On my HTPC I have two sound cards - hdmi and analog.
I'm using hdmi with downmix to stereo and analog output 5.1 without downmix. For me is quite complicated goto system audio setup and change audio output and downmix option. Is there any possibility to change audio output setup with "one click" ? Like usage of any external script which will do it or any other way ?
Thanks

well while something is playing you can use the OSD audio setting and change it there otherwise no.

This should perhaps be in the request features section or whatever. Count me in though. My XBMC outputs to my TV via HDMI, but I'd like to have a "one click" way of switching to optical audio output when I want to use my digital receiver.

I would love a EASY way to switch from HDMI to analog line out on my ASRock and Zotac Mag!!!
I used the xci script to install XBMC! (too easy, Thanks!!!!)
The HDMI audio works fine... But getting audio out of the headphone/line out is another story...
Thanks for any input!!!

I'd love to quickly change audio output with keymap too.
So far I wasn't able to find any script for linux which would emulate keyboard presses so I could at least assign hotkey to that script.

"Switching" audio sources in the OSD doesn't really do anything. Go into settings and cycle through the output sinks. All it does is enable/disable the passthrough option. When you flip between HDMI and Optical/Coax it doesn't actually let you enter any different settings. Supposedly fixed in AudioEngine branch.
This is why I'm rocking the Dual Audio Patch.
Code:

IF you have a mysql problem, find one of the 4 dozen threads already open.
