Will this device allow me to simultaneously play two different sources of music on my laptop? Ie, laptop output &amp; USB audio adapter at the same time?

Russ, The answer is NO and YES.....I used the Turtle Beach adaptor to stream digital audio into my home audio receiver and used my laptop to configure SKYPE to port SKYPE audio to the laptop speakers. I used the following USB audio driver in order to accomplish this: The current driver that I am using is: USB Sound Device (Generic USB Audio) Microsoft 7/12/2013 V 6.1.7601.18208. This driver will allow digital audio streaming from the Micro II adaptor into my home theatre system. This MAY or MAY NOT work with your PC as PC configurations are different along with laptop hardware. The laptop that I'm using is a Dell XPS M1330. If you are looking to stream digital audio from your PC/Laptop you may want to look at Behringer as their products have a much improved DAC chip for audio rather than Turtle Beach.

Yes it should work. One of my laptops also has two headphone inputs and one mic input, I just ignore the extra headphone input and it works fine, giving good stereo output. No need to convert it to a three-prong input at all.

If you mean use for example, an iPad to play music on both speaker sets at the same time, no. They will be on different frequencies and the source can only connect to one thing at a time.

I really doubt it.I don't believe the Tascam driver could handle two of these at the same time on two different USB ports. And then there is the Cubase software running on top of that.

You would have to have a separate audio cable. If your laptop has a mini (1/8") headphone out, you can use a mini to rca, or whatever your audio input would require.

So, I deleted my earlier post. Getting 2 audio sources to play simultaneously is actually pretty easy. The mixamp has a line in for spdif (optical) and your typical aux 3.5mm jack. I hooked my computer via spdif and my TV via aux. You'll get both AND be able to toggle the balance with the right earcup game/VoIP switch. (I initially thought it didn't work, as I was 100% to my computer source, hence my deleted answer. Don't make my mistake). I would recommend the spdif from your console and aux from your computer, you'll get better in game sound. The balance feature is really nice, and it is tailored to your exact needs.

Yes it does howerver I cant think of any reason why someone needs to listen to 2 audio outputs at the same time!

In one time, I have two USB sound cards, one integrated sound card on mother board, and a DAC. So yes, you just have to choose you playback device.

It works splitting my laptop audio with my headphones and powered amplifier with my audio equipment. The volume control on the splitter works well for the headphones.

Based on my expierence you'd only be able to use one output at a time depending on your operating system...once the USB is removed the sound goes back to the internal sound cardCJ

There are four individual +/- pairs of speaker terminals so all outputs are on at the same time, but you dont have to have four speakers connected for it to work. P.s. sd card reader and usb work but you cant skip around track order, then track names or numbers dont appear in the display, it just says sd or usb so it will play certain formats of tracks but not all and only in the order they appear in the list. So its basically like a one way playlist player. Usb outs are great I linked it to a 1000 watt outdoor pa setup, it worked well.

I have this paired simultaneously with my iPhone 5 and a Windows laptop, and can play audio from both at the same time. My phone's Bluetooth must be enabled, and the headphone must successfully connect to it first before my laptop will connect.

This is not really a splitter - it's a switch. If you want to drive the two separate receivers simultaneously from a single source, this is probably not the product you need. You could search for a/v splitters to find an appropriate product. If you want to choose which of the two receivers gets the phono preamp output at any particular time, it should work with no noticeable loss of sound quality.

Yes. Your computer will detect it as an external audio device and use it instead of the on-board sound card. I use mine as a second soundcard, I am a DJ and I need two soundcards operating at the same time to mix two beats.

No. Two input sources but only one output. I use this to direct my sirius XM radio or my Apple Airport Extreme (doing Airplay) to a pair of AudioEngine 2 speakers

Yes, I use both my laptop and my ipod...you just need the proper cable for the device you want to plug in. works great.

Hi it has only one output... its at the front as seen in the pic & its a mini stereo jack... Be mindful that this is an external sound card that gives a higher quality audio with eq options & should allow any output from your laptop or desktop.CJ
