How do I play my audio on two different devices at once?

Hey there guys,

I have a USB-Headset and some Speakers connected to my Soundcard.
By now I have to switch the default Playback-Device whenever I wanna put on my headset or use the speakers.
Is it possible just to output the Sound on both devices simultaniously and if it is, how can I do it?
To be clear, I dont want to output the Sound from one App on one device and the Sound of another on the other device, I want ALL Sounds that use the default Playback-Device to be played on both, Speaker and Headset.


Greetings

Plug a "Y" adapter into the speaker port and manually turn down the volume on the external speaker when you have to

or Y the headset port - which ever is easier

hmm... but the Headset is USB. (And the Speakers have a normal Klinke)
What Y-Adapter could there possibly be?

By design, Windows will only allow one default playback device. I've seen users claim they were able to get around it, but I've never been able to.

And maybe there is a software thats giving you a virtual device to use and splits it onto the other devices?

Does Virtual Audio Cable work on Win 8?

I use it everyday on Win 7. Winamp playing music throughout the house on one Virtual Device, and everything else: skype, browser, etc. through headset.

I was suggesting that to @Neokil. I don't have much access to a Win 8 machine.
