Configuring Multi-streaming Audio
The Realtek HD Sound Effect Manager software
allows you to listen to two different audio sources on
two different speaker sets.
For example, you hear one audio source through a
rear-panel speaker connection and a second source
through a front-panel headphone or speaker
connection. You must configure Multi-streaming
Audio for your system if you want to hear two audio
sources on separate speakers.
