Connecting creative inspire 6600 to the ddts-100 decoder

ok so i was sedused by the idea of getting a ddts-100 to my inspire 6600 speakers,but the fact is i need to know some information:
the first thing is:will i be able to connect my speakers to the decoder and then to the soundcard?
my speakers have only RCA jacks for the satellites to connect them to the amp,and the amp have 3 assebled wires,3.5mm ones...my soundcard have also 3 connectors for the speakers,no digital output or optical,..only 3 connectors for the 3.5mm...so will i be able to connect it and then will it be able to reproduce sound like it was doing before?
2-the decoder says it can decode dolby digital ex,dts es,i don't know if i am saying this right but,sometimes we say decoding in 24bits/96khz .....its the dvd quality right? then will the decoder DECODE the dvd source in 24bits/96khz or is it the job of the soundcard?
3-will the decoder improve the listening experience in quality or surround?in case of dvd playing i know it would,but in case of listening to music?

shin8,
Are you getting proper output if you use the "TEST" button on the remote control?

  • DDTS-100 decoder with Inspire 5500 speakers?

    I've been a very content owner of the Creative Inspire 5500 set (decoder and speakers) for two years now, but just recently my decoder has been playing up. I wish to purchase the DDTS-100 decoder and was wondering if I may use the speakers from my present Inspire 5500 set? The speakers are 5.1 - 8W RMS sub, with five 6W satellites. The speakers are similar (if a little less powerful, I think, than those with the Inspire 5700 set. Is this OK? I searched the archives for a mention of people using this set-up, but can't find any posts concerning this. Thanks for any forthcoming help!

  • DDTS-100 Decoder & Gigaworks S750

    Hello, I am in a bit of a problem here. The DDTS-100 decoder has been discontinued. This would have been the perfect solution for me if it was still available. My aim to get the optical output from my tv (lcd hd tuner tv), take it through a median, go through the 4 cables for each of the type of spears and finally to the subwoofer. Now here's my solutions. 1. Wait for the new decoder... Anyone know what it is and when it's coming out? 2. The median could be an pre-amp or an amp, any recommendations? 3. If anyone has any other ideas or has succeeded without the creative decoder. Though the sticky about the 5.1 speaker cable thing on the main page would be a good idea but you will use your sound quality and the loundness dramatically in comparison to the first two solutions above. Your help in this matter is appreciated.

    To connect your Soundblaster NX to your DDTS-100 decoder, and let the decoder handle the DD/DTS decoding, you have to connect a digital/optical/coax cable, from the digital output of the NX, to one of the digital inputs on the decoder.. Also make sure you have set the settings on the souncard, to "digital output only", so that the decoder can decode the encoded digital streams, sendt by the soundcard..
    if you want to connect your soundcard to the decoder via analog cables, and let the soundcard do the decoding it self, you will need to use a 7.1 analog-audio cable, that comes with both the decoder and the speaker system. Connect the audio cable from the analog output on the soundcard, to the input "switch-box", and set the switch-box to "PC-audio". Also make sure you have connected your speakers to the "switch-box".

  • DDTS-100 Decoder with Inspire 5500D 5.1 Speakers (DIN Problem!)

    Dear all,
    I bought a DDTS-100 Decoder today, thinking it will improve connectivity and sound quality of my Inspire 5500D 5.1 Speaker System, but I have run into a bit of a problem. My system has a sub which every speaker is connected to and I have to have the DIN cable connected for controlling the speakers and sub but the DDTS-100 doesn't have a din slot so my speakers will not power on when connected to the ddts-100. Is there a way around this or will I have to take back my decoder. I hope there is a solution as I would be very thankful.
    Yours Thankfully,
    Kyle Hunt.

  • Question about the Headphone Jacks on the DDTS-100

    This is probably a strange question, but I am goona ask anyway...
    Anyone know whether the headphone jacks on the DDTS-100 gets Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Pro Logic II? I know it supports it for speakers, but I am unsure about headphones.
    I am considering buying this with Medusa 5.1 Headphones, and I am trying to figure out whether the Dolby Pro Logic II would work with those.
    From what I understand regular 5.1 Headphones do not use the 5 channels unless it is a 5 channel source like a DVD. What I am thinking is that the Dolby Pro Logic II on the decoder might solve that?
    Would this work?
    Thanks for your time!

