I am able to get sound out of two jacks simultaneously on Windows 10, using the stereo mix. In my case, I can hear the audio out of the headphone jack on the PC and out of the HDMI that goes to the TV. I attached a pic of the settings I changed in Windows (below).
I do have a problem, though. It breaks when I leave the monitor off for a few hours. If I turn the monitor off and come back in 30 minutes, everything works fine--I get audio from both places. But if I leave it with the monitor off for two hours or over night, when I turn the monitor back on, I don't get any audio out of the HDMI. I don't let the PC go to sleep or hibernate--it's always on. The monitor and the other peripherals (like the amplifier) get turned off, though. When I turn the monitor back on, the headphone jack works but the HDMI doesn't. The only way I have found to get the HDMI audio back is to disable the device and then re-enable it.
The reason I want this set up is so I can keep listening to Kodi after I have switched the video display to another source (like a game console).
Any suggestions on how to keep the HDMI output working after I cycle power on the monitor would be appreciated.
