Windows 7 sound output through HDMI and Speaker at the same time

audiohdmisound cardspeakerswindows 7

I would like to output the audio of a game through HDMI and through speakers at the same time.

I can only setup one default device. A solution I often find on the internet is using Wave Stereo Mix or something similar. My soundcard / soundcard driver does not support something like that.

I have heard that virtual audio cable should solve the problem, and I tried the trial version, but I have no clue how to set this up.

The reason for all this is (If someone is interested): I stream on sites like twitch.tv and use a dedicated streaming system with an avermedia USB3 capture device using HDMI. I can flawlessly mirror the image, but the sound is either going to my gaming headset or to my HDMI device. Both at the same time are not possible.

Thank you for your help.

As far as I know, windows does not support this feature. You'd have to have 2 physical sound cards to be able to do such a thing or, if you have a decent one, the option sometimes hides in the driver itself.
