I'm trying to setup multiple soundcards in my HomeSeer Server which is running WHS so that I can have different audio zones through the house.
The server has a onboard soundcard which works fine and I can plug in any of my audio zone amps into this card and the amps and speakers all work perfectly. However I have also purchased a couple of USB 3D Sound Cards (USB 2.0 TO 3D AUDIO SOUND CARD ADAPTER VIRTUAL 5.1 ch) to use as other sound cards for other zones, these work fine and sound great when I plug a set of headphones into it. However when I plug one of my zone amps into it the music is all distorted. I've tried lowering the output volume and its still distorted, if I unplug the amp and plug the headphones in again the sound quality is perfect.
These are the amps I'm using http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=220054
Anyone any ideas what is happening here ?
