Dd audigy decoding or dts software decodi

Is better listen dvd in dolby digital mode with spdif on software(decoding by audigy nx usb)or in dts software mode(decoding by powerdvd or windvd)?

The in-built DD decoder on the Audigy is in fact a sofware decoder. It shouldn't make any difference. The newer Audigy 2 ZS and X-Fi cards have DTS decoding in SPDIF mode as well.
DTS decoding on PowerDVD is to be avoided as it sounds different to all other DTS decoders (WinDVD/nVidia Purevideo decoder/Creative A2ZS/X-Fi decoder).
As to whether DD or DTS decoding is better, it's a matter of preference. DTS has more pronounced high frequency bass ( sounding sharper/crisper ) but Dolby Digital has better very low frequency effects (booms and stuff). It's very rare for DD and DTS to sound the same. One of the reasons is that DTS is always in "full range" mode where the volume difference between the quietest and loudest sound is great. To hear dialogue you need to put the volume up, which makes the loud booms and stuff even louder. DD has dialogue normalisation which keeps the dialogue loud audible at all times, adjusting the volume of all other sounds. DD has three modes of operation Quiet environment(late night/maximum dynamic range compression), Normal ( moderate compression ), Theatre mode( full range/uncompressed). Dynamic range compression is a feature of DD which allows it to reduce the volume level between the quietest sound and the loudest. In Full range it's quite close to DTS with the volume turned up on DD. In Quiet mode though I've noticed that DD's surround channels are somewhat subdued.
However bass in general sounds different between the two codecs. The bass and the loudness. That's the main difference.
People, mostly with high end gear, claim they can't hear the difference between the two codecs. But for people with el cheapo speaker systems in general usage they sound quite different.
My preference is for DTS.

DTS, AC3 Decoding Audigy 2Zs or PowerDV

Hello All,
Q. according to creative the Audigy2Zs has Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, but does anyone know if this is hardware or software decoding.
Q2. I have Powerdvd 6 deluxe with all the audio packs. Do you disable the Audigy2zs decoder or keep it on. Double the juice twice the power!?
regards,
AL

(Q) Apparently it is HARDWARE decoding.
(Q2)
Case : If you disabled DVD software decoding ("S/PDIF Out") and enabled your soundcard's AC-3 / DTS decoders, your soundcard will be responsible for AC-3 / DTS decoding.
Case 2: If you enabled DVD software decoding of AC-3 / DTS, then the DVD audio data will already be decoded into surround sounds before sending to your soundcard. In this case, your soundcard will ALWAYS receive uncompressed surround sounds, and there is NO DIFFERENCE in enabling / disabling your soundcard's AC-3 / DTS decoders.

