Have it set up to use internal audio when you're travelling, etc, but if you plug in a nicer external DAC, have a separate zone auto-take-over.

Actually, I don't think you need zone switch for that. If you plug in the DAC and choose it as sound device, when you unplug it, MC should just use internal without you doing anything. At least, that's the way it works on my computer. If I play something using the HT zone (which use the AMD HDMI audio device) when the equipment in the HT is turned off, it just plays using the default sound card. If I stop playback and turn on the HT reciever, it automatically switches to the HDMI again.

Of course, if you change other settings for the DAC, like output format, you would need Zone switch by hardware detected.

When my Win 7 HTPC was built I asked for an S/Pdif coax out to be added. Besides HDMI to my pre/pro, I want to be able to simultaneously send digital audio (coax) to my Meridian speakers (in the same room) or by simply switching an either/or switch in MC 18. Is this possible?

You can create two zones and link them so that simultaneous playback happens in each zone. Once the zones are linked you can right click the link and adjust the timing.

I have headphone outs on my Steinberg UR824. My kids have some headphones and want to use them. I use channels 11-18 for my room's audio, channels 1-2 for headphones 1, and channels 3-4 for headphones 2.

I currently use a Music and Movies zone. I've added a Headphone 1 & 2 zones. Zoneswitch automatically sends the content to Music or Movies.

I can't seem to figure out a manual way to send music or movies to the headphone zones. Send To doesn't work and neither does dragging the music to the zone. I can start in the zone, but then when I go to Audio or Video and make a selection it follows the Zoneswitch rules. Any suggestions?
