multi-monitor peeps I need your help

[tviceman]

My main gaming PC is hooked up to our family TV via hdmi and also a catleap monitor via D-DVI. How can I configure my PC to separate the sound sources if, say, my wife is watching hulu on the tv and I am playing a game on the monitor?

With some sound software you can separate the sound. With VLC what you do is is something like this. Pardon me I run it in danish.

VLC -> Output module _> directx.

Try set that and you should be able to set the unit you wish for playback.

It works very well because I use it myself. IF you are unsure PM.

I'm 100% certain this works with ATI video cards (i'd assume Nvidia can do it as well). I used to do this all the time, just set the TV up as an extended desktop and drag the video over there. Then in whatever video player you use, go into the options and change the sound output device to whatever the HDMI out from your video card is.

Works great in MPC and VLC, for things like Hulu/Netflix/Youtube I don't know if you can do it with the website based streaming, you may have to use a frontend program like XBMC to be able to fine tune the audio settings.
