On the one side of my basement, I have a 60' plasma, 7.1 theater setup, powered by a Win 7 HTPC with an AMD A10-5800K, Biostar FM2 mobo and Asus Radeon HD 6670 for video. Then in the back I have a bar/lounge area and on the other side opposite the theater I have a workout room. Both the bar area and the workout room have a stereo pair of speakers that are connected to my Zone 2 on the receiver (Onkyo TXSR608) and the workout room has a small 32" TV as well.
At certain times, what I would like to be able to do is push the same audio to the entire basement all at once (big games, etc.), but I'm having a hard time getting it to work together. The main problem seems to be that my receiver will only take analog audio signal for Zone 2. Since I'm currently getting my audio from the HDMI on my video card (to push digital sound to the theater room), this will not play on Zone 2. The video splits fine, because the PC just sees two monitors which I can either set to be mirrored or separate. Just need to find a solution for the audio so that I can output digital sound to the theater room and analog into another input on the receiver to send to Zone 2 at the same time.
I know this is a bit complex, but I figured someone out there has had this problem before (and hopefully solved it). Thanks in advance for the help.
