Basically, I have a 3.5mm jack splitter that splits the one port on my MOBO and lets it connect to both my HyperX Cloud Stinger headset, and my speakers. however, when I change the volume on the headset, it somehow alters the volume of the speakers. how can this happen, and how can I fix it?

If I'm wrong, please point it out. I'm always learning & I won't bite.

It's not. i checked.

as far as I can tell, what the volume slider on my headphones does is amplify the audio using it's own AMP. maybe something to do with impedance or something?

No , I impedance has do do with the physical drivers for the headphones . it wouldn't effect the speakers.
