    Hi ppl!

    Just wont to ask if running 2 sound source's at the same time will work?
    I wont this Razer bundle http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-003-RA
    As its really cheap and would love to get a proper gaming headset..
    But the headset that comes with it takes up ALL audio outs [green/black] and i really wont to use the opic input not the jacks on the sound card and headset as thats how its meant to be used.
    So can i Run my sound system speakers that only uses 1 green jack in the onboard sound, and my Razer bundle working at the same time with out crashing or anything?

    thx!

    [OS: vista U 64bit]

    We'll the headset is really nice, but after a while things rattle loose on the inside and you can't fix it... also the mic isn't the best quality. As for the soundcard, not too sure about it, but seems good. May i suggest the Zalman 5.1 headset? Here in Canada, its only 56.99$ compared to 129.99 for the headset in your link.

    Yes you can use both sound cards, you will of course have to select the device you want to use on each program, which will sometimes go back to the default settings.

    I know using two sound cards can cause some problems, but I never had a problem when I used my old onboard sound and creative card.

    I use my onboard for my mic because the soundcard sometimes goes on a field day and just start's making my mic horrible and unrecognizable, but the sound difference between my onboard and my soundcard prove its worth using onboard and the creative card at the same time, and im not even using a great card.
