I have a HTPC with such a connection:

A. HDMI output to TV
B. A 20 years old Denon stereo amplifier, connected to 3.5mm line-out of onboard HD audio
C. A pair of bluetooth stereo speaker.

So essentially they are 3 different audio devices in device manager. Is there a software solution that can play a movie like this:

1. Decode the audio track, whatever the format is, and convert to 5.0 channel. (LAV can do this?)
2.1 Duplicate the center channel to stereo, and output PCM to HDMI
2.2 Output front L&R channels to line-out of onboard HD audio
2.3 Output rear L&R channels to bluetooth

I see MPC-BE can output to 2 devices simultaneously. But I need 3, plus some channel manipulations :o

Potplayer can do it, no problem.

LAV for decoding, EqualizerAPO for the channel mixing, and Voicemeeter Banana or Potato for the duplicated outputs.

Thanks dude. I have had a try, Voicemeeter Banana itself can do this. Now I have my soft 5.0 sound system.:devil:

Yeah, that's true I guess Voicemeeter itself has some channel mixing abilities as well.
