I think this might work;
I have never tried this, but I have a similar problem, I want to output to my headphones and speakers at the same time. Also apparently you could do this in Windows Xp, but Microsoft removed this in later versions of windows. My solution: Make your higher-quality source the default, then get a hub of some sort for that output, probably 10-15$ online, then get an adapter to what other source you use, and hook the other source up to the adapter, probably 5-10$ online, and hook up the other source to the adapter, and because it hooks up to the higher quality output, any loss in quality won't be very noticeable, then hook those up to their corresponding places. I'm not sure if this works, but please try it and reply. The other option would be to download/create a third party program, but don’t use Virtual Audio Cable, because I have heard it doesn’t work. I hope this works.
VAC doesn't work, and costs money.
