In fact both analog outputs show up as a single “Speaker” device in Windows, there’s no way to use them independently.
Unfortunately it also seems to have a behavior where when I plug in headphones it automatically silences the speakers. This does a nice job of popping up a dialog when the user plugs in new speakers and asking them to configure it. It’s a pretty standard Windows desktop setup, the motherboard does HD Audio which has 5 analog jacks which can be programmed to do different things like speakers, headphones, line-in.Īlso pretty standard, my computer had the RealTek HD Audio Manager installed, an ASUS skinned one. I have both headphones and speakers plugged into my motherboard’s analog output jacks.
