Yup! There was an update not too long ago that allowed this... It's a little confusing to do, but it's pretty simple once you figure it out. Just go to your Wii U's system settings, go over to the TV settings, then tap on "TV Audio-Output Type". Then, if you've got the latest firmware update, there should be a little button in the upper-right corner of the screen that says "Output-Cable Setting". Tap on that, and then just choose "Non-HDMI" or "Both", depending on what you want. Nintendo could certainly make it a little more clear as to how to do this, but
whatever. Hope this helped!

Thanks for that tidbit of info! My settings must be set to output both. I will definitely change it later. Many companies wouldn't even bother updating for this feature, so I gotta give kudos to Nintendo for the update!

I think i'm all finally set for a Mario Kart 8 marathon! I specifically bought this console on day one for this game, so this is a very big deal for me. Not to mention, the audio tracks that they have composed are really outstanding, and definitely a game that deserves to be played with good quality audio equipment!

Has anyone tried connecting this controller to a pc? Youtube has a host of videos showing people connecting the official controller to pc's through unofficial software, so I was just curious if anyone has had similar luck with this one. 

 

In case you're wondering, my wii u and pc are hooked up to my living room display. I have wanted a "one size fits all" for quite some time now, and this seems to be the most economical solution!
