Hello everyone,

I would like to connect 2 audio headsets to my computer.
I have a headset that is only connected via jack and a headset that is only connected via Bluetooth.
When I play a game, I prefer to use the headset, but the problem is that my partner would also like to hear it.

I would therefore like her to be able to use the wireless Bluetooth headset and me the one with a jack.

However, I can't seem to connect both at the same time. I can either switch to one or the other. How can I play sound on both headsets at the same time?

NB: My jack headset is plugged into the front of my tower in the headphone jack (I have a headphone and mic input).
My speakers are connected to the back of my tower via a simple jack (but I don't use them since when I plug in the headset they are disabled)
My second Bluetooth headset is connected via a Bluetooth transmitter plugged into a USB port on my tower.

Thank you in advance.

    Normal!

    Your computer considers your Jack headset and your Bluetooth headset to be two different audio lines.

    I recommend Virtual Audio Cable (you can usually find an older free version online).

    With Virtual Audio Cable, you have an "MMS Repeater" (All programs -> Virtual Audio Cable -> MMS Repeater)
    You select your headset in the first option and the Bluetooth headset in the second. Select Start, and normally you should hear both.

      Thank you for your help Greg, I downloaded the software, but I'm unable to get it to work.

      I launch the audio repeater, and I end up with a small interface that has:

      wave in
      Queue
      Wave out
      Queue

      and other settings.

      I have tried several combinations but I still have the sound playing through my jack headphones.

      Thanks in advance.

      Wave in > Your headset.
      Wave out > The other headset.

      Alright, I just understood, however in the wave in, my first headset is not found.
      However, it appears properly in the wave out.

      I need to be able to select my wired headset connected via jack in the wave in and my second one via Bluetooth in the wave out.
