I need help trying to make my computer recognise my speakers and headset as two different devices. My headset used to use a USB adapter so I can plug it into the front of my PC because when my PC was built the front audio and mic jacks were not set up correctly so they don't work. But a few days ago my USB adapter stopped working. My headset cord is long enough to reach around the back of my PC but my PC recognises my headset and speakers as the samething so I hear audio in both.
I have 6 audio jacks in the back of my PC. I used to have my speakers (which conprise of a small subwoofer and two speakers) plugged into the light green jack which my PC says is my headphone jack. I then switched it into the black jack which works so I could plug my headset into the light green and pink audio jacks. But I still have the same problem My PC is stil recognising them as both speakers. I'm a gamer so I need them both to be separtate so I can listen to my friends in my headset while listening to the game through my speakers.
When I plugged my headset into the USB jack before it would show me two speakers in Sound, under Control Panel. One would say C-Media USB Audio Device and the other would say Realtek High Def. Audio.
