How do I use multiple audio outputs in Windows 10?

Double-click on the Wave Out Mix, Mono Mix or Stereo Mix entry and navigate to the Listen tab of the Properties dialog. Locate the Listen to this device checkbox and check it, and then open the Playback through this device dropdown menu and select your secondary audio output device from the menu.

Can you have two audio outputs?

Windows only lets you output audio to one device at a time. If you have more than one app playing audio, Windows will route the audio stream through the same audio device. It will do this even if you have two different audio devices enabled and there won’t be an option to output audio to two different devices.
