Help playing music on PC and stereo at the same time

Can someone please tell me where this option to Enable playback on Local PC.
 
I am running version 1.5.744.1 and I think this option has been removed.   I would like to be able to have my music coming thru my computer speakers while I'm streaming to the stereo but can't seem to figure out how to do it.
 
The Help file says its possible :
Music can be played on the Local PC at the same time as it is streamed to a remote receiver if Enable playback on Local PC... is selected.
 
When I go to rooms and recievers section in streampoint that option is not there like the pictures show.
 
Can someone help me out?

Re: Help playing music on PC and stereo at the same time

Sorry for not searching the forums before posting.
 
I found answers that say this feature is not available yet.  Unfortunetly I also noticed those post are almost a year old and responses from logitech say they are actively working on it.  
 
Very dissapointed because I looked thru the manuel online before making my purchase and this is a feature i was counting on.
 
Does anyone know if I can make anything work if I use PC Control mode. 
 
thanks

Re: Help playing music on PC and stereo at the same time

Just got same answer after being on with tech for about a half hour.. they finally said that the product has been discontinued and that there were no plans for software updates that would rectify this problem....
 
This is clearly a case of false advertising!
 
This is the ONLY reason that I purchased this unit... I'm completely disappointed with Logitech for this and a few other unsolved problems in the past regarding mouse issues...
 
Logitech.. care to step up and give an answer here about this?

Re: Help playing music on PC and stereo at the same time

Hey !! ... I found myself in the same situation while installing my system.  Fortunetely I think I saw a chance to emulate it and kind of solving the problem.
First of all, realize that Logitech is displayed as a soundcard, therefore it can be manipulated as soundcard output.
then find a cable that its 3.5mm to 3.5mm (headphone like)... then route manually the microphone out to an input of the other soundcard.
Then download a mix prog like audacity and illustrate the situation... your soundcard should appear..
and then start both progs..
 
it worked for me ..

Thanks, I'll try that but I think I already did... are you able to do this while in "Stream All PC Sounds" mode??
