Headphones & Speakers simultaneously

[lkaemingk]

Hello,
I'm hard of hearing and our TV sound isn't the greatest, so I struggle to hear what's being said when watching shows. I enjoy using headphones, but that only works when I'm not watching with my wife.

I use my laptop with HDMI output to the TV. It seems I can choose to either run sound through the headphones or the HDMI cable, but not both. Is there any way to run both sound outputs simultaneously?

I have WIndows 7 with smart audio...

Thanks!

Ok normally this depends on the sound driver. Try downloading the latest driver for you laptop and check if it works, if not come back.

Any luck on this?
