VC over networked reciever

[rsmed1]

I have a pc running windows 8 for my server which has voxcommando installed.  Is it possible to have the voice output from vox to be heard through my networked Denon AVR's speakers?

Yes just plug the audio output from your computer into the audio input of your receiver.  You can use optical, hdmi, or RCA connections.

Maybe you need to explain in more detail what you mean though...

Well, the server is upstairs and the receiver is downstairs...but they are networked (meaning, I can access the receiver from the pc).  Wasn't sure how to do it since the pc and receiver are not close to each other.

So you don't have any PCs directly connected to the receiver?

It sounds like you want to send the audio via DLNA.  VoxCommando can't do that directly but maybe you can do it some other way.

You either need a program that can stream "what you hear on your PC" to your DLNA enabled receiver, or if you are using something like MediaMonkey or JRiver that is already doing this, then you can save your TTS as a wav and ask your media player to stream the wav to your receiver.  VoxCommando already has an action for saving TTS to wav file so you just need to add the action to play it using a DLNA media player

Thanks for giving me a direction to go in.  I was drawing a blank with how to do something like this.
