I have two A/V setups connected to my HTPC using a HDMI-switch and S/PDIF...
Room 1: DLP projector (HDMI) and surround reciever (S/PDIF)
Room 2: LCD TV (HDMI)

My former TViX box had no problem sending audio out over both HDMI and S/PDIF simultaneously. But this seems to be much tougher to achieve using xbmc? I can switch manually in xbmc but there are quite a few settings that must be changed (4 or 5 each time I believe, and sometimes xbmc must be restarted).

First choice would be to always output to both. Can that be done?
Second choice to make it easier to switch between the two outputs. Any tips? (addon or script maybe?)

The HTPC is running xbmc 10.0 and Windows 7 x64.

1 - yes it can be done by running the dual audio patch version. Search the forums
2 - make two profiles which differ only in the audio output but further share all the media and other settings, then you can login into the one you need.

Thank you for the reply. I did search but didn't find the post you're referring to. Could it be this one?
[PATCH] Dual Audio Output support for XBMC
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=86038

I guess I searched for both HDMI and S/PDIF, and this post doesn't seem to mention HDMI. Do you know if that will work too? It does look promising Will test it tonight!

EDIT: Tested and works great!! I'm now able to simultaneously output both 2ch stereo over HDMI to my TV and 5.1ch over S/PDIF to my reciever. No more manual switching This patch should be included into xbmc by default!
