[QUOTE="Redleg, post: 618030, member: 104504"] Hi, First post. I am looking to install MediaPortal on my current office PC (Q6600 CPU and soon to upgrade OS to Win7-64 bit). The plan is to replace the current graphics card with an ATI HD5450 and run a HDMI cable through the wall to my AV receiver (Denon AVR-2809) in the lounge room next to the office. When I run MediaPortal on the PC, I want the video and audio to be sent to the HDMI port on the graphics card, but for normal office use, I want non-MediaPortal audio to be presented to my PC speakers. I can't see how Windows allows you to associate an application with a specific audio "port" - it seem to leave this to the application. I was thinking that I would: Set default audio to my PC speakers, Use screenselector to choose on which screen MP should start (ie the device connect to the HDMI port). My question is: with this arrangement, will the MP audio also be directed to the HDMI port along with the video. Also, feel free to comment on the suitability of this graphics card - I believe it does DTS passthrough or bitstream. Cheers, Redleg [/QUOTE]
