How can i play songs in the speakers while playing a game? I want to hear only the game sound through the headset and the songs via speakers. Is there anyway to do it?

Some systems have a HARD SWITCH that kicks in when the headphones jack in. This means the answer will be no but I'll still the other software and hope.

Maybe it is, but what about that output tab?

It's possible this can't be done with what you have now. Why? It would require 2 sound cards. You may not have 2.
