Hi all,
I was wondering how do i listen to music while i play sc2, by that i mean listening to both sc2 sound and the music through my headphones. Once i turn on sc2 the sound automatically plays through my stereo instead of my headphones. Does anybody know how to set the settings so i can listen to both? Thank you, much appreciated

Options -> Sound -> Setup -> Select headphones for output?

Open browser or itunes or whatever => load song (or playlist) you want => tab back into sc2, or open sc2 => start a game...?

This, you may even have togo as far as te systems tray and reassign sounds so it defaults it to headset instead of stereo. I had to do that when I started usin' a headset again, takes a few minutes of messin' around to get it set up. But your case might simply be solved by the quoted directions.

Try the other headphone jack. I have two, but for whatever reason only one of them works.

i listen to youtube while playing. when i first plug in headsets, it stays on stereo, but when it switches the song it goes to my headset. you should ask in the tech support thread, not sc2 general.

Strange, mine just goes to my headphones if it's plugged in.

You need to check the default setting in both the sound setting in your system tray, and starcraft. You might have starcraft set on a default while the rest of the sound may be set on another channel. just double check that both starcraft, the program you are using for your music and the system tray software are all using the same device. i hope that helps.

Come on. This is a simple operating system problem, not a teamliquid problem. I'm sure Google can solve this.
