Here is my scenario, I have a distributed system where all my components are in a rack. I use a control4 for gui/audio switching and a concord matrix 8X8 switch to share/distribute all components in the rack on any TV in the house. I have two Dedicated home theatre TV"s that have the digital out from the pc's sound card going to the AMP where digital sound is decoded without a problem. I have the Analog jack from the PC going to the rest of the analog TV's. When I first installed XBMC on XP it worked just fine and then all of a sudden it stopped working. I just upgraded to Windows 7 yesterday and installed the latest realtek driver hoping that would solve it and still no downmixing for analog sound.
Does windows prevent both an analog and digital signal going through the sound card at the same time?
In order for sound to work I always have to manually switch xbmc to analog or digital depending on the TV I am watching or what I am watching or listening too. After upgrading to the latest Beta release/Windows 7 I also have to make one more change to select audio driver with speakers.
My HTPC is the following
NVidia 790 SLI MB with 8-channel HD audio via Realtek ALC888S codec
Windows 7
XBMC B1
I have tried changing just about every combination in the realtek driver app with no success. It have tried all builds of XBMC without success. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If a debug log is required let me know and I will gladly upload one
Thanks