    Thank you both very much for your help!
    Yes, I was considering pluging it in exactly as ya just mentioned connecting the headphones via the speaker ports, since the Medusa Headphones do have the same plugs as the 5.1 speakers.
    Soo, that might work then? Cool! ty
    Now that I look at it, the headphones instructions on the cords on the net mentions pluging it in exactly like that.
    Thanks again!,

  • Help connect X-fi Elite Pro with DDTS-100 and Gigaworks s750

    Hi,
    I purchased a brand new Gigaworks s750 speakers system, DDTS-100 decoder and X-fi Elite Pro. I connected the DDTS-100 and Elite Pro using Optical Fibre output from the audio console of X-fi Elite Pro to the optical digital input of DDTS-100. With the cables supplied with s750, I connected it to the Decoder DDTS-100. The problem is I am not getting any sound from the rear speakers and the front speakers. Only the centre speakers and the side speakers are producing sound. I could hear loud hissing sound and very very low volume of the music from the front speakers and no sound from the rear speakers. I can hear good quality sound from the centre speakers and average quality sound from the side speakers. What could possibly have gone wrong with my setup ? Somebody please help me. Thanx in advance.

    Hi Richie,
    Thanq for your response. But unlike what you have mentioned, ("what may be happining is the soundcard is decoding the signal and then the ddts is trying to decode it with disatrous results"), In my setup the signal is not getting decoded two times, once by Soundcard and once by the DDTS-100. As I have mentioned that I am taking out an Optical Signal from the sound card to the DDTS-100, the signal comming out from the sound card to the DDTS is Encoded signal only. So there doesnt arise a chance that the signal is getting decoded twice. Can you think of any other reason why my setup is not working? Please let me know.
    regards,
    Rahul M

  • Creative DDTS-100 Decoder - Stereo - Surround

    Hello,
    I ordered the DDTS-100 and stands with the Ddts-100 now before a problem.
    I wanted to connect the dvd-player and tv with the DDTS-100 and enjoy then surround sound, but I heared that this the DDTS-100 not really can do, tune that?
    If I cannot let stereo sound on 5.1 sound, for what is the decoder then good?
    Thanks for your answers.

    i have the exact same problem
    i bought it so that i could use the dolby prologic II from my playstation, everything works except for the sub-signal
    if i use the test function on the remote control, the sub does work though
    i tried optical in (all 3 of'm), analog in (all 3), different cables, different games, different speakers
    i tried it with the optical out from nvidia soundstorm, but no sub-signal either
    and when i use the nvidia test function, the sub makes a noise again
    i bought this because most reviews where rather positive about this product, and now it's kinda useless, racing / gaming / watching a movie without bass is ridiculous
    please give us some help

  • Dynamic Mode on the DDTS-100

    I have a set of Gigaworks S700 plugged into my DDTS-00 hooked up to my DVD player via Coax and man does it sound great. My question is about Dynamic Mode, it is very vague to what it does and it also lists something optional for it etc...what is optional for dynamic mode? How does it work...how do you know if its on or off? Any info on this will help. Not very much info on the site or in the manual. And if I send a email to support it usually doesnt get anwsered...or they dont know what it is either.

    Dynamic is the default. Notice this: When you press the Dynamic mode button on the remote, all of the LED's on the decoder's volume button will flash, press it again and only 4 of the volume buttons LED's will flash - this is how you tell the difference. All LED's = uncompressed/loud and 4 LED's = compressed/quiet (default). Apart from that, I should also mention that your own ears should tell you the difference (uncompressed, the default mode, is less loud). Well, I say less loud, but what in fact it does is minimise or ballance the difference between Dolby Digital or DTS's encoded loud and quiet sounds. Ballancing them so say at night for example, when peeps are sleeping nearby, you will hear the 'quiets' and the 'louds' without the major jumps between the two.
    I would like to add, the difference that dynamic mode does is very much less than my old Inspire 5500 decoder/speaker set-up. When I pressed it on that system, the sound cut-out for one second and then came back in in the uncompressed state. The difference was MASSIVE. It's still fairly noticeable on DDTS-100 though.
    Unless it's late and you don't want to wake other people, I suggest you get into the habit of pressing this each time you turn the decoder on. This way you will get the full whack of Dolby Digital/DTS's encoding - with the big booms and subtle background sounds heard as they were intended to be heard. Also check your DVD player's settings for a similar mode, I found that on mine the default was compressed, like the DDTS-100 is, after a year of owning this player, I suddenly found this setting, changed it.... and bejeezus it is better. :smileytongue:

