Can't get Dolby and DTS options to work

Hi!
Could anyone help me with my new Sound Blaster Z soundcard. I can't get Dolby and DTS options to work with my optical cabel under Cinematic tab in Pro Studio. I've googled enough, tried basically everything. Cinematic tab was never greyed out from the beginning. It either gave me intense, very high pitch noice when you acticated Dolby or DTS options or now... giving error which states:
"The SPDIF-out (Sound Blaster Z) device is currently being used by another application. Please close any application that may be playing audio to this device and try again."
I've re-installed drivers numerous times, tried different Windows operating system (7 and 8.1). Speakers (Sound Blaster Z) is made as default device, other stuff is disabled. I seriously don't know what to do, I'm god **** frustrated, because apart from Cinematic tab not working the sound isn't that great compared to my integrated motherboard soundchip.
// If it matters my speakers are Edifier S530D

Hi Kimbie,
Are you able to play back mp3 audio tracks?
I'm suspecting you are trying to play back encoded content.
Do share more details here so that I can assist you further.
Cheers,

  • How can i get DD and DTS back?? (for Xfi XtremeMusic, windows vista 64-b

    well, anybody?

    Hi there.
    I got DD and DTS working, in Vista 64, by using the X-Fi Dell drivers (as mentioned here elsewhere).
    Copy the file : ctac32k.sys from the amd64 folder, inside drivers/wdm/win2k_xp/amd64, to Windows/system32/drivers.
    Overwrite the file already there, reboot.
    Should now have a 'decoder' tab in the Creative Audio Console.
    Hope that helps.
    ... works great for me.

  • Can't get in and out markers to work

    In Pro 7, I can't find the In and Out markers on some clips I've downloaded off Limewire. When I go File:New audio and record blank noise for a few seconds, the markers appear. How can I get the markers and trim down my Limewire clips? Thanks

    I've seen a few times in the past what you are talking about. But, the in and out sections would fade in and out.
    Try doing a save as to the movie and see if this makes the player a little more stable,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Without a backup, the use of iTunes or the use of iCloud, your only choice is to restore the device as new to remove the passcode.

  • HT4437 Can't get iTunes and monitor mirroring to work at the same time.

    When I turn on my airplay on itunes it turns off the airplay from my monitor. I don't know how I've done it before but I sometimes can't play itunes and have it mirror my screen at the same time so I can use the visualizer. Whenever I turn one on, the other shuts off. I've done it before. Is there a specific sequence you need to run itunes and have the mirroring work too?

  • How Can I Get Wav and Mic Options?

    When running Windows XP I had a Soundblaster sound card and when I wanted to brodcast Internet Radio, I went to the sound icon, Recording, and selected Mic to talk or Wav for playing music. On my new computer, I am running Windows 7 Professional. I have an SB X-Fi Go external USB soundcard, into which I plug my headset (which has an attached Mic). I am sitll unable to find something similar to that window in XP that allows me to select Mic or Wav. In the demo for Console Launcher, Mixer, it shows Mic, Wav, and many other options. In my case, all I see are Playback on the left with the microphone underneath it, and Record? on the right with What-U-Hear underneath it.
    I am still looking for the quick way to go back and forth between Wav for playing music and Mic for introducing songs. Is there any way to get this in Windows 7? I have posted this topic on Windows 7 boards, but no one has an answer, probably because none of them broadcast, and never used the feature in XP.
    Any ideas?

    & No, that does not help. ?I already go there in order to disable certain devices and select the ones I want operati've when I broadcast. ?The device is not the issue. ?It is the need to quickly and frequently go back and forth between playing music and talking while broadcasting over Internet radio. ?
    Please go to the sound icon in Windows XP and go to the Recording tab there. ?You will find not only the ability to select items and set the volume levels for each, but there is a box to check and uncheck depending on whether you want to use the mic to announce a song, or wav to play the song. ?Windows 7 does not offer the same interface, and I was hoping that by buying this sound card for my laptop that I would get that ability back. ?

