Clipping with dolby digital through sp

whenever i use DD though spdif either from an outside source (xbox 360) or from the pc itself (software dvd player) i get clipping. it's as if the DD stream is too loud. is there a way to lower the volume for the DD stream? i've tried lowering the "spdif in" volume control but it becomes frozen when ever an?outside?spdif source (360) is being used and it has no effect on the spdif source?from the pc (software dvd player). when the volume control is frozen the must button is activated but obviously the?volume is not muted.

After talking to three levels of support, I finally was told the new Macbook Pros (with Retina display) are NOT capable of producing Dolby digital through the HDMI port. They only do digital stereo.
In order to produce up to 8 channels of Dolby digital surround sound you must use an additional toslink cable, which is a mini fiber optic, found cheap at Monoprice!
Just for the record, the expensive Thundebolt to HDMI or mini Display port to HDMI only do stereo too. Not a big deal for most, but upsetting if you're expecting a HDMI to function as it does in any other piece of equiptment!!

Dolby digital through HDMI

I have a 2012 MacBook Pro with retina display. I'm trying to get Dolby digital through the hdmi port and after comparing some media attached to my receiver the same movie was Dolby digital on my WDTV and using the same cable was stereo connected to my MacBook Pro.
I'm not sure if its a setting or an atypical apple thing like they did with the digital stereo connection in headphone jack using a mini fiber optic cable (phoslink).
I suppose if I want to hear Dolby digital out of my Mac, I wondering if I need a thunderbolt to hdmi to get what I want. Dolby digital through HDMI is an industry standard!

Cmss 3d doesnt work with dolby digital live pack

0cmss 3d doesnt work with dolby digital li've pack4 From the page of Dobly Digital Li've pack
"Stereo content (MP3, WMA, CD audio or games) that is transformed into 5. surround sound using Creative CMSS-3D or DTS Neo:PC can also benefit from this encoding scheme that will further enhance the entertainment value of your Sound Blaster X-Fi."
with that said, i bought the pack that has both DDL and DTS Interacti've. but while playing music my reciever only gets front left and right channels. No sound comes from the center or rear channels. This is with CMSS 3D on. With analog all 5 speakers work. Before installing this pack, my reciever got PCM input from the optical line. Thus only the front channels working. now with this pack the speaker recognises that the signal is Dolby or DTS yet, only the front channels work. in short there is no difference with this pack.
could someone please explain to me how to get the whole 5. working with Dolby or DTS
thank you
Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum, Driver 2.8.003
Windows 7 x64 Build 700

thank you for the promp reply
the problem was with the reciever. just a change in setting was all it took
but now i have anoter problem
how do i bypass dolby and dts signals from movies to my reciever
before i simply had to set spdif out as default sound device and set ac3filter to spdif passthru
now the driver panel tells me that SPDIFOut will be exclusvely be used by DTS Interactiv. it doesnt pass the signal through from Media player classic or powerdvd.
am i expected to turn off DTS Interacti've or DDL when watching a movie and needing to pass on the signal?

Can't TAG Mp4 files with Dolby Digital AC3 5.1

Hi everyone, I use iTunes to TAG all my Mp3 and Mp4, I have over 100,000 Mp3 tagged with iTunes without no problem and over 2,000 DVDs concerts, TV series, etc in Mp4 format tagged also with iTunes without any problems, all my Mp4 til now have 2 channel stereo sound.
My problem now is that I'm making some Mp4 movies with dolby digital 5.1 and this Mp4 play perfect in iTunes and QuickTime ''but'' I can't TAG them in iTunes because of the AC3 5.1, I'm sure of this because everthing made in 2 channel stereo have no problem to TAG in iTunes. If I TAG them its seems in the begining to write the TAGs but if I clear iTunes and then re-load again the files the TAGs dissapears.
I use MAC and PC. I use Nero Recode 2 to make my Mp4. I have the last version of iTunes and QT.... I have noticed that Winamp can write the TAGs without any problems and stays there but what I need is to iTunes recognize that TAGs because I run all my libraries in iTunes
Thanks in advance, sorry for my english.

Anybody please, any answer can help me please... Is that no body has experience this same problem?
If iTunes can't support TAGs with 5.1 is possible to fix this in the next update?
Regards

What GAMES Are Encoded With Dolby Digital Surrou

I'm trying to find some games to play which have Dolby Digital Surround encoded in their code.

There are NO games encoded with Dolby Digital Surround. At least none that I am aware of. You need a sound card that performs Dolby Digital Encoding, and Creative Labs does not producr such a sound card, although they ave just release an external device that has 5. analog inputs and will encode that into Dolby Digital Surround format. Why they did that instead of putting on the sound card, I do not know or understand.

How do i burn a DVD with Dolby Digital 5.1?