Arstechnica: Creative lies on missing DTS/Dolby Decoding feature

Creative Says : "these functions are not supported at driver level in Windows Vista." This isn't true. When two of the driver files from a standard X-Fi card are replaced with two driver files drawn from a Dell-specific driver available at the company's support [url="http://support.us.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R44728&for matcnt=&libid=0&fileid=9372">web site[/url], DTS and DD decoding immediately reappear as options and function correctly."
"Creative might be able to get away with saying that DTS and DD decoding aren't enabled at the driver level for X-Fi and Audigy cards, but the functionality is clearly baked into the driver and is thus supported."
[url="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/2008033-creative-irate-after-modder-spruces-up-vista-x-fi-drivers.html">Arstechnica story on the Dolby & DTS Decoding scandal
[/url]
Below is my open letter to Creative about this situation ....
To Creative Executi'ves ,
I am a core customer, someone who has been purchasing your cards for years. Hear me out.
What you may not realize is this whole backlash about your drivers is not new, it has been building up slowly for months and has just now come to a head. With both my Audigy and more recently my X-fi Fatality card on XP, I have always used my Creative card as the center of sound on both my computer and my entertainment system. I took it for granted that after spending so much money on the ultimate sound card, that I could just plug in my cable box or dvd player into x-fi and my Klipsch speakers would hum. After spending so much money on computer speakers that would also double as my TV center speakers I was not about to buy another external decoder to do something I expect my sound card to do.
At first after moving to Vista I thought that this feature was eventually coming, that you were working diligently to get my x-fi's decoding capabilities back. Then month after month my expectations dwindled. Imagine my anger when I come to realize that this feature was purposely removed at the software level. That by simply adding two files from a x-fi dell driver that the feature came back. Then on top of it you pour salt into the wound by never fully explaining the reason why you removed these important features. Your explanation was simply that it was not supported and that PowerDVD would now handle all Dolby/DTS decoding. After months of waiting your explanation was far from sufficient. Imagine how annoyed i was trying to figure out how to get PowerDVD to actually decode something from an outside source , which it does not. In my case, and many others on this forum your explanation was lacking. Im going to take a leap and assume that something about Vista's DRM has prevented you from decoding Dolby & DTS. If that is the case why not come out and just explain it to your customers as such. Your lack of transparency on this issue has just been plain bad and now because of it you are angering your customer base.
Let me be clear, in my eyes, this situation has severely hurt your companies reputation and brand. The sad thing about this is that in the end this is not a story about lacking features. It's a story about a company with good products that just did not know how to effecti'vely communicate with it's customers. Will I ever buy another creative product again, I dunno. But I do know that this whole fiasco has decreased the chances that I will. If I do , it will most definitely not be one of your upper end products as I have always purchased in the past.
Im done with this rant, im going to play some Battlefield 2 with Ultra High EAX settings. Hey, at least they did not take away all my features like they did with those poor Audigy users

PawPaw, I feel your pain ! I currently own both an Audigy Platinum and a Creative X-fi Fatality. The main reason I purchased the upgrade cards which included breakout boxes is for the optical/digital in feature. As I say in my letter, I have, for years hooked up my DVD and cable box to provide my theater entertainment though my computer speakers. The setup worked great?
Creative in essence has retroacti'vely removed the feature that was the motivating factor in my purchase of their upper model cards. By making the decision not to add this "expected" feature on Vista (The default OS)? Creative, as I see it has in actuality removed a defining functionality from it's product line. It has made the front box with all it's special hook ups, pointless. Angering your enthusiast base is just not a good way to bring your company back into the green. If Creative had at least explained the reason for the feature removals, that's one thing. It would at least be a start towards improving customer communication.
It's sad to see such a staple in the tech industry go down hill so fast. While the company executi'ves in singapore are huddling around planning their company comeback.... Which is no doubt the next greatest thing high fidelity MP3 players . They ought to take some time out to think about the customer again because a company li'ves and dies on it's customers, not it's technology.

Very sloppy playback with AC3/DTS Hardware Decoding with

I just bought the Audigy 2 ZS (plain)
I tried playing back DVD movies using SPDIF output on PowerDVD and I get VERY VERY sloppy playback, both with AC3 and DTS audio.
I thought it should perform better than my previous SB Li've! 5.

Which settings are you using and what kind speakers do you have? If you have analog speakers, are you doing the decoding with the software or with the soundcard? Check for the card whether AC3 decoding is enabled (in the Device Controls). If it isn't, try enabling that and setting the DVD software to SPDIF instead. Or if it's enabled, set the decoder to disabled/SPDIF, and set the DVD software to 5. and see if it's the same.
If you're using digital speakers then both should be set to SPDIF (so decoders disabled).

