Windows 7 Help Needed: Simultaneous Sound Output from Analog and Digital Devices in Windows

To configure your sound settings to output audio to both your analog output (Z-4 system) and your home cinema simultaneously, you can try the following steps in Windows: 1. Enable Stereo Mix: - Right-click on the speaker icon in the system tray and select "Sounds." - Go to the "Recording" tab. - Right-click on an empty area and make sure to check the boxes next to "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show Disconnected Devices." - Look for "Stereo Mix" or "Wave Out Mix" and enable it. 2. Set Playback Devices: - Right-click on the speaker icon in the system tray and select "Open Sound settings." - Under the "Sound" settings, go to the "Sound Control Panel." - In the "Playback" tab, you should be able to set up both the analog and digital outputs as active devices. 3. Configure Playback Devices: - Select both the analog output and the digital output and set one of them as the default device. - You might need to adjust the volume levels for each device to balance the sound output. By setting up Stereo Mix and configuring multiple playback devices in the Sound settings, you should be able to output audio to both your Z-4 system (analog output) and your home cinema (digital output) simultaneously. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, feel free to provide more details about your system or the version of Windows you are using for more specific guidance.