Hi!
I have a BIG question...
I have edited a movie in Premiere CS4 and i've added Dolby Digital 5.1 which works greate in Premiere.
But when i use a Dynamic Link to Encore CS4, the sound only be in 3.0 for some reason. And when i burn it to a DVD and try it, i only hear sounds from front left, centre and front right. Why? And how do i solve this problem?
Thanks in advance
Hokerberg

You need the Minnetonka SurCode DD 5.1 SS plug-in for Export from PrPro, to get DD 5.1 SS onto your DVD in Encore. Do you have that?
If you do not have it, purchase it (~US$250) from within PrPro, as you will get an Adobe-user discount over the price on the Web site.
As Jim points out, you need to Export, so that you can encode with the SurCode encoder, and then Import into Encore. I always use elemental streams, i.e. one video-only and then one audio-only DD 5.1 SS AC3. Many mux the files into one.
Good luck,
Hunt

BF3 poor audio quality with Dolby Digital Live anabled.

Hello, i have a X-Fi Fatality card connected to audio receiver with the Toslink cable with the Dolby Digital Live enabled, and in BF3 i hear that bullets sounds more like popcorn crack very low quality, with BF2 the audio was awesome. Anyone else having the same problem?

There are several Fatality cards - which one do you have? OS is Win7 i guess? So which driver are you using? Did you try Danial_Ks Support Pack?

Notebook soundcard with dolby digital live

Hello,
I'm searching everywhere for a soundcard with dd li've output. My current USB x-fi surround 5. doesn't have that.
I've found the Audigy 2 ZS PCMCIA (but my laptop only has an expresscard slot).
So then I found the SB X-FI Xtreme Audio Notebook as an express card. Does that allow dd li've?
Does Creative offer a laptop soundcard with dd li've support?
Thanks

tried. Same result. i think Im gonna have to uninstall and reinstallt he whole sha-bang again.. this sux

Is creative EVER going to produce a soundcard with Dolby Digital Encodi

It would be really nice if Creative would make a soundcard that included DD Encoding and a real SPDIF output and not ont that only supports AC-3 passthru from DVDs and PCM stereo! Especially since nVidia did it on the old nForce2 MCP-T and C-Media also supports DD Encoding in thier CMI8768 chip used on this card (http://www.bluegears.com/soundcard_xmystique.html). The real killing thing is that now that Realtek now has the HD Realtek ALC880 CODEC for AC-97 sound that does DD-Encoding (http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/products-2.aspx?modelid=2004058) so that motherboards will now be able to have DD Encoding and not the $400 creative card!

Hi Jason,
I do not mean to be difficult but, as I stated in my original post, I have an SB0220, and that driver would not install. It reports that it cannot detect any Sound Blaster audio card on my system, even though Creative Diagnostics (the version installed from the cd) reports that everything is installed and working correctly (passed all tests), and the setup program on the original install cd works without any problems. This would seem to indicate to me that your information source is wrong.
In any case, that is not the point of my post. The point is that this card (and other SB022x models) should be included. It does not necessarly have to be in it's own category (although it would make it much easier to find the correct software/drivers/documentation if it was), but it should be included somewhere. Even if the link brings you to a page that says that currently there are no available updates for this card, it should be included. Currently, the documentation for this card is not even available for download. I can understand there not being any driver updates as of yet, but if nothing else, the documentation should be avaialble.

How to play Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack in a movie with iTunes (PC)?

I can't play Transformers: Dark of the Moon with Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack. It's simply greyed out, I can choose English Stereo and Hungarian Stereo. I played with the settings, but no luck. I don't know it's hardware related or else, I even try QuickTime, but it doesn't even play audio or video, just grey window.
My PC:
Windows7 32 bit Home Premium
Pentium E5300

Hi MW
I have checked User s manuals for F10-140 and on page 32 I have found this:
HEADPHONE (S/PDIF) JACK This jack lets you connect peakers or stereo headphones (16 ohm minimum). When you connect a speaker or headphones, the internal speakers are automatically disabled.
This jack can be used also as S/PDIF jack and enables connection of optical digital correspondence apparatus.

