;) Sure, I know that.

I found this post https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=102475.0 on this forum.  Point #2 is what has been causing me agita.  The client devices will output over HDMI to my pre/pro or AVR, so those would be my audio devices, right?  Is there still some reason why my unRAID server/VM box needs an "audio device?"

mattkhan:
If the server never plays anything directly then no need for an audio device.

Thanks, I will re-read the Interact post on the subject and merge that with what I can glean from the unRAID community.