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum not decoding A

I want to use my Audigy 2 ZS Platinum to decode AC-3 signals when I play DVDs. I have done everything the "Digital Connections, SPDIF and Dolby Digital Info" thread. I have verified the SPDIF passthrough is disabled in AudioHQ.. rather.. Use Installed Decoder is enabled. I am using Intervideo WinDVD 5 to play DVDs. In this software I have Digital (S/PDIF) out selected. I'm using the Creative wire harness to connect the analog connections from the audigy to my receiver and I have my receiver setup to use the direct analog inputs. When I play a DVD the dialog is faint and only comes from the front channels. If I tell InterVideo WinDVD 5 to decode instead of using the SPDIF out it sounds exactly like it should. The dialog is very clear and comes from the center channel and the rear channels also produce sound. I don't trust my receiver to decode so that's why I'm not using the digital out instead. It doesn't sound right.. why I bought the Audigy to do the decoding.
Using InterVideo WinDVD 5 to decode isn't an option for me to use for other reasons. It is a good test to make sure the Audigy is doing what it should. For whatever reason, the Audigy is not decoding the AC-3 signal properly. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? It really blows my mind. This isn't a new concept at all. I didn't expect to have problems with it.
Cheers,
Scott

$$$ I keep throwing money at this computer trying to get audio to work right. The Audigy 2 ZS Platinum was throwing more money at it... I'm not going to keep buying more and more stuff to get the computer to decode an AC3 signal properly. I'm going to see what other people do that works.
Is there a solution to get the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum to actually decode the AC3 signal?

Decoding a DTS file with X-fi xtreme mu

Hello, I got some .DTS files
I want to use the internal decoder of the X-fi xtreme music to decode it but I hear nothing. I have to use software decode, like VLC Media player, but.. **bleep**! I want the X-fi decoder to work with these files...
You know what program should I use to liste this files decoded with the internal DTS decoder of the X-FI?
thank you.

Ok, I've read the thread you mentioned and I have been able to send a .DTS file to my external decoder (logitech z5400) perfectly... and playing it with VLC player via software decoding... but how can I test the internal DTS decoder of the x-fi with this .dts file?
Ok now another "problem"...
I have a full DTS CD-Audio (not individual DTS files).
I think there are 3 options to play it:
-Using external DTS decoder sending the signal via spdif passthrough.
2-Using X-fi internal decoder (xtreme music model)
3-Using software decoder (Power DVD or VCL player)
I have only been able to listen to that CD with option 3.
optio ... If I try to play the CD with powerdvd and option SPDIF on, the external decoder identifies the sound is DTS but no sound plays at all...
option 2... another again I don't know how to try this using the X-fi internal dts decoder.
Thank you for your time.

Is and will hardware decoding of DTS be working in future driver releas

I have an Audigy 2 ZS card that when I had windows xp both AC3/DD and DTS Hardware decoding was working, now I have been running Windows Vista 64 ultimate with SP and using the recent beta drivers from creative I am getting Dolby Digital hardware decoding only but no DTS decoding from my hardware as like from before with XP, is anyone else getting hardware DTS decoding in Vista 64 or is this a feature still lacking untill the final driver release comes to be Available (crossing fingers) in July?

Creative T7700 and DTS-100 Decoder (PROBLEMS, PLEASE HELP)

Hi
I purchased a Creative T7700 Speaker system and DTS-100 Decoder the other week but so far have had no luck getting it to work. I use a Gigabyte GA-K8NS ULTRA motherboard which came with an audio combo kit that supports 7.1. I did everything the logical way, Connecting the black wire to black socket in speaker and red tabbed wire to the red socket in speaker, I then connected each speaker to the sockets at the back of subwoofer. Then I connected the audio cables (grey, blue, orange, black) from sub to the Decoder switch, then connected the other wires from switch to the audio jacks at the back of the PC(blue plug to blue socket, black plug to black socket, orange plug to orange socket), The I connected the hardwired plugs in decoder switch to the decoder. Finally, I plugged the mains power to the decoder and subwoofer but got no sound at all. I checked the 7.1 was set up on computer and it was.
HAS ANYONE ANY IDEAS WHY I GET NO SOUND? :smileyindifferent:
1. I know I have power cause the circular green light on volume and bass controller is on.
2. I have the decoder set to analogue and tried 1,2 and 3.
3. I have tried changing the decoder switch between decoder and PC.
4. I checked I have the decoder and subwoofer set to 7.1
5. I know it isnt a problem with computer or decoder because when I plug earphones into the green audio jack in either the PC or Decoder I get sound (Although I have the decoder switch set to "PC"meaning the decoder just sits there with its little green lights making no difference at all).
PLEASE HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM.
Thanks

I also am having this issue. Where I have installed the software for the M and after doing so I plug it in and get the Driver installation that fails to find drivers. If I try to open the creative explorer or the firmware upgrade released yesterday both say no device attached.

