I'm considering getting the D34010WYK for my HTPC to replace my ATV1. I want to have 5.1 audio on the HDMI jack and stereo output on the headphone jack at the same time. My receiver only takes analog input for Zone 2 and I don't want to have to change audio devices in XBMC each time. Both connections will connect through my Onkyo receiver. I currently do this on my ATV1 with CB2.
So in XBMC Audio setup:
Audio Output= HDMI
Speaker configuration=5.1
Audio output device = HDMI Output (whatever the device name is)-don't want to have to change this to Analog Audio Device
Passthrough output device= HDMI Output (whatever the device name is)
So when playing Music I would get sound from the HDMI and Stereo output. When playing Movies I would get HDMI 5.1 output.
I sometimes listen to Music with the receiver and TV on so I need audio through the HDMI. Other times I listen to Music only with Zone 2 on my receiver and the TV off. I know some sound boards provide simultaneous support for 5.1 channel sound playback, plus 2 channels of independent stereo sound output (multiple streaming) through the front panel stereo output.
Does anyone know if this is possible? Could someone test?
I would use either Windows 7 or Linux Mint as OS.
