[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 59449, member: 11550"] I'm saying this a lot today, but here goes :) I could be wrong, but this is my understanding, please correct me if I am wrong. DirectSound is kind of like an implementation of an API for sound. Same as for DirectX. The first option is your default DirectSound device as specified in Windows. The next option is regular Wave output. This is where the sync issues occur. I'm guessing because the code is optimised for DirectSound since that would be the easiest (best?) way to do it. Then you have the specific DirectSound device. If you have more than one sound card, then you would see them listed here. Theoretically, you could specify one device for TV and a different one for Music, etc. That won't help in ,multi room set ups at the moment, because there is no way to specify which device to use unless you are in set up but more importantly, you can't play music and TV at the same time anyway. Hope that covers it all properly. I've made it very basic so hopefully haven't left anything out that is too important :) [/QUOTE]
