? Two soundcards = two sets of speakers?

[kwagger]

Hi there.

I wonder can anyone enlighten me:

I have my main pc in the lounge - it has my music library on it. I have installed a xfi music soundcard, and sound is output through that to a crappy set of 2.1 speakers - used for pc work, and through that and on to the aux-in on an amp with decent speakers for hifi duties.

This means that I have to turn off the amp normally whilst using the pc, and turn down the crappy speakers to listen to music.

Is there a way to send the pc noise through the onboard soundcard to the crappy speakers, and music (run by mediamonkey) to the amp?

Thanks in advance

K.

Not familiar with Mediamonkey but I expect there is an option in there to use your Xfi.

I have similar setup, use onboard sound for games etc and use Souncard for my music listening through amp.

Just make sure you have onboard sound enabled in BIOS.
