Ok so here's the deal, I have two acer monitors. the left is 1900x1080p, and the right is 1600x900. I want to be able to play my games on the left, and run my audio through my Razer keyboard to a headphone. At the same time I want to be able to have my facebook and planet earth using the monitor on the right screen and the speakers I have tucked away behind my monitors. Any advice on what I may need? I'm wanting to divide the pc audio streams somehow. so that game audio goes to headphones and planet earth comes out the speakers. I'm using only one system for these monitors . Here is the specs:

motherboard: msi h61 p38 (w8)
Processor: intel i5 3470 @ 3.20 ghz x 4
Hdd: western digital green avi (converted to regular drive) 500gb
Ram: kingston hyperX blue 8gb ddr3 1333mhz
Gpu: Nvidia Geforce GTX 750


No audio card but i want to know if need one to split the audio the way i intend to.
 
Solution
if you plan on doing all you mention - at the same time - forget it... it's not possible to have 2 games running on the same computer at the same time to begin with, let alone 2 different audio sources out of the one audio jack on the motherboard

I'm not trying to run two games at once. I want to be able to play my games through my headphone while planet earth runs on my other monitor for whoever else is over at the time to enjoy.

Yes you can! I found a way through my audio manager and VLC. Simply default your headphone jack for audio, and run the game on your main display. While the other display runs VLC, simply click the audio option and select your speakers for VLC. Problem solved, and I played Watch_Dogs while watching Planet Earth with my friends.
