I have a Dell XPS Studio 16. It has two audio outputs for headphones.

When I play music on Windows 7 using Windows Media Player, it can only listen to one of my two audio outputs (I can only set one as default and not both):

enter image description here

As seen in this image, each output has its own item called "Speakers". Can I split the sound to be listen on both Audio output ports?

The funny part is that my wife can play a music and listen on both audio ports of Hewlett Packard Pavilion notebook, and she also uses Windows 7 :-/ – Junior Mayhé May 15 '11 at 17:57

Try using each of the audio jacks. If headphones/speakers are plugged into both, then yes, sound will come out of both.

You are going to need an application that support multiple outputs. Windows 7 only allows sound from 1 output, unless otherwise specified by the program. I do not know of any programs that will manage this, besides Virtual DJ maybe.

As above. Use to do this back in Windows 98se but needed 3rd party DJ software to do it. – JonDonnis May 15 '11 at 18:07
With that, as far as I can see, 3rd party is the only way to go. – Simon Sheehan May 15 '11 at 18:26
