Ensure Windows 7 sends audio to two devices by adjusting settings or using audio drivers.
I've adjusted the audio setup you're using. The PC struggles to deliver consistent sound to both devices at once. After some experimentation, I managed to route the kitchen speakers for playback while using the main speakers for listening. This approach works but significantly impacts the audio quality, especially with the Companion 5 speakers now operating in a different mode.
I'm seeking advice on tools or methods that could let you use both speakers simultaneously without damaging your equipment. A hardware solution like a USB hub with a 3.5mm adapter seems possible, though I'm cautious about potential risks. The warranty concerns are valid—Bose's coverage might not extend to such issues.
