HI
I live in Johannesburg where we get horrendous thunderstorms almost daily in the summer which is stuff of fried motherboards etc
. As storms come we unplug all sensitive electronics, so we invested in a big UPS to give us 4-5 hrs of watching/listening.
I have my PC set up with USB output to the DAC and hence to the Amp etc , and the HDMI output to the TV , a Samsung Smart TV etc
My problem is that as I have it set up I get no audio through the TV via the HDMI link. I see in Control Panel>Sound several devices , Realtek Speakers , J River MC 20 etc , but selecting any of these still doesn't get sound.
In MC Options >Audio> Audio Device I have set to the DAC , which I assume is the problem , if I changed this to Realtek Speakers I suspect it will work
Has anybody any ideas how best to handle this , I was wondering about a Zone "TV Direct" or something set up , but how do I change this on an ad hoc basis , if I set up a rule for video only etc it will over ride the normal audio / video split I already have .
Under these circumstances I am watching video in Theatre View
Cheers
Mike
