Hi all, for the past year I've been using MC to run a music server for a 2 channel audio system (feeding a 2 channel DAC via a Mac Mini). I'm now integrating video and would like to feed the center channel audio to my TV's R/L speakers (an HDMI audio device) so that vocal clarity is increased while watching blu-rays.
I was roughly able to get this to work by creating a video source zone (playing audio through the 2-channel DAC) and then linking a second zone that used the TV audio device (with the R/L channels both replaced with the center channel audio). Unfortunately while this worked on the audio side, it also forced my computer to simultaneously generate two copies of the video, which ate up all the Mac's processing power and effectively killed the video.
So, my question is whether there's a way to only send the center channel audio to this second audio output without having MC also duplicate the video? Alternatively, could I create one zone with four audio channels and send two of them to one device (my DAC) and two of them to another (my TV)?
Thanks for any suggestions.
