Two Headsets One Computer

Featured Replies

HelloThis may be more of a hardware question, but here goes. Is there anyway to get two headsets, plugged into something like a "Y" so both can listen to FS? What I want to do, is sit in front on my computer and fly FS9, SB and have another person (with an additional headset) be able to sit beside me and listen in?ThanksEd

Yes, you can get Y cables that will split out to two headphones although as the headphone output is now trying to power two headsets you will lose volume in each headset. Mixing two mic outputs to input into the computer may be a bit trickier though.If you're lucky and have a good look at the audio outputs of your computer (as well as the options of your audio control panel, many audio cards allow you to assign the function of each output in their control panel) you may find that you can assign two outputs as both headphone outputs. My PC has a front and rear audio panel and I can easily plug in two headphones to at least listen.

If you are using one of the onboard Realtek audio chips that are installed on a great many motherboards, you can re-map the audio jacks on the motherboard. Using this feature you can assign two of the jacks to the headphone out channel, and two to the mic-in channel (the onboard audio chip will mix the two inputs together).For details on reassigning the jacks (requires making registry settings) see my post here: Four-speaker output using onboard Realtek audioOtherwise, you can buy a cheap (~$30) 4-channel audio mixer to mix the mic inputs--just make sure it'll take a high (10-20 kOhm) impedance mic as an input.
