Wow, that previous reply was really long. I'll make mine short, but 100% correct.
is it possible or will not provide music to zone 2 via usb input.
No.
That's it. The 990 doesn't support anything but analog inputs for Zone 2. There is no way around this limitation. Anything you do to connect your PC to the 990 for Zone 2 will have to work within this limitation. The solutions are all easy, not complex.
1. Use analog output from your PC in addition to USB. Analog for Zone 2, USB for Main Zone.
You can accomplish this using your computer's dedicated analog audio output, or if those aren't available, use a USB to analog audio adapter on your PC ($3-10) on eBay. You first USB connection would stay connected to the 990 as it always has. Alternately you can use only the analog connection for both zones.
You can connect the analog connection from your PC to any analog input on the 990.
Done.
Here's a link to a
USB audio adapter. I have the exact same model and it works beautifully. US$3.19 shipped.
