Mame sound on different audio source

[vdoggie]

Hi I know this is less related to GameEX but is there a way to force audio to be played through a second audio card for both GameEX and Mame and or any of the other emulators? I would assume the application has to support it meaning every emu would have it's own configuration if it supported this.. I'm trying to do this because I have a PC hooked up to my Jukebox and want to route all my sound that would be played via gameex front end to a different audio source, hence separating the sound.

Can't you loop it from the out on card #1 into the in on card #2? Shouldn't be a big deal really.

I know it could be done back in the good ol' DOS days when you could directly assign the IRQs to the cards and, if the program supported redirect from system default to that card at that address, it was no issue at all.

No because then I would still be getting sound from any other application running that is using sound from the on-board audio.

yes this is kind of what I was looking for.. also I wonder does GAMEEX support this function. I wanted this because I have a touch screen jukebox which I would be running the audio from the mobo but I want gameex and mame to run the audio seperately from a pci sound card add-on. I wonder how a virtual system would handle this.... it might actually work.. although might have issues with forcing the video to a second monitor..

any ideas people?? I REALLY don't want to have to run another PC for this..

Are you trying to get the jukebox to play on its own sound card (everything else plays on a second card)? If so, wouldn't it be easiest to set the jukebox software to play on a specific card rather than configuring everything else? The default would be the Windows audio driver (whatever that's called). The audio software should be able to let you pick a second card/output (well, it's more likely to have that setting than emulators). I believe WinAmp has this setting available (as do most others) so you can output to a internet stream for instance.