  • Creative DDTS-100 Decoder Switchbox

  • Question about the DDTS-100

    Hey all,
    (I'm not sure if someone asked this already, but I'm gonna ask anyway :smileyvery-happy: .)
    I'm not sure if I read the features right, but does the DDTS-100 allow you to
    be able to listen to more than one input at once, say I'd be able to play music from a
    CD Changer and play a game of Half-life 2 and hear both of them.
    Thanks in advance,
    Brandon

    Stuffy,
    The DDTS-100 will only play from one source at a time. This is much in the same way that a component receiver works.

  • DVD audio and the DDTS--100

    Whenever i play7 a dvd audio cd through vlc player, the DDTS-100 doesn't detect it's DTS.
    Its the same with Power DVD, it doesn't detect DTS and so plays nothing.
    What am i doing wrong? When i play it through vlc, i have to use ned 6 or pro logic II.
    Thanks

    Not sure what you mean about disabling AC3. In audio controls i have set it to SPDIF.
    DVD movies work fine in VLC and Power DVD.
    Audio cd's that are encoded in DTS do not. They are not detected by the decoder, and doesn't set it to DTS like it does with movies that are encoded in DTS. (True DTS, not Pro-Logic II or NED:6).
    I've set in the options of VLC, to use SPDIF where possible, only it doesn't show when playing them. I only get the option of changing from mono, stereo, front and rear, and 5.1. When selecting 5.1, it isn't right, some sounds aren't audiable. Stereo isnt either. This makes me believe that the software is doing the decoding, not the DDTS-100, which must be true, as i only get the options of PLII and NED:6 on the DDTS-100 box, instead of it lighting up as DTS, DTS-ES etc.
    So what do i do?
    Winamp causes it to play white noise, as does Power DVD (which is set to SPDIF, evidenced by the fact it plays DTS movies fine) and WMP.
    Do you need seperate DTS audio codecs for Power DVD? I heard this may be the case but you have to pay, seems odd that you need to purchase seperate drivers for dts audio cds, yet the movie plays ok.
    Cheers

  • Price of DDTS 100 Decoder

    Hi
    Pl any one can tell me the Exact Indian Price of DDTS 100 Decoder. Thanks & Regds
    Balu

    Well if digital DIN isn't supported by the new speakers, you can't go fully digital. I don't even think the newer speakers have digital DIN anymore. The only digital connection you could use is the SPDIF link between the soundcard and the decoder, this would be used for AC3 passthrough. Other multichannel sources would have to be played through analogue connections.
    I've never owned Creative speakers so I can't recommend any, I use the Logitech Z-5500 which are pretty good, but expensive. The TD7700 system has a decoder included, if you got this set, you wouldn't need the DDTS-100.

  • DDTS-100 decoder and switch box

    Hello,
    Well, I'm just beginning(yea, I know another noob ) to get started in the home theatre experience. I bought the G550W 5.1 speakers and DDTS-100 decoder from Creative. My question is do I need to use the switch box as I want to hook things togther through my xbox360? And if not, does it matter which rca plug(red or white) goes into the subwoofer and center speaker plugs on the back of the subwoofer?
    Thanks for any possible help.

    you need to put the 360's rca plug into the decoder and the 3 minijack(orange green black) from the decoder to the subwoofer. the sattelite speakers need to be put in the subwoofers rca plugs!! if you want real surround sound you should get the component or vga able for the 360 because they have a digital optical output, you can connect it with an optical cable to your decoder and push the digital button. your switchbox is not needed
