5.1 surround and headphones at the same time

[bombtrack]

ive seen a few threads about setting up speakers and headphones at the same time, and all of them use an empty audio port at the back of the pc

i dont have an empty slot, cus i used all of them for my 5.1 speakerset
the only slot ive got left is the headphones slot on the front but if i plug in haedphones there my front left and front right speakers are automatically disabled. how do i stop that from happening

i want to use my headphonesport the wire my pc to my tv and from there to my stereoset (i got all the equipment for it) so i have 10 speakers at the same time.
would kick *** if it worked
please help me

What Soundcard are you using? If you check any configuration applets for the Soundcard you "might" be able to disable the auto-mute if headphones detected (Creative offers such an option). Alternatively you could just use a splitter cable for the front speakers so you can have both headphones & front speaker output at the same time (Or at least without worrying about headphones muting the front channels)

dont really know what kind of soundcard it is.....supports 5.1 though
it was already build-in when i bought the pc

cant find any option in the program that came with the pc for audio (xear 3d audio configuration) either to stop the automute

isnt there just a simple plugin or program out there on the net to counter this effect?
