[QUOTE="trepamuros, post: 1029394, member: 85204"] I'm very interested on this question. Currently, I'm using a "complex" workaround for this: - Using AutoHotKeys, I created a script which opens LAV settings, marks/unmakrs the DTS and passthrough stuff, close it, opens audio devices in W7 and selects wether the HDMI output or the SPDIF output. In fact there are two scripts, one for HDMI-output and another for SPDIF-output. - These scripts can be compiled easily into a couple of .exe files with ahk2exe (I think it's included in the AutoHotKeys download pack). - Having this, I placed the shortcuts on my W7 desktop so and I can launch any of them whenever, swapping between HDMI and SPDIF with a single keypress. - Finally, the hardest part: How to launch these executables from inside MP. Well, using MultiShortcut plugin for Media Portal, these executables can be converted on "real" MP plugins and of course can be launched from the menu, but MultiShortCut is now discontinued (I think) and it's a bit tricky to make it work on latest MP versions. Recently I discovered NIRCMD ([url]http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html[/url]), a small utility for Windows which can also be used for this purpose (at least, for the swapping audio device part). A simple command line can activate the audio device you want. Example: [B]NirCmd.exe setdefaultsounddevice "Speakers" [/B] Will activate Speakers as default audio device. I hope somebody could find an easier way to do this. [/QUOTE]
