Can you use the headset and 5.1 speaker ports at the same time?

No, There is a button on the base that will either select Speakers or Headset.
2080528
You can use only 1 at the time. There is a button on remote control to to switch between speakers and headsets.

You can have them plugged in, but you will not be able to use them at the same time unless a program let's you select the output.

You can only use one at a time. There is this button called "SPEAKER" that switches between the ehadset and speakers.

I've got my headset plugged in at the front USB and my Speakers at the back and I can use both at the same time

the headset has a speaker toggle button that allows you to switch between the two. the 5.1 plugs into the built in soundcard. i have yet to have both speakers and headset going at the same time. i hope this helps with your question

You should be able to plug into both without issue... unless your audio interface doesn't have XLR input output on it.

My speakers do not use the digital interface, but I am using 5.1 speakers. If your speakers use the digital interface, I don't see any reason why they would not work in 5.1.

Hello, yes the computer is ok for using a headset. Port is USB 1.1, thank you, best regards.

Nope. You can connect two inputs and one output (standard ear plug/speaker connector). I think there may also be an RCA audio input, but would need to check.

Yes, you can do 5.1 as I currently do now. But the receiver can configure to run on 7.1 and even 7.2 speaker system.

Surround Back (Left and Right) can be assigned to a separate zone. So if you want a 5.1 and a 2.0 system, the answer is "Yes". If you want a 5.1 and a 2.1 playing different things, I'm not so sure.

This is for the opposite purpose-using an older-style headset, one with separate cords for the mic and headphones, with a newer device like a smartphone. I'm guessing you have a PC with an actual sound card, and separate mic and speaker plugs (usually red and green, respectively, I think). In that case you would need the exact opposite counterpart to this product: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-MUYHSFMM-Headset-Splitter-Adapter/dp/B0058DOWH6/

I don't see why not. You would have to plug one speaker into the right side and the other into the left side. If you purchase two units though, it would make better sense to plug all for speakers at once and sync both units together and than you have the 7.1 surround.

I am not positive. I would have to think there should be no reason why you could not configure your system in the way you have described. Because they are connected to your system by wired connections. You should be able to transmit out of both devices from the same sound source if your system has 2 outputs or by using a "Y" connector to split the sound.

I do not believe so. It just makes all the speakers operate in a fuller 2.1 arrangement. It costs quite a bit more for an adapter to use these speakers in nonsound card 5.1.

Since your Audio port supports audio and voice when you plug something into it, this feature of the headset becomes a disadvantage. To answer your question, you will not be able to use both microphone and audio at the same time unless you buy an audio jack that can support both pathways. You can also buy this off of Amazon. Here is a link for one that is fairly cheap and has what you need and nothing more to it: SYBA external USB Stereo Sound Adapter for Windows, Mac, Linux Extra Audio Source with Microphone SD-CM-UAUD I hope that you will look forward to using this if you buy it!

Hiya, this doesn't make sense entirely - the speaker is a passive speaker and will only produce the sound of what you send it. It has three speakers in it (Left-Center-Right) all in one cabinet, but it's not powered so it won't create two extra channels. Your 5.1 system will still be a 5.1 system. Well, assuming you have another 2 speakers and a sub....and a receiver.

Headsets are individually powered. I don't see why not. As long as you follow the linking procedures for both.

Yes. You can use a set of speakers on only "A", only "B", or both A&B; at the same time. Works very well.

Of course you can! If you are looking for a pair of headset, don't hesitate for this one! :D

Well the question is a bit confusing. I am not sure what you mean by work with these USB speakers, but yeah you can plug both of them into separate USB ports. Every time you want to use your headphones, you will need to change the audio device being used in settings manually or plug out the usb receiver for the speakers. Obviously I have never tried this myself so there might be driver conflict issues.
