Is there a simple/inexpensive way to have separate audio to each monitor in a dual monitor setup? A particular soundcard maybe?

Re: Dual monitors with their own audio
Add a second sound card. You shouldn't have to do anything with windows other then driver install. But if you do, tell windows which is the primary sound card for the system which would be the one that was already existing in the rig.
Then whatever application you use, see if you can set the second sound card as it's default.
In linux you can easily tell applications to use whatever sound device. -

Use a headphones splitter?Comment

Re: Dual monitors with their own audio
If the monitors receive the signal through HDMI or maybe DVI (not all monitors and not all cards pass sound through DVI, the amd cards do), each monitor will create a sound card device in windows.
So you can configure one application to use a sound card or another.
If you use regular analogue cables to connect the monitor speakers, then you need either two sound cards or a sound card that has independent outputs.
For example M-Audio 2496 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829121120) has (besides 5.1 optical out) 4 mono inputs and 4 mono outputs and I think (but I'm not 100% sure) you can group them into 2 stereo outputs that appear as two separate sound cards within Windows.
What you can't do (easily) is have applications switch to one sound card when you drag their window onto one monitor or something like that.
I think there is software out there like Sinergy (http://synergy-foss.org/) but that can also capture the sound and transfer it to a particular monitor but I don't know any in particular.Last edited by mariushm; 12-12-2011, 07:13 PM.Comment

Re: Dual monitors with their own audio
That's more or less what I would like to achieve.
The card you linked wouldn't do the job, neither would Sinergy, but thanks for the links.
My card has DisplayPort and Dual Link DVI-I outputs so there should be no problem with that. I will keep searching, maybe there's a solution somewhere out there.
As for a headphone splitter...? Not quite what I had in mind, but good to see you using your noggin shovey

The Problem: This player has a toggle switch to select between Stereo, Mono R, and Mono L. Regardless of the setting it outputs the sound to both the L&R audio jacks. In the Mono R position, the audio output level is normal (from both the L and R audio output jacks), in the Stereo position the audio output is about half the volume, and in Mono L, it's about 3/4 the volume. Something about putting it into Stereo mode is causing the volume to drop significantly and I can't figure it out.
The player processes the audio signal using two different reference frequencies. The "R"... -
Hi
Im hoping someone might be able to give me some idea of what may be wrong with my Monitor Audio RSW12 Sub.
Ive owned it since new in around 2002, so would really like to keep it running if I can, it was the first ‘decent' bit of audio equipment I ever purchased and is a little sentimental.
The issue I had was that it would power up with the red light, but sometimes the green light would not come on and I would get no bass from it. If the green light did come on though, I would get sound out of it.
