Speakers and headphones play at the same time

Like the title says my speakers and headphones are playing at the same time. I went into the realtek audio control panel and changed some things but I could only get it to play through one or the other. By that I mean if I had it set to speakers the headphones wouldn't work at all and vice versa. Does anyone know what I can to do to fix this? Reinstall drivers?
Thanks

Virtual audio cables?? It will take some mapping out and configuring, but you can take your speaker/headphone output, and send it to two different outputs, say, USB for the speakers and analoge audio put for headphones. For example. VACs are great

Well that may seem stupid but did you check your default audio device in windows configuration ? I've had the same problem turned out windows set two different jack outputs for my xonar DX, it just wasn't setup for 7.1

Oh the irony - some people actually want this phenomena to occur but can't make it happen.

Has anyone actually done this with DAC?   the documentation doesn't actually say if it can and some actually says it can't drive two devices due to MME limitations in windows. 

 

 

If it doesn't work you'll need to find an audio splitter. Mind you it will have to be a good one or the SQ will suffer in your headphones. 

 

Maybe something like this:
