Hello...
I've been using MC for some time now, and am finally taking the plunge to setup a whole-house audio setup using it and NetRemote.
I'm having an issue with my MC PC...actually, with the onboard sound card (realtek AC'97, 5.1). I've been able to get my zones setup, using Direct Sound, and selecting the pair of outputs for each zone...no problem. The problem is that audio from the front pair of speakers (zone1) bleeds through to the other two zones.
I cannot seem to find any reason why it should be bleeding through...I've turned off all DSP settings, and disabled all processing by the AC97 driver...but still bleedthrough. Zone2 (rear left&right) and Zone3 (center&sub) play just fine as long as zone1 is not in operation.
Has anyone else run into this issue and have a solution? I'd really like to use all channels on this card if it's possible. Or is this just a function of the way that the realtek AC97 card works...?
I'm stumped...
