I have a PC in my living room (HTPC) running Windows 7 Media Center. It has a Gigabyte motherboard and I am using the embedded audio. I have the analog audio output to a SONY TV and digital output to a Yamaha soundbar. In the Control Panel I can set one output or the other to be the default device and it works fine but then I usually have to restart Media Center to have it detect the changes.
So questions:
- Can I have the audio outputted to both devices simultaneously so I don't have to switch?
- If not, is there an easier way to switch outputs (ideally from my remote)?
- Is there a add-in soundcard that offers this option?
