Alright, I have a pair of headphones that I use at night so I don't wake everyone in the building up, and during the day I normally have a set of 2.1 logitech speakers. Right now they are connected with a in-line Y to split the audio. But I'd like to hook up a second pair of 2.1 speakers behind me so I can have 4 channel sound during the day. I'm wondering if there is any software out there to have 4 channel on the speakers, and 2 channel out to my headphones without having to rewire/configure it every day.

well i would love the idea of having your headphones ready at all times without re-wire it. but beside 'front panel' and splitter i cannot think of other solution.
but if you have "connector retasking" in your sound device, it would be possible. one headphone jack, one front jack, one rear jack. when you switch to headphone just disable both of the speakers via option.

The connector retasking is exactly what I'm looking for. Except that unfortunately the Realtek/Asus software that came with the mobo doesn't do it. Right now I've got the headphones/front speakers hooked up with a Y to the primary sound, and the rear speakers to another. And I switch it back and forth between 2 and 4 channel via the Sound Manager. Which granted does work, but It'd be nice not having to go into the Control Panel every time.
