Hello all, my PC outputs sound both via HDMI and SPDIF. I've got a DAC i feed via SPDIF to listen to stereo music and a receiver i feed via HDMI for movies. Does anyone have a suggestion for the best way to configure JRiver for my set up? I've been playing around with zones and have a zone called music allocated to SPDIF via output mode settings and another called movies allocated to HDMI via output mode settings. Is there a way to allocate all of my music files to play in the music zone and my movies in the movie zone? Cheers. John

Not that I am aware of and if memory serves me correctly a play to zone tag feature has been asked for by a few people.
I would also find such a feature very useful. HDMI (Receiver 1 A/V), SPDIF (Receiver 2 Audio only), and analog (computer speakers).

Rather than using zones for this, how about using a "Custom" video setting with HDMI output.  Leave the SPDIF as the default in MC.

I do this very thing to great effect.

Good luck!
Patrick

thanks for your replies. Patrick, would it be possible to give some more details on how you've set up? Cheers. John

Options > Video > Video Mode > Advanced > Custom

Then go down to Custom Video Setting.

There you can configure what audio device you want to use for audio amongst other settings I have never messed with.
