Michael, Winamp's output is configureable for alternate sound card or device from what your system defauls is. Check the menu in Winamp OPTIONS/PREFERENCES/SETUP/PLUG-INS/OUTPUT Double Clik on the Nullsoft waveOut plug-in The default device is WAV MAPPER. The dropdown menu allows selection of alternate devices. If you have 2 sound cards both should appear on the menu. I believe you must make sure your sounds cards are not sharing an interrupt. Good luck. I am interested in your results either way as i am working on something similar.
