Desktop speakers and headphone/microphone set : how to use them together ?

[Guest]

Hello Newsgroup ....

I would like to use my desktop speakers and my USB headset (head phones + microphone) at the same time

My desktop speakers are set as the default sound scheme
When I want to change to head phones, I have to go through the control panel in order to change the sound scheme

What I would like to do instead is
- lowering the desktop speaker volum
- simply putting on my head se
and that's it

Can somebody give me a hint please

Regards
Geo

My kids had exactly the same problem. I bought them a very handy little
device at CompUSA which is a speaker/headphones switcher. The one I
bought is from Plantronics, and I believe it was around $20 - quite
inexpensive. It is small and has a switch on it that allows you to
change from speakers to headphones very easily.

HTH,

Hello again Malke

It was too beautiful to be true
I'm afraid that the switchbox would not work in my case

My speakers are connected to my sound-card
But my head-set is a USB device

Thanks all the same for trying to help me however

I'm sorry that didn't work for you. Maybe there is another brand that
might.

Good luck,
