Title: Problem with link zone
Post by: konst on January 15, 2014, 05:17:24 am

Hi,

When I play an audio- file in Foobar 2000 and select in Preferences - Playback - Output - Asio: JRiver Media Center 19, in JRiver Media Center everything plays OK in one zone. But when I link 2 zones for 2 audio cards, only 1 zone begins to work in link. Why is it happened?

Thank you.

Foobar 2000? not sure I follow you. Are you running jriver AND foobar together? Shouldn't do that.

Or do you mean it works on Foobar linking two zones but not JRiver?

Assuming the later and a typo, you are referring to two separate computers running different audio cards? If so probably just a config issue in Media Network.

If you are trying to run two separate audio cards (so 2dacs?) on the same computer -- that's a different story. Synchronizing two dac's clocks?

Maybe you could give some more details, please?

maybe this is the (negative) answer?

My interpretation is that he's using Foobar to browse music and then send the music to MC as a target renderer via ASIO, but MC then can't replicate that stream to a second, linked zone.

robydago is right. You can't use the JRiver ASIO input to output to linked zones. This is not likely to change anytime soon.
