Hello, I have kind of a unique problem. I setup the audio server to enable my headphone jack in the front to work as well as the rear jack (Line-out). This is on a dell mini desktop. Unfortunately, it seems that the driver is designed to auto-mute either output when one is in use (i.e. when the headphone jack is plugged into the front, the rear jack mutes). The only problem is, I don't want this. I want both jacks pushing out audio, because I have a subwoofer that has a regular headphone jack (it's loud and awesome combined with my computer speakers). Is it possible to disable this mute feature or trick it in some way so I don't have to buy an audio splitter?
