HELP Enhance the sound systems of my rig for this experience.

[AvgWhiteGuy]

I was hoping someone here could help me sort out my little audio problem/desire, I've tried before to solve this and I'm not even sure where to start. It doesn't seem that difficult or complex ..... except to me :(

 

This is NOT a DCS issue; merely a request for you folks that have more experience in building and dialing in your own systems for the shear pleasure of better sound.

 

What I simply want to be able to do is drive the sound through the HDMI cable to the LCD Display (using it's build-in speakers) while simultaneously driving it out through the MOBO audio ports to an amplifier and/or speaker/mic headset.

 

Currently if I connect the speaker/mic headset (dual plus) to the Line Out port on the MOBO I get sound through the headset but all sound to the HDMI is silenced. One reason is to be able to take off the headset during refuel/rearm/repairs but still enjoy the 'environment' while I fetch a refreshing beverage and stretch my legs :)

 

I want to be able to use the Volume, Balance, Bass & Treble of the mini amplifier to provide a better sound quality for the various sources and still enjoy the 'in your face' sound from the monitor's speakers.

 

Ultimately I would like to be able to control the volume of all the various output devices even if that means I need some additional minor hardware adapter(s) .....but that for later if need be.

 

I have the following if this helps:

Asus B85-Pro Gamer MOBO 32G RAM

LG 34UM68 21:9 UltraWide® Full HD IPS LED Monitor

MSI GeForceGTX 1070 Video Card (this is badass!!)

Windows 10 64bit Pro O/S

 

I appreciate any help you folks can provide. I really don't understand all this audio stuff but willing to listen and learn.
