Did you check the devices to see if the default device has changed?

Re: computer noise and voice chat on same thing

I might be wrong, but I don't think it's possible to send audio output to different devices depending on the program(s) being used. Once you plug the headset in it just automatically sends all audio to them instead of your regular speakers.

It was just for that reason that the mic headset I bought for games and stuff don't have any earphones on them, it's just a mic (like an operator has) and it fits on your head like a headset, but the sound all still comes through the regular speakers. I wanted that so I could get the best of both worlds; be able to have a mic headset and still get the good sound from my good speakers, subwoofer, etc.

If you try to install a soundcard board into a slot and use the integrated soundcard at the same time, as soon as you plug the card into the slot, the integrated sound will be overridden, and your system will use the board instead. If you get 2 separate boards inserted into 2 different slots, I'm not sure. I've never really heard of anyone doing that. I don't see any way to select which sound device to use within the iTunes preferences though if you're planning on only trying it with iTunes and not another player.

Re: computer noise and voice chat on same thing

Make sure your default device is set to be your desktop speakers. Then in the settings someplace in xfire you should be able to set your input device to be your headset. I use vent for voice chat and vent allows me to choose where to send my vent sound. I can set it to default device or any other device connected to my pc. Even though there not usb it still may see it as a device in windows. At least this is how I do it with my pc and vent.
