Unfortunately Setup -> Audio crashes the FE. If I try the Setup Wizard 
the FE freezes as soon as I advance to the Audio section and Ctrl-Alt-F1 
is necessary to regain any control. I did have an MS Windows machine 
with the same name (Office) and with Mythfrontend configured but it was 
only connected to an older 0.25 BE. Having MythTV on this machine isn't 
absolutely necessary but sure is convenient, I use it primarily to edit 
shows before transcoding them for the Video Library and I can do that 
from any FE. I haven't done a real build for over 25 years so I hope it 
won't come to that.
