If this is a laptop you may not "Actually" have 2 output devices to perform this task. At least on my laptop there is just a little switch that detects the headset and swaps from speakers to headset and vice-versa.
If on the other hand you have a multichannel sound card you might be able to solve your problem by playing the speakers through the front channel and the headphones through a rear channel. Check out the section of the FAQ about using a multichannel sound card as multiple stereo sound cards. Matt Adna rim wrote: > Hi, > I'm new to pulseaudio and hope someone can help me.
