Help setting up Audio on my PC

My PC has the Realtek ALC892 Sound card integrated in the motherboard.
I have a pair of JBL 2.0 Speakers and 1 LG Soundbar 2.1 speakers.
I have connected the JBL Speakers to 3.5mm Analog output and the LG Soundbar to SPDIF Digital output port on the back of my PC ( It supports DTS only in SPDIF Mode.)

Now how do I make the system output the same audio on all the speakers?

I tried making Digital Output as default and enabled Stereo Mix to listen to the Digitial Output and playback through Analog Output, but it does not output any sound. Stereo Mix does not seem to work. Is there any other method I can use?

All the speakers respond when I test it in Realtek HD Audio Manager.

Thank You.

 
You can't use two audio devices at the same time. Thats the way the OS is set up. It is annoying.
You could split one output to feed both the speakers and soundbar but since you don't have digital inputs on the JBLs you would have to use the analog out for both.
 


Even if I connect both to different analog inputs, I wont be able to get the same audio. I'll have to choose 1 pair of speakers as Front Speakers and the other pair as either Rear Speakers or Center Speakers. So the output is different.
