Hiya,
Please have a little patience with me - this question has been asked in quite a few ways, but I am not quite able to discern a full understanding of this subject: Audio output using multiple devices using Windows 7
I have a Zotac ZBOX HD-ID11 and am running Win 7 together with the latest Dharma nightly ....
I use HDMI sound to my SONY Bravia LCD telly for video's and the optical output for music and radio (via my amp).
Now - to have sound on the telly I need to select the SONY Bravia output device (either as WASAPI or Direct Sound) and when I listen to music I have to change this to the optical device ....
As this is rather tedious I looked into whether it was possible to have multiple audio outputs available (it is for other media devices) but struck NADA here
Seems that it is not possible with Win7 - however I am getting confused as it seems that a variety of Windows programs actually have this capability ??
So - could some good hearted soul tell me
Thanks for not flaming this
Cheers,
StoneT

So - could some good hearted soul tell me
- Is it possible - with my configuration - to enable multiple audio outputs ?
- If not - is it possible to change XBMC's Audio Device with a "single click" somehow instead of the tedious menu path ??
