Is it possible to use two USB communication headset simultaneously on a Windows 7 PC? I seem to recall doing this once before, but I don't know how I got it to work. I googled the problem and some say it is possible and some say it's not. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have never tried, but because of how sound cards work I'd say no. If you have 2 sound cards than sure, and that is easy to have on Windows 7, but with one no.

Didn't think it would. 2 sound cards and you got it going.
If this is what you want, depending on the application, and I mean the reason for having 2, add a external sound card. You can run some program on one and the Windows main on the second.
Example, maybe I want Jaws and WinAmp on one, and the windows sound on the other this is possible.
