Hi There,
is it possible, to tell XBMC to use different Audio Output devices for movie and for music?
e.G.:
In the generall settings i can tell XBMC to route Audio over HDMI.
But I only want this for Movies, because I don't want to switch on the TV for just listening to audio - and because of my Hardware setup every thing over HDMI goes to the TV and then to the sourround equipment...
And now, I want to use optical out or analoge out direclty to my amplifier and tell xbmc to use this output only for music...
Is there any way to do this?
cheers,
bigcheese

Ooooh this is very much relevant to my interests.
I would love to be able to specify different audio outputs depending on media type.

why not setup this way- htpc/xbmc>avr>hdtv. you can leave hdtv off when listen to music, and you'll get the best aq this way too.

Thanks for all your suggestions...
However this id only a compromis not a best suiting solution for me...
The best way would be to say in xbmc to use different output device.

Yes, I am looking for this too. In my case I have my HTPC connected via HDMI, but my amp will not output audio out zone 2 unless it is optical/coax/analog. I would love to find a way to use both analog and HDMI at the same time so I can pipe the music to my patio.

Most amps have a pre-out FR/FL that you then patch into your Zone 2 FR/FL.
System: XBMC HTPC with HDMI WASAPI & AudioEngine - Denon AVR-3808CI - Denon DVD-5900 Universal Player - Denon DCM-27 CD-Changer
- Sony BDP-S580 Blu-Ray - X-Box 360 - Android tablet wireless remote - 7.1 Streem/Axiom/Velodyne Surround System
If I have been able to help feel free to add to my reputation +/- below - thanks!
