Can someone please tell me the setup so I can have 1 song playing through my speakers and 1 playing through my headphones, I can get 1 playing through headphones..but I am then unable to transfer that to the speakers for when i need it.

    honestly man? doing it the cheap way will always give you headaches..

    you prob paid 20-30 bucks for a cheap usb soundcard that you cant get to work, whereas if you would buy a decent starter soundcard ie, Audio 2 or DJ-i/o (or something along those lines) youd prob accomlish what you want with little headache (as i dont believe the card you bought was designed with what you are trying to do in mind

    If you get the audio2 you will be happy with it for a long time...it's well built and sounds great...probably the one piece of your system you shouldn't skimp on...
