Windows 10: GSX 1000 main and coms audio issue

So on the GSX1000 there is a main audio channel and a coms audio channel (for discord, teamspeak etc), but windows will only allow sound to be output from 1 device at a time. How do I fix this?

I have owned the GSX 1000 since its release last year and I couldn't change it for anything! That is if gaming is your main focus when you sit at the PC. The 7.1 surround sound is the best i have heard, I have the unit paired with Philips Fidelio x1. I have tested I think all types of headphone surround sound to date and nothing to comes close to the GSX - Dolby headphone, Atmos Headphone, Razer, Soundblaster z my other sound card I own.

The great thing about the GSX is how it gets the raw audio from the GSX to work at its full potential the game must also support 7.1 Windows sees the GSX has a 7.1 unit, therefore games send that raw signal to the GSX where the Sennheiser Binaural Rendering Engine does its magic.

"Note image" You also get another device the communication device, this allows you to have Discord, or Teamspeak away from the games audio, you can higher and lower these chat programs without changing the games audio. Or the best feature about this is if you like to record games you can record each of these devices and have the chat and game audio separate.

Here some of my videos I did on the GSX "NOTE! You must use stereo for playback! And because how I had to record the GSX its audio quality is sadly effected so while watching these videos dont listen for quality but for the audio positional.

Having an optical out would defeat the purpose of getting the GSX 1000 in the first place. By using the optical out you'd simply make the sound card work as a "transport" - it would "forward" the audio signal to the next device in the audio chain. That next device would then convert it from digital to analogue (if it's only a DAC), amplify it (if it's DAC+amp) and play it on the speakers/headphones. In other words, by using the optical out you'd go around the sound card's own built-in DAC and amp. Paying a $230 to use any sound card merely as a transport would be pure madness.
