jim, headphones go usually through a normal jack which cuts out the speakers.
In this case I think there is a small card that routs stuff through 
the usb to the phones.
However since this is not how headphones usually go through, windows 
will not have the speakers cut.
Anyway with the cutting its hardware really.
Just aguess but its all drivers anyway.
If you changed in either sounds and audio devices if xp or multimedia 
in win 9x and lower the prefured devices tab, I forgot where that is, 
but if you selected that device with the pones on it as prefured and 
then told windows to only use prefured devices that would work, 
except the speakers would probably not work unless you changed this back.
THe drivers for the pones may have something that signals windows to 
cut the speaker volumes.
Failing that, if one jammed a headphone plug into the actual 
headphone jack that would physically cut the speakers.
If the headphones themselves or the box the card is in has its own 
jack, then I should think a small cheap headphone to headphone 
connecter cord could be used to wire betwene the jacks.
I have not usb phones but have 4 cords for different things.
1. semi good pair of phones and one ultra expensive good quality pair.
In addition if I really need the hacking abilities, i have a jack 
that goes from the phones to the secondary tape player port of the amp.
and I can plug stuff directly to that and hack with the controls, to 
the limits of the amp.
However the amp speakers are on the side so its not desirable for 
real fiddeling or aud sfx hacking as the speakers are in the wrong place.
I have also a powered set of speakers.
Unfortunately there is no phone jacks on those, so i can't have full 
4 speaker saround but oh well.
Now one thing I would like to know is how to stop my mikes wining.
If I have the laptop plugged in I seem at least with these techniks 
mikes headset to here a hum from the transformer through any 
headphones and speakers that are plugged in or even the internals.
If I unplug it goes away.
there isn't anything I can do to fix it hardware wise but is there a 
program that can filter it out in windows, if not in the ears 
and  then at least in my audio files.
