I assume that you want the prople in the two seats to be able to listen to two
different sounds at the same time. Then certainly the easiest thing is to use
two sound cards. It would probably be possible by combining the two sounds
into one 4 channel sound to get different sounds to the two outputs, but it
would be a real kludge, and liable to breaking down, IMHO.
