On the receivers, set Airfoil Speakers to use default device. Make sure exclusive mode is turned off everywhere on the server relating to the TuneBlade Audio device that your using. Set airfoil speakers on the server to your default sound card (as long as its NOT the same as TuneBlade) Set the device windows control panel audio settings to 16/44 on the server and as the default playback device. Set TuneBlade to that specific device instead of using loop back. Install a virtual one if you don't have one spare. Use a dedicated output device on the server for TuneBlade that isn't used by anything else.

I can now switch between spotify, and MC on the server remotely. Part 2 Turned up a bit to hear Audio in Sync across the 5 Zones and another run back through the house.

Part 1 Quick Overview and run through the house for 5 AirPlay zones in Sync across different devices. I know Jim will move this to the AirPlay forum but I thought a wider audience might appreciate the demo and guide. If anyone has questions or ideas to make this simpler please let me know! This guide is related to my "What can you do with JRiver Media Center" thread, and is the first detailed guide I've put together. Im not kidding when I say it Works Flawlessly. In a few minutes a couple of video demos will be uploaded to Youtube showing how well JRiver MC20 works with AirPlay whole of house sync using TuneBlade as a dedicated playback zone.
