Here's what I do, my motherboard has a "line in jack" (my soundcard has one too) and with that I can use my smartphone and a male-male 3.5mm aux cable to hook it up to my computer so I now have sound going in. I then switch my device to "listen to" in the sound config panel but im just going to show you some pictures with arrows on that.

Edit: Headphone jacks may work also but tell me if I'm wrong.

It's a problem with Firefox and flash atm. It's causing just bad performance. 

oh okay, I don't get why firefox flash player always got issues, especially at videos higher than 1080p. It just won't play it right, while chrome peper based flash player works just fine :/

There is this really cool site I saw on reddit months back that basically takes youtube videos and streams the sound and will be a lot like Pandora/Spotify but free and really neat. Let me see if I can dig it up for ya.

Right click on the youtube video and make sure hardware acceleration is disabled

 

Edit: right click and go settings for flash player to be more specific, I found then that when it was enabled it would clock my gpu core clock to 500 and keep it there.

The point is that you get another devices sound feeding into your headset and you can still hear your game volume, another benefit is that you can change your music without having alt tab or exit your game.

Why on Earth does YouTube need hardware acceleration?

I have no earthly Idea, but flash player has a 'hardware acceleration option'. I guess its for lower end hardware?

I don't think it needs it, although I've never actually noticed it.
