Multiple Sound Outputs

I've recently bought a new Mac Pro - v nice. However I have a simple problem. I want to simultaneously output sound from the Digital Output and Line Out. (The computer is wired to play music around the house). My old 2003 G5 did this no problem. I've looked into setting up an aggregate device in Audi MIDI Setup but that still only seems me let have one audio output source. Anyone else got this problem? Solutions appreciated.

Thanks

With Audio Hijack Pro

you can hijack the audio from one application and use the Auxiliary Device Output effect to send the audio to different output devices.

I have my MBA running audio out and USB out now, both are sending left and right info, how ever the USB sounds much better running into my peachtree audio amp. I used the aggregate device and added both outputs. The only problem that I run into is that I have to restart iTunes everyday to get the USB audio out to show up, but other then that it works great.


I found the Audio MIDI Setup as below;


-Finder

-Applications

-Utilities

-Audio MIDI Setup


Then you just click the + on the bottom right and select aggregate device and check the audio levels for each one.
