RRVLC always plays it on Directx 1 which is my default on board sound.

Any chance you can have a look at the code? If not, if you're willing to pass it on to me I can have a look at (been a programmer for a long time). If I can't get the sound to work, I'm back at square one for the rear video.

Thanx.

I'll have a look as I have never tested that bit. All i did was set the vlc to go to the right card and it allways did it.

This is a problem. It seems they removed the options bit for security reasons. This is what I use for changing the audio card. It also seems that they have stopped supporting the activex dll so I am doing a rewrite which will hopefully be better and more future proof as it links directly to vlc. It may take a little while to get back to what I had but its the only way now I'm afraid.

I know its taken a long time but I think I've finally cracked this. The answer is a bit crappy but it works. Will be posting a new version soon.

Awesome. Thanx lambo....been away from the car pc for a while but this was one of the few issues I had left.

Well I've said it before but now I've def cracked it. Had to completely rewrite it but its ready so who wants to test it? Anynumber of screens all with thier own sound cards (tested with usb)

Here you go

two things
1) must have vlc 1.1.11 installed
2) Read the readme on how to set up the soundcards. Its a pig and the only way to do it right is the way described.
