Can you switch between headphone/headset and speaker line out while leaving both connected? Or does plugging in headphones just mute the speakers. I want a device that I can just leave everything connected and then toggle between devices.

@@JesseArt You can toggle between speakers and headphones by holding down the SXFI button. You can also toggle between speakers and headphones using a switch in the software suite. When the headphones are unplugged, the device will automatically switch to speakers if there are speakers plugged in.

Really great video, well explained, thank you very much!

Can you do this with x4 too?

Quick tip because from Soundblaster's site is false advertised. You DON'T need to have a Y splitter for your headset (headphone + microphone in the same jack). The right front jack can handle both headset and headphones with 4 pole jacks

That is correct. You do not need a Y splitter and it may cause confusion. Although it is kinda nice to not have to buy a Y splitter and still be able to plug in an external 3.5 mm microphone. An XLR mic or a USB mic would work better than any 3.5 mm mic though.

You can leave both (headphone and LineOut) connected and switch with holding down the SXFI button. Spdif works always with the line out. If you use your headphone the spdif and the lineout get muted.

@Prism_JTN

I don't believe you can. Anything you can plug into the product you can manage. That means that XLR microphones and usb nicrophones won't be managed through the DAC. You can only manage a microphone with a 3.5 mm headphone jack connection or a mic/audio combo jack. If you have an XLR or a usb microphone, like say a Blue Yeti, you will have to manage that device separately. Most likely you will need to set that microphone as your default mic input in windows.

I have problems with sound volume, which is weird and annoying. I have windows 10 Education and when I raise or lower the volume it takes 2 or 3 sec. but after that, it goes too much up or low. I installed volume2, it worked at first then the second day it didn't work. Does anyone have this problem? Another problem is that it doesn't work on 5.1 surround speakers (I could hear the sound in only 2 front speakers) but I fixed it by installing Boom 3d software but that shouldn't happen. Any help?

You would need an adapter to split the wire coming out of your headset into two cables, one for mic and one for headphones. Search for "headset splitter cable," look for one female end and two male ends. You'll plug your headset into the female end, and plug the male ends into the front of the x3, and you should be good to go.
