David Pierce 1105688 Posted March 21, 2010 at 09:36 PM Posted March 21, 2010 at 09:36 PM Hi, Is it possible to configure mic and speakers so my friends and family could listen to both sides of conversation, both myself and ATC ? When I plug in my headset/mic it mutes the speakers so they cannot hear anything but me speaking to ATC. Dave Pierce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted March 21, 2010 at 09:43 PM Posted March 21, 2010 at 09:43 PM if you use squawkbox its pretty easy if you have dual sound card or USB headset. just have your comm2 go to your speakers then tune it. your comm1 will go to your headset and comm2 to your speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Pierce 1105688 Posted March 21, 2010 at 11:53 PM Author Posted March 21, 2010 at 11:53 PM Thanks Ernesto. I don't have squawkbox but your idea should work if I add another sound card shouldn't it? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Pierce 1105688 Posted March 22, 2010 at 10:21 AM Author Posted March 22, 2010 at 10:21 AM Thanks Christopher. Kind of looks like the consensus is to use Squawkbox. I'll look into it. Dave Pierce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wycliffe Barrett Posted March 22, 2010 at 12:20 PM Posted March 22, 2010 at 12:20 PM You can do what you require with FSinn also but what you need is to have a USB device (headset) and Windows Vista at least. Vista allows you to have two different sound outputs. There is no need for two sound cards. Thge other alternative is to plug your headset output through your speaker system, your friends wouldnt hear you comms over the speakers butthat wouldn't matter as they would be in the same room as you but they would hear pilots and other atc coming through the speakers. I used to this for along time before I got my usb headset.

Jonas Eberle Posted March 22, 2010 at 12:32 PM Posted March 22, 2010 at 12:32 PM Another alternative: http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.html . It is not freeware. I use it for splitting TeamSpeak and VATSIM voice to right and left on my headset, but it also allows to route VATSIM voice to several outputs. It is a software voice routing tool, so to say. Nice to hear that Vista supports multiple outputs by core. A feature that several sound servers in Linux (e.g. jackd, pulseaudio) have incorporated since years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Yngver Posted April 15, 2010 at 09:17 AM Posted April 15, 2010 at 09:17 AM The easiest is just to get a $3 splitter that allows you to connect the headphones and speakers simultaneously, that's what I did to get dual headsets as it works on the mic-plug too.
