You can choose which hardware device the Id will play to. In Internet Explorer, you can do this by running Explorer and clicking on the Id device. This will start MC's server in your browser.

Click on Audio Devices. (If you don't see it, you may have a version of the Id that doesn't include it. You can update from the text menu.

You will see a list similar to this one:

  • Null Output
  • default:CARD=PCH [ALSA]
  • front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 [ALSA]
  • hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 [ALSA]
  • surround40:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 [ALSA]
  • surround41:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 [ALSA]
  • surround50:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 [ALSA]
  • surround51:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 [ALSA]
  • surround71:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 [ALSA]
  • sysdefault:CARD=B20 [ALSA]
  • sysdefault:CARD=PCH [ALSA]

In the list above, HDMI is obvious. Analog out (1/8" stereo jack) is front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 [ALSA]. A USB DAC might have any name. In the list, the Bel Canto USB DAC is * sysdefault:CARD=B20 [ALSA].
