StormAudio has its own documentation for Dirac ART on its Knowledge Center.

Thanks. I fixed the link.

I recently purchased some more smoke detectors and found that they emit an 85 dB signal (at 10 ft) at 3200 Hz. You can read more in The Audibility of Smoke Alarms in Residential Homes. You can use the smoke detector to set REW or Omnimic with a fair bit of accuracy. This is because smoke...

Many use Zones for various rooms in the house and need the living room, kitchen, bedroom, etc. to all be in exact sync when playing the same content to all Zones. JRiver introduced ZoneSync quite a few years ago that "uses extensions of the DLNA protocol to cue items for playback, check zones...

I couldn't remember if video content can use linked zones. I found this thread from almost 10 years ago that shows that another zone is needed for video: Simultaneous HDMI and Onboard Analog Output, but that could have changed since then. With multiple analog zones, you can use Adjust Link...

You should be able to do this in JRiver Media Center. Create a Zone for Bitstreaming output and a Zone for Analog output. Link the Zones. Each Zone can be assigned its own audio device. I can test it tonight to see if it works.
