Hi there

i'm looking for a way to outpout sound from programs to different audio devices 
here's an example : i want to plug my laptop to my tv with hdmi to watch a movie for my little sister and at the same time be able to watch videos from youtube that would output sound to my headphones.

If this can help i just bought a soundblaster usb sound card because my headphone broke inside of the jack and i can't remove it.

maybe it's easier to do it know that i have and external sound card but either way.

I know there is a functiun in windows 7 that lets you set a default device and another default device for comunication like skype but that doesn't help me in the case that i was talking about.

i want to know if it is pobbible to do it
