ATV3 - I need to enable dolby digital for optical surround sound (netflix and home movies), but when I do this it stops audio coming through TV speakers

I have a cinema sound receiver connected to Apple TV via optical cable. When I have dolby digital set to Auto it doesn't come through as dolby digital when watching movies on netflix and iTunes (home movies).
If I set Dolby Digital to ON it works as expected, but the sound stops working through normal TV speakers (via HDMI). This is the same for netflix and home movies.
I tried 16 bit setting, but it made no difference.
Any advice on how I can get this working - meaning Dolby Digital always on for when I turn my surround sound on and sound through speakers for normal operation?
Obviously I can change the setting when needed, its just a pain.
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,
here is the friendly and signed driver installation method to enable Dolby Digital Plus in your Encore internal speakers only. This is not an official driver, there is no control panel for Dolby Digital Plus or various sound effects, but tested and has much better and richer surround sound quality as before with factory driver. I guess, this driver tweak can work with any Bay Trail tablet also.
How can you upgrade Encore sound drivers:
1. Download signed driver package and extract.
2. Open Device Manager.
3. Upgrade your Sound, Video and game controllers
- Intel SST Audio Device
- Realtek I2S Audio Codec
one by one with "Have a disk" method.
4. Double click enabledolby.reg file and add to your registry.
5. Restart, and enjoy better sound quality.
Thanks.
UPDATE: Official Toshiba Dolby Digital leaked, official driver attached: ToshibaDolby.zip

Set Dolby Digital for optical only, not HDMI?

Just wondering if there's a way to set the ATV2 to output Dolby Digital only over optical but not over HDMI? My TV doesn't support DD but (obviously) my 5.1 receiver does. If I leave the setting on "Auto" it just sends a stereo signal to both HDMI and optical, but if I turn it on to "On" then it works via optical but not over HDMI since the TV can't understand it.

I set up my TV as a monitor only and route all sound directly via optical to my receiver. I then muted my TV, and control sound via the receiver.

I need to reinstall my Acrobat 9. Have a disc and serial number, but when I enter the number I am told it is not a valid serial number. Checked my registration for CS 5 and that is the number. Now what?

In trying to reinstall the Adobe Pro 9, I keep getting the message that I ado not have a valid serial number. But I am using the number Adobe shows as the number with which I registered the product. Need this program to work. Any advice?

If it's a CS5 number you need to install with your Creative Suite disks, NOT an Acrobat download.

I don't think you can change DPI in iPhoto. You can do it in Preview or an App like Graphic Converter. Here is a screenshot from Preview. Preview is located in your Application Folder

How to enable dolby digital in itunes

Hello, what steps are needed to enable dolby digital to work in ITunes? Thanks.

Set up iTunes and your DVD Player for digital surround sound - Apple Support

Vista ultimate x64 any chance to get decoding of dts and dolby digital for audigy 2 zs platinum

hello,
i need the support of deconding dts or dolby digital for my audigy 2 zs platinum pro.
is there any chance to get this feature back in vista ultimate x64?
i hope anybody can help me.
thanks for all
steffen

According to Creative, Vista no longer supports the decoding of Dolby and DTS at the driver level, so no, that feature proabably won't added back in the future. It is gone for all the Creative cards.

Encoding Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC3) sound in MP4 files using AC3 pass-through

Looking for an application that will encode Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC3) sound in an .mp4 container using AC3 pass-through for playing videos with surround sound on ATV.
Handbrake is out of the question because I run Tiger. The Tiger version cannot do AC3 pass-through.
Visual Hub is no longer available.
Any other options?

You may need Apple's MPEG2 QT plugin as well for MPEGStreamclip.
Also, consider if running windows in parallels/Boot Camp etc that there's a windows version, and possibly a linux version.
VisualHub code was released open source - Google FilRedux and PunyVid (iSquint derivative). Not tried either though.

5.1 Dolby Digital via optical cable in Mac Pro?

Hello!
I'm planning to get a new Mac Pro and I wanted to know if a Dolby Digital or DTS encoder is included to have 5.1 output with the optical TosLink cables.
I need this to connect the Mac with my 5.1 surround sound system because I wanted to watch DVDs using it.
If it only supports stereo sound in the standard version, do you have any recommendations to expand it to get the described feature?
Thanks for answers.

Hook up the toslink, set the output to digital in System Preferences>Sound, set the input on your 5.1 receiver and match the surround sound format in both the DVD movie sound prefs and the receiver.
That's it.
Remember to set the speakers in the correct positions from your sitting point or it won't work very well.
To test the surround sound I suggest the movie Castaway, where Tom Hanks is picking up Fedex boxes from the surf line. You'll hear the waves crash on the left, Tom walking towards you and coconuts falling on the right.
The toslink and a good receiver also makes your rips and iTMS songs sound great too.
Check out the Volume Logic iTunes plug-in as well, really makes the music sound great.
(no comp)

Workflow to get a dolby digital 5.1 surround, alot of confusion.

what I have usually done with my videos is to export omf to logic , and mixed in 5.1, from there i bounce in multichannel audio file, and open it i compressor and create there my AC3 file
is that all to get a professional accepted DOLBY DIGITAL FILE AUDIO file?
what is real professional workflow used in feature films and main studios? I SEE hardwares around as dolby e etc
please help me to clear my confusion

These are the specific specs requested by a specific facility. They requested a quicktime with the surround sound tracks muxed (combined with the video) in this fashion. The other DCP's I've delivered either had stereo tracks or we supplied seperate audio files for each surround sound channel. So I wouldn't use these without talking to the facility making the DCP.

You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
Seriously? It's physically broken!

Hi, I have had an LG Octane for 4 years and loved it. I used it for email, surfing the web and facebook. But 6 weeks ago I stopped getting text messages, I could send but not receive. I was told it was just worn out. So I ordered another Octane from ebay, and it wouldn't connect to the internet. I was told by Verizon that the software had been changed. So I ordered a NEW in Box Octane and I am having trouble with that too. Bing won't work, nothing will work that will enable me to download Verizon Opera mini that still works on my old phone. I have a smart phone with another number but I LOVE the Octane for daily use. Why will my old Octane work but I can't get a NEW one to. Verizon guys are stumped too:( Please help!! Thanks!

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.
