Hi,

Is it possible to use my sound card for everything but WMC? Like I want to use my speakers(sound card) for music, gaming, everything else, BESIDES Windows Media Center. I would like to use my hdmi(TV) for wmc. is this possible, i tried going to playback devices and i can only set one option as default.
 
Solution
check to make sure both onboard and the sound card are enabled as audio outs in the control panels sound tab.
1s your sure there both enabled. set your sound card as the primary default.(should have a tick next to it)

open wmc and set the audio device to the motherboard not the default.
now wmc should use the motherboard while everything else should use the sound card.
