Playing audio on multiple devices simultaneously can be a bit tricky, but with Windows 10, it’s a fairly simple process. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps required to output audio to multiple devices on your computer.

First, you need to right-click on the speaker icon at the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. If you can’t see the option to do so, then click on the search bar and type “sound,” then click on “sound settings.” This will take you to the sound control panel, where you need to click on “recording.”

On this page, you may not see the “disabled device” option. If that’s the case, right-click on an empty space within the window, and choose “show disabled devices.” Then, you should see an option named “way out mix,” “monomix,” or “stereo mix.” If you see different options, you can use them. Right-click on the option you prefer and click “enable.”

Next, you need to double-click on the option you just enabled, or right-click and choose “properties.” This will take you to the stereo mix properties window. From here, click on “listen,” and check the box that says, “listen to this device.” Under “playback through this device,” you can select the options you want to use, such as your computer’s speaker or your headphone.

Finally, if you go to “advanced,” you can uncheck the box so that the audio does not interfere with other devices like Skype or other applications.

That’s it! With these simple steps, you can output audio to multiple devices on your computer and enjoy your favorite music or videos on more than one set of speakers at once.

FAQ

Can you use two sets of speakers at the same time?
Most of the speaker brands will let you alternate between playing the same audio on both speakers at once, and some will let you use them to create a surround sound system. Models that offer a stereo sound option will split up the left and right channels and play distinct audio on each.
