I have a Denon 1609 which supports 2 zone function but I'm unable to play my PC on both zones because Receiver does not support Digital for Zone 2.

I tried many different Realtek/Audio setting to get both Analog and digital audio to work to no avail.

I'm using XP Pro btw.

Question 1
Is there any way to enable both Analog and digital to play at the same time?

Question 2
If above is no, is there any Audio cards on the market that will do that?

TIA

Ok so I figured out how to work it. The only thing is, it does Analog to both, can't do Analog to Kitchen and keep living room in digital.

I don't think that will be an issue as I will not do both at the same time. When I watch it in living room I will enable DTS for better sound quality.

I think my original question still stands, would like to get it to work without switching audio options.
