Help with home audio setup

from WinCustomize Forums
Ok, I want to listen to my music from my pc through my home theater, but only get the music from winamp, not the sounds that come from aim or other apps. So do I need another sound card or something?

Is you sound card able to play multiple sounds like Winamp playing music and then system sounds? Some cards can only output one sound stream and others can handle multiple ones. My knowledge is limited on this but I know the above is true at least

Well if he is able to hear more than one sound normally on his PC speakers, then it should work on his home system too.

Sound card will pass thru all sounds. If you want to only hear Winamp then go into Control Panel and disable all system sounds (you can set up different profiles to switch back and forth

If your sounds for system events is not disabled it is quite possible that you have disabled the ability to play back midi or wav files. If you double click on the speaker icon in the task tray you will find many options to mute various aspects of the sound system.

Would this work; I put another soundcard in (I have many of them), and select winamp to run through it, and that soundcard would run to my stereo. The other one would only play sounds from my pc (aim, system sounds, video, etc..).
