How to use integrated monitor speakers along with the monitor 3.5mm audio out?

[Yashtrave]

So I recently bought a monitor : Asus PB278Q

I have headphones connected to the monitor(located behind the monitor so not easily accessible) and would like to know if there is a way that I could use my monitors speakers without having to unplug my headphones every time since I literally have to move my monitor all the way around to plug in the headphones. My PC is mounted on the wall so it isn't convenient(or looks good) to plug in my headphones up top. I hope the diagram helps make sense of the situation.

99% chance your monitor doesn't support that mode of operation. Just plug your headphones into the computer itself, using an extension cable, and swap outputs (really freaking easy in win 10)

Windows does not support using 2 audio devices to output the same sound at any given time (unless you have a receiver with 4 outputs connected as stereo {a and b speakers}) what windows does support is Stream Routing where in essence you can choose what application uses what audio source.

You do know that most audio drivers allow both headphone and rear to output the same stream right?

Basroil is right. I know that I can have dual output if I was using my Motherboard audio jack along with the monitors speakers, but my question is mainly dealing with the Monitor audio jack AND the monitors speakers themselves. I think I may just have to buy a small 3" 3.5mm extender.

I've only really seen gigabyte drivers that support this and regardless he's trying to use it through his monitor. Windows does not support this feature native and I've yet to come across software that does.

This video will show anyone how to use both the audio on their MoBo audio jack and another default speaker at the same time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV46UXLsVW4

1) Pretty much all realtek drivers do actually, as far back as the pentium 4 era....
2) He just wants to be able to switch between headphone and speaker, not use them at the same time (at least that's what his post says). For that all you need to do is use two different outputs and switch them (click on volume and select a different output in win 10)

hmm, that's an interesting way of doing it. Only will work if you have Stereo Mix though.
