[QUOTE="Mono, post: 213592, member: 62159"] Hi, I'm building a new PC soon, however I want to be able to use it both for traditional PC functions and HTPC functions. What I want to do is setup Mediaportal to load fullscreen in the second video display (my TV) and output all the sound through SPDIF (in the same fashion as XBMC does, where both 5.1 sources (DD, DTS, AAM) and 2.0 (DD, MP3) come out through SPDIF). However I also want to be able to have other applications (such as Media player classic, winamp, or VLC) to output normally, through the stereo jack. So basically when I use it in HTPC mode, it will play through my home theater, and in PC mode, my computer speakers. Do I need any special hardware for this? Can MP do it? Thanks Mono [/QUOTE]
