Playback 5.1 to spdif and stereo to 3.5mm

[filpee2]

I can manually get Vista to output 5.1 audio via the onboard coax to my amplifier and stereo to the 3.5mm headphone jacks if I build my own graph

I have read a bunch of forum posts trying other methods but this seems to work the best. (actually its the only method that works for me).

My question is then how can I get this graph to load up automatically within Vista MCE or using alternative software players such as Media Player Classic?

You could load the grf files thru AVISynth. keep in mind you have to build one graph for the video, and a separate one for the video.

Yeah thats gonna be a bit hard when i go to use MCE.

Might have to look at hardware options. Bit of a pain seems how I can force Vista to do what I want by manipulating the filters.

Got any other ideas?

Directshow works on a merit system when deciding which filters to use, so it not very inteligent, especially with what you want to do.

But if you install AVISynth, save your custom graph, then make a script with DirectshowSource("yourcustomgraph.grf") and save it as an .AVS file, this will load into any directshow player like MPC or MCE.
