[QUOTE="druid9, post: 130892, member: 28347"] The zoned audio issue is more of a hardware matter than anything else AFAIK in my own case I have distributed audio across the house with independnet switching and volume controls, but allowing different tracks in different rooms is a problem. I am able to have different tracks playing in 2 zones via use of the kx driver for my SB Audigy soundcard. This allows me to direct audio from suitable players to particular ports on the card which is then distributed to the zones. I don't think Media Portal allows fo this internally. I use it for example to allow the kids to play games on the HTPC in one zone whilst my wife and I listen to music in another. I know that XLobby alllows for this by running multiple instances of Winamp - one for each zone. A google search for XLobby will find the forums and I think I recall a long thread there on the subject. An internal multi-zone feature in MP would be great, but don't think it is there yet.
