Hi Mathew! I'm not sure about exactly model of Creative Audigy you're using but you should have one item in the Control panel called Audio HQ or Audio console. Somewhere in there you'll should find the "Headphone" tab and right on this tab there should be a checkbox saying "Mute speakers when connecting headphones" which should be unchecked for your needs. This option refers to Audigy cards which have an additional console, connected via external cable or built in in 5.25 slot on the desktop tower.