Dolby Digital Settings

With my system, if Dolby Digital is set to "On" in settings, I don't get any sound at all from Rented or Purchased movies from iTunes - however, I do get sound from Netflix, Youtube, iTunes music, etc.
Sound works in iTunes material if Dolby Digital is set to "Off" or "Auto."
I'm worried, however, that if a Movie is Streaming with Dolby Digital, the sound should be working when the Audio Setting is "On." Am I just getting stereo audio if the Dolby Digital setting is "Auto?"
Currently I am only running the HDMI Cable to the TV - no Optical Audio out or anything.
John

I think it's probably similar to my issue here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17926593#17926593
Rentals generally have either 1 or 2 audio tracks.
The first is stereo (occasionally mono), the second is the dolby digital surround.
I connect to the TV via HDMI and to the surround processor via optical.
In the past I'm sure I've managed to have sound from the TV (HDMI) or surround processor (optical Dolby Digital simultaneously).
I think what currently happens is this:
AppleTV 'talks' to the HDMI device and ascertains what it can support. Most TVs will not be able to decode Dolby Digital over HDMI. Receivers/amps with DD capability will.
So when the TV is connected via HDMI, and DD is set to off or Auto the TV gets the stereo feed (Auto selecting stereo as TV can't handle DD).
If however DD is set to On this forces DD through HDMI but the TV doesn't know what to do with it.
So in my situation I can either have it set for stereo audio over HDMI (Off or Auto) and optical, or DD over both (DD set to On.
Clearly I want the stereo track to go to the TV over HDMI and DD over optical (falling back to stereo if no DD track) so I don't have to fiddle in Settings each time I choose to listen through TV vs surround system.

KDL 55W800C Android TV apps not getting 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound

Just bought KDL-55W800C Android TV few days ago. Everything is great except the DD 5.1 surround. I am using optical audio out to a STR-KS360 receiver. I get 5.1 with Telus Cisco CIS430 PVR connected to TV no problem. But when I tried Netflix, Play Movies and USB test MP4 on the TV. They are coming through as 2.0 only. BD connected to TV also only come through as 2.0 only while BD connected to receiver gives 5.1. Is this a known problem? There seem to be similar threads on other models. E.g. https://community.sony.com/t5/4K-Ultra-HD-TV/XBR-75X850C-Netflix-Amazon-dolby-digital-5-1-channel-support/m-p/509054/highlight/true#M4168

That sounds more logical, however, Apple and Netflix are pointing at each other.
The player needs to be compatible with Dolby Digital Plus, so that would ultimately put the responsibility on Apple. However, DDP for streaming 5.1 surround sound from the Internet is relatively new, so it doesn't surprise me that the ATV doesn't currently support it, but I would expect Apple to release a software update for it at some point.

Absent Dolby Digital[AC-3] Decoding feat

Ques :
My sound card Sound Blaster Li've 5.. Model no. SB Li've [A400].. Problem is Dolby Digital [AC-3] feature absent in Surround Mixer/Speaker/Setting dialog box. Pls tell me how I get that feature. I use original software. Surround Mixer Version is 2.00.53
Ques 2 :
My Speaker Creative Inspire 5. 5200. How can I hear Dolby Digital and dts sound?
Ques 3:
If I use Audigy 2 Zs and Creative Inspire 5. 5200. Dolby Digital and dts sound can come through my speaker?

Q: From the description of you soundcard of the Creative website, it looks as though you should have dolby digital decoding capability, but I'm not sure why your AC3 option would be missing (my option is in the advanced playback settings).
Q2: If it turns out your card is not capable of decoding AC3, then you can use a version of PowerDVD or WinDVD with Dolby Digital/DTS decoding capability (not usually available in the free versions). This will let you get DD/DTS using the analogue connections to your speakers.
Q3: The Audigy 2 can decode both DD and DTS so you will be able to use the analogue connections to your speakers to get 5. surround sound.

XBOX Dolby Digital 5.1 (optical) -- SB Live 5.1 Platinum -- Logitech Z5300 - IS IT POSSIBL

When the XBOX is set on Stereo or Dolby Surround (both with Dolby Digital set to off), I get sound out of four speakers and sub, but no center channel. This is in games, movies, and menus/music.
When the Dolby Digital is enabled, there is light pop/static sound followed by NO AUDIO. This occurs when I put a game or movie into the XBOX.
Menu sounds and XBOX music files come through in 4. no matter what the XBOX settings.
When I play DVDS and games on the computer, the Dolby Digital works great.
Is the setup I desire possible? Can the Li've Dri've's optical in accept Dolby Digital? If not, WHY NOT?
The speakers are analog. CMSS is off. I've swapped XBOXs, AV packs, and optical cables.
ApexAnalog

you will have to use movie mode in presets , which is cmss to get sound from sb5. and optical out on the xbox and optical in on li've dri've.
And have the advanced av pack and goto xbox audio settings and choose dolby digital enabled, as you have done.
But the card is not doing dolby digital, its uplaoding to the speakers in a simulated dolby digital mode, much as in the same way if you just connect the left/right audio pins, to the AUX 2 in at front of li've dri've.
Well thats how my 4 sb5. and li've dri'ves do it, so they all can,t be broken, or every single xbox i have plugged in, in much the same ways as external dvd players and the li've dri've optical in on sb5, handle it.
So unless someone at creative can tell us how to get dd5. with this setup. Thats what im saying, try it for yourself, then get a dd5. decoder and see the difference.
