Hi All:
I am trying to get a multi-zone setup working with a new Delta 410 card using Media Center.
I have 2 independent zones setup in Media Center and they each work but only individually (not at the same time). If i start one zone then toggle to the other zone, the second zone toggled will not start playback. I get an error message "Error Starting Playback - Make sure your system has a valid sound playback device and that it is properly configured (double check output mode, output device and output bitdepth)" .
I am confused. Each zone works. I just cant get them to work at the same time. I use the ASIO drivers to the outputs 1/2 and 3/4 on the Delta card. I am playing WMA lossless files and thought that could be the problem. So i tried with a MP3 and still had the problem. I left my old creative sound card installed when i installed the Delta card. For now, i am using the creative card for Zone 2 and works fine. I am frustrated i cant get the Delta card to play nice with multi-zones. Any ideas?

Some ASIO drivers won't support multiple connections at once.
You'll probably need to use DirectSound or WaveOut for one of the zones.

Is one prefereable? Wavesound vs direct? i want to use the Delta connections for 4-5 zones.
