I use a 7.1 soundblaster platium fatality ,you have to have the sc in a multi channel mode ,

4/4.1,, 5/5.1

the asio will see all the channels avaible, by routing the main out put to one pair of speakers,sc output, and having a second set of speakers outputs routed thru asio4all to the monitor sc/cue, then you will have to determine which speaker output from the back of the computer is getting the signal. thats where you plug in your headphone for monitoring,

have used a multi channel sc by itself and have also used the same card and added a second sc to the audio setup to play the headphones thru, so that i can keep the 7.1surround hooked up,

ther are a few posting on sc set up for multi channell sc and also having two sc installed with asio4all

it can be done

also the issue with the headphone increasing in soundis because the auido card is routing the cue siginal to the headphones also with the main, have the same thing on mine, except i use the headphone output to play the speakers in my monitor
