Where are your headphones plugged into? It is possible to separate voice but you need to have two separate sound devices to do so. For example two soundcards or a soundcard and a USB headset. Please elaborate and we will continue this discussion later.

my speakers are plugged into the panel in the back and my headphones are plugged into the panel in the front, they are not usb headphones

You must have two separate sound devices to do what you want. The easist way to accomplish this would be to obtain an usb sound card and plug your headphones into it. An example would be: http://www.usbgear.com/computer_cable_deta...121%2C136%2C134The FSX sound configuration menu will allow you to assign voice to your headset device and other sounds to your PC sound device running your speakers. Hope this helps.

thanks im gonna make a short trip to best buy or future shop or whatever and pick one up :)

Buy a "USB" headset..Windows looks at this as a seperate sound device. I use the same ones that phone operators use. I think they are around 30-40 bucks up to 70 depending on what you want. I had the normal type usb headset, you know, stereo, headphone on each side, but found it muffled the other sounds being pumped out by the speakers because, duh.. both my ears were covered :( The phone type, one sided mono headphone is much better. I can still here FSX sounds from speakers, the wife telling me to stop playing around and take out the trash :( etc....Larry

I also have a Realtek soundchip (onboard) and can have independent sound channel on my headset. maybe it's possible for you too.If I remember correctly there's a setting to give an application unique control over the soundcard. That way, you can have independent sound output to speakers and headset.I am at work at the moment so cannot check now. I am using the latest driver (v2.27 I think).Allard

Go into Control Panel - Sounds and Audio Devices and see if your headset is listed. You can assign voice and audio from there. Then you should see it in FS.Vic

You don't need to do anything with your sound, keep your soundcard as the default device. Install the headphones into usb slot making sure it installs correctly, drivers, etc. Set your default Windows to your Realtek, Creative or whatever main soundcard you may own. If there is an option to detect headphones automatically, disable it. Launch FSX, go into sound options, look for the two dropdowns, set FSX sounds to main soundcard, set voice to USB headphones... all is good :)Larry
