plugin your headset
open your volume mixer and just put the settings sounds via the speakers. i think it automatically changed to your headset, so you have to switch it back manually
i dont have a usb headset , i got the old one with the sound / microphone plugin , just change the settings in skype / ventrilo manually
for skype go actions > options > audio settings > loudspeaker > Headphones
for vent go setup > voice > output device > headphones
i got windows 7 too. if it doesnt work just shoot me a pm
