Using optical SPDIF and 3.5mm at same time?

Is it possible? I'm running W7 and I always have to set one as default to get Windows to output to it... It will put one as a communications device, but really, I want to have some applications (like VLC) output to SPDIF to my receiver which is showing the video on my TV. And I want the 3.5mm to output from Windows and everything else to my PC speakers... I can not figure it out...
 
Hmm, I think you can... One of the video streams I'm watching not is a browser plugin though... don't think there is a way to set the sound device in a browser...
 
I wonder if there is some program that will allow you to select an audio device for any particular program running...
 
yeah, theres an edit button bro

that aside, its one audio device with digital and analog outputs, the S/PDIF output is very likely tied to the same I2S lines that feed the analog stages, VLC can be configured to "prefer" S/PDIF for DTS/AC-3 passthrough type applications, but it isn't an independent device in this configuration

to accomplish what you want, you'd need two separate audio devices, and then your "program that will allow you to select an audio device" is called your operating system and its audio subsystem, you'll then have to hand-tailor which applications use which device, and there will probably be some spooky nonsense with certain applications, although Windows 7 is generally more forgiving/flexible in this regard
