakers) and nothing else.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is why I always bought USB headsets in the past because I always could use it with my speakers with no problem
