Hey, is there any way to have the audio in Win7 go to the HDMI and the speaker jack at the same time? I can't seem to find a way to do it in the control panel. Thanks!

Not that I know of. Good luck. :/

(a quick google suggests that some programs may be able to support this, namely VLC)

I dont think the drivers on most on-board sound chips support multi-out

The issue isn't the drivers supporting multi-out, but rather that win7 only supports using one output audio device at a time. I'm assuming Banacek has audio out through HDMI with an ATI card? I've got the same, and the issue is that the card has it's own audio chip on it, so it's a separate sound device. There's some kind of... Ah, here we are, Virtual Audio Cable (http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm). Haven't actually used it myself, but it might be a solution.

I HAVE used Virtual Audio Cable before, and I believe it should work.

Yeah, I have an ATI card so there are two audio drivers. I'm going to try Virtual Audio Cable. Thanks!
