Switch to second sound card

(1/3) > >>

tpascaru:
Hello,

I am wondering if there is an easy way (plug-in, keyboard shortcut, etc), to switch between the two soundcards in my system? I have one of the soundcards connected to my stereo, and the other to my computer speakers. I can switch from the options menu, but would like something quicker that would let me toggle between the two.

Thanks!

Do you have your soundcards set up as separate zones in MC?  Once you do, switching gets to be considerably easier. 

Near the upper right corner in MC, look for the 3 small buttons to the left and under the search window.  If you Right-click the rightmost one (whose tooltip says "dsp studio (right click for options)), you'll get to the zone manager to set this up.  Then you can right-click here to switch zones on the fly.  The ointment in this fly is that each zone has its own playing now, so if you just want to bounce between soundcards it still isn't completely pain-free, but it's a lot closer.

Rob L:
you can also switch between zones with Ctrl-T

tpascaru:
Excellent! Thanks -- looks like it's time to upgrade from Media Jukebox :)

I have a similar setup as tpascaru. But whenever I switch (cntrl T) it goes silent. Why ?
