Hi
I have all my music files stored on my WHS. I have a number of media players around the place accessing the files via the Jamcast UPNP music server installed on the WHS (which I felt had some advantages over Windows Media Connect).
Sometimes I also want to be able to broadcast the same stream to all the players. Jamcast has a "virtual soundcard" which broadcasts whatever is playing on the server's local audio device. If I log into the server itself, I can start a track or playlist in Media Player, and Jamcast picks it up and sends it out as planned. However if I log on to the server from one of the clients (which is preferable) using the Windows Home Server console, or Remote Desktop, trying to play any sound generates a C00D11BA error and the following message:
"Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly."
