I there.
I use a second amp, in a separate room from my HTPC and it is connected to my second sound card output (one is 7.1 sound and the second output is stereo only).
When I watch anything which is encoded in anything other than stereo, no sound comes out of the second amp, which is exactly what I want (so that I don't get the front speaker sound from films playing out in the other room if I forget to turn the second amp off).
When I play mp3's from my music collection, the sound is stereo, so I can listen to it in the second room - perfect. However if I listen to the radio from either my DVB-S or DVB-T card, it is encoded with dolby surround sound, so does not play in through the second amp.
Is there anyway I can change this?
I know this is not an MP specific question, but was wondering if anyone else has the same problem and has solved it?
Thanks
