Different outputs

[timbruun]

I'm just curious if I can get 2 different outputs from my computer. I have a 5770 hooked up to my tv with HDMI and get sound through that but would also like to be able to use the computer for games and such while someone else watches a movie on the tv from my computer. Gaming would be with the motherboard onboard sound with either back panel speakers hooked up or headset from the front jacks.

Sure you can. If the application supports it you can choose what sound device to output to. Or you can just switch the sound device in the sound preferences. This is assuming you are using Windows Vista/7.
