My HDMI I use is on my GFX card, I've tried the on board HDMI and SPDIF on the motherboard with same results. I have no headphone output.

Did a quick bit of googling and seen various threads on adjusting the volume of TTS (mostly from teamspeak/mumble forums) as many people do seem to want to increase or decrease the volume but windows has no individual volume control for it.
I can in VC or in Windows TTS settings each device select individually, and adjust for TTS. Music/Movie -> HDMI, and TTS -> S/PDIF or whatever I want.

Yes i can do that but my amp can't play sound from 2 separate inputs at the same time, i'd need 2 amps for that

Kalle, I think it is time for you to do some more shopping.  You don't have enough audio devices...  :biglaugh

Ok, I figured out how it can work. You need VAC (VirtualAudioCable). This program create virtual audiocards and can route the audiosignal to any device (output). If you will test it PM me  ;)
It can also route the TTS-Voice (when you want) to a specific channel from your S/PDIF-Output  ;D
You can take a look here for what the program can do.

I think that playing charades for a week is guaranteed to be fun, especially if we are drunk the whole time.

Talk about "off topic" !   sorry shango ;)

This is very cool.  Kalle, do you know if this works even when you are playing 5.1 digital direct to the receiver with DTS or AC3?  I thought that in this mode the stream was being sent "pure" and could not be modified.  If it does work does it replace the channel you choose, or mix the TTS into the existing audio for that channel?

I don't see how this could help shango though, the TTS will still be too quiet.

Yes, that is a cool thing, and a new feature to use it with home theatre systems. That is the same as the MS-Soundmapper, if you setup your speakersytem on PC (choose speaker headphone, stereo, 5.1 and so on), in there is a test button, which redirects the audio output to different channels (a voice said: "front left" - "front right" ....).
The settings in VAC is very easy,when you want the TTS-voice come out on a specific channel on your system (like, only at the front center box), you must set in VAC repeater channel settings to "custom" with " 1 channel" and mark the channel-checkbox "FC" to use the "front center" channel. VAC route the TTS-voice to this channel, when you have select in VAC a output that can use this channel (digital-output). I have this tested with stereo on my office pc (tts voice to left or right channel) and it works.
The TTS ouput in VC TTS-Settings ->advanced must set to Line1(VAC)

shango can use the separately volume control for VAC to adjust the tts voice volume. The tts volume from VAC ist very loud, so I must adjust the VAC volume to 15%  ;)

actually I think you sould set your sound output to a VAC line and then that would get routed.  I doubt it will raise the volume any higher though.

Might give it a try, it's not free though and it's not worth paying for just for that use.
