2 sound sources. 2 speakers, 1 pc will this work ?

WarWitch

Hi, thanks in advance.

I would like to play net music (youtube, Spotify) through my room sound speakers using an amplified-powered 5.1 sound system and speakers using a USB external sound card. I was thinking about getting the USB external sound card from the same company, but I am afraid of conflicts on the same pc.

At the same time that I play my games sound through my pc sounds card, a sound blaster. 

1. Will this work? 
2. Will it work better with a different company's sound card?

Wait don't order it won't work.....jk I am in one of those moods.  I do something similar and it works fine for me.  My set up is very similar to the guide above.  No needs for repeats, good luck and enjoy it!

It sounds like you're planning to have two sets of sound sources and speakers connected to your PC. It should work, but you might need to manage the audio settings on your computer to avoid conflicts. Using a USB external sound card for net music is a good idea, and getting one from the same company as your amplified-powered 5.1 sound system could reduce compatibility issues. However, you should be able to play game sounds through your PC sound card simultaneously. Just ensure that you configure the audio settings properly to route the different sources to their respective outputs. Regarding Install Spotify on MacBook, you can easily install it by visiting the official Spotify website or using the Mac App Store. Download and install the Spotify app, and you'll be able to enjoy music seamlessly.
