Hello,
I have 2 sound cards. How can I switch between them.
Skype does it eg. ring tone is sent to the default ouput then the conversation is sent to the second sound output.
I wand other applications to do this.

he only way to do this manualy is to change the default output in the control panel. There must be an easy way of doing this.
 
The easy approach is to use only one sound card.. What for do you need two sounds working together.?