  • HD TV Show... can't get Dolby Digital 5.1 to Work

    I just bought an episode of Chuck (from NBC). In the description of the show it says that it has Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. I have my macbook-pro hooked up to my surround sound system using a mini-toslink -> optical connector. When playing the episode the Stereo track plays just fine... but if I switch to Surround.... I get no sound.
    Any ideas?

    I bought LOST season 5 season pass.
    I only found out about this 'non-feature' after trying for ages to get it to work and searching for a solution.
    When I first complained I got told by support that it was probably a hardware issue and to call the support line. I did, got the same answer, and was then asked to part with more money for continued support, which I declined. I asked point blank whether DD5.1 really only plays back on Apple TV - which was denied.
    After continuing to pursue it I finally got an email from 'tier 2' support admitting that 5.1 does only plays back on an Apple TV: here's the text:
    +This is+ name removed +from iTunes Store Customer Support and your request+
    +has been escalated to me today. I understand that you have been+
    +unable to use Dolby surround sound on your computer for your iTunes+
    +Store purchases.+
    +Dolby 5.1 surround sound is currently only available for the Apple+
    +TV. Apple recognizes that no one is better qualified to provide+
    +feedback about the content provided on the iTunes Store than the+
    +people who use it.+
    I got back to them to say I'd like a (small!) partial refund - to cover the costs of my phone bills and disappointment. They've gone silent.
    I've now reported it to Trading Standards in the UK as it is misselling. Curiously - since i complained the 'About HD' section - where it used to say +on your Apple TV or Computer+ has been changed.

  • T42 HD replaced, can't get restore and recovery disc to work properly

    Hello Support Team!
    I purchased a ThinkPad from a company going out of business and was happy with it until the hard drive started to freak out.  I replaced the hard drive with a new Western Digital 250 GB and ordered the recovery discs from the place in Atlanta.  The discs arrived and I thought I was ready for my new computer.  I'm following all the directions in the install, changing the startup to boot from the CD.  I get the Recovery Welcome Screen and try to click on Restore Factory Settings.  At this point, I get a screen that says "In order to proceed, your system must be rebooted".  I haven't gotten past this point now matter what I try. 
    I like this little machine, but I'm afraid I can no longer breathe new life into it????
    Do you have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    OK, that's a good start.
    Have you wiped the drive before attempting to install the OS? If not, now would be a good time to do it.
    Download the PC Doctor for DOS bootable CD, burn a disk and boot from it.

    Wipe the drive clean (under utilities), run diagnostics on the rest of the system.
    If everything comes back clean, re-try installing the OS.
    Good luck and keep us posted.

  • I want to get another 4s and use it not as a phone, but only as a video camera and editor and hook it up only with wifi. i would sync it to itunes so i can pay for apps and upload. would this work, or must it be connected to a phone carrier?

    Trust me when I say this coming from 20 years of experience.
    Get a powered external drive, format it 1 Partition Option: GUID and OS X Extended Journed as the format in Disk Utility.
    Download and install Carbon Copy Cloner, clone internal drive to external drive.
    Set a schedule to remind you to do it at least once a week, keep it near your charger.
    When you plug your charger in, do plug the clone and power the machine up, set the display to sleep only,
    CCC will do the rest.
    If you want to boot from it, hold the option/alt and select it Startup Manager.
    I've seen many TimeMachine and TimeCapsule nightmares and so far haven't seen a problem from anyone using a bootable clone.
    It's simple, it's easy, it's more reliable and more powerful than what Apple does and it only takes plugging in a extra cable.
    Make as many clones as you want, keep them time seperated, off site etc. etc.
    Cables don't have network issues, clones can be verified in seconds merely by booting from them.
    Clones protect your productivity, your up in seconds on a clone despite even the hard drive dying.
    Software problem? No sweat, boot of the clone and reverse clone your problems away.
    If you want to fuss and muss with half implemented TimeMachine and TimeCapsule network headaches then prepare to suffer.
    I don't like to suffer, I bought a Mac not to suffer, but it appears you do with TimeMachine and TimeCapsule.
