Um guys i really didn't know where to post this, so i posted this on the General Hardware page of the forum.

I have an Alienware M14X R1, which has 3 audio ports on its left side - microphone and 2x audio out jacks.

When i try to plug in two different earphones/headphones to the audio out jacks, like while watching a movie with friend etc, only one of them works.
I went through the setting in the control panel, and found out that the audio out jacks work independently, and i will have to select one of them to provide output audio, like if i use one of the jacks, i cant use the other one, even if i want to play the same audio through both of them.

this actually defeats the purpose of having two audio output jacks, as whats the point of having two of them if you can only use one at a time?
please help me on this, if you have any software or tweak which can solve this issue, please help me.

thanks in advance!

ya that is only due to a lack of software. U could install a realtek audio software. It will work. It was even capable of transmitting audio through the microphone on my PC.

I don't think your method will works because the audio port will not support two headphone/speaker at a time streaming the same audio source.

Software/driver problem.
Uninstall the present driver and reinstall the latest driver which can be downloaded from their site.