[SOLVED] [mpv] Fallback to software decode SLOW with vo_vdpau/vaapi

EDIT 02/01/2014: Since mpv 0.3.0, the opengl renderer, which works perfectly fine with software-decoding, now also works with vaapi/vdpau hardware-decoding, so just setting vo=opengl and hwdec=auto should really be enough to utterly avoid the problems I was having back when I made this post. A lot of the "info" I gave later on in the thread is also actually bogus, I'll tweak that in a second.
I've been reading the documentation for mpv, and there's something I can't quite figure out.
My CPU isn't especially powerful, so it's important for me to be able to use hardware acceleration where possible. I'm using the proprietary ATI driver; VLC works fine with VA-API, and since I discovered libvdpau-va-gl I've been able to get mpv to work using VDPAU. Obviously, some files (*cough*, Hi10P, *cough*) can't be hardware-accelerated, and this is where my problem/question comes in.
In my mpv config file, with
vo=vdpau
I'm able to play normal h.264 video effortlessly, but when HWaccel isn't available mpv falls back to software-decoding and software scaling (ffmpeg/swscaler, as per the console output). The problem is, with the CPU already working to decode the Hi10P content, my A-V desync skyrockets, and it's all a bit of a mess.
If I play the same Hi10P file with
vo=opengl
, then it doesn't desync at all. I checked the manpage and it says I can concatenate possible video outputs with a comma, and it will try each in turn. Obviously I'd like the not-hardware-decodable content to be rendered using OpenGL, rather than whatever causes them to get fed to "swscaler". So I set the config line to
vo=vdpau,opengl
. However - the opengl option never gets used! The non-HW-decodable files still end up being fed to swscaler, and as a result desync wildly, unless I manually set to opengl for that file.
Is someone here familiar enough with mpv to be able to explain why I might not be getting the behaviour I expect from listing multiple video outputs in the config file; or even better, how I can configure mpv to do what I actually want?
If there's somewhere else I should be asking this, please let me know. I couldn't find a dedicated mpv forum or anything (or even an IRC channel for questions), but I could have missed something.
Addition: Here are some console outputs.

So, I had a nice long conversation last night with some of the devs on the IRC channel (that I didn't find first-time-round somehow). I'll summarise this in bullet points:
>I'm using an ATI card with the proprietary driver
>I'm exposing VDPAU via a library that uses VA-API underneath
>the vo_vdpau mode for mpv continues to handle file playback even if the vdpau hardware decoder won't initialise
>>i.e. vdpau itself calls the software decoder, and then handles the calls to a software renderer
>because I'm using VDPAU in an indirect "wheels within wheels" library, it's slow as all hell
Solution:
UPDATE: READ THE POST BELOW, A BETTER SOLUTION HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED
>mpv-git has native VA-API support, vo_vaapi
>compiling and using this works perfectly
>the vaapi handler is able to much more efficiently handle the calls to software decoders/renderers
>8bit h.264 files play fullspeed using hardware decoding
>10bit h.264 files are automatically handed to software-decoding, and play (almost!) as well as they should (i.e. when directly calling vo_opengl or vo_xv)
Note that it's still a little slower than using opengl or xv, which is kind of odd. wm4 on IRC mentioned he might be able to do something about this, by implementing the (hackish, apparently) thing that VLC does, so that vo_vaapi doesn't have to use swscale (slow) before rendering; but I'll wait and see if that pans out.
TL;DR - People using the proprietary ATI driver should compile mpv-git and and use vo=vaapi
@Roberth: I actually did have that enabled, but whether it was or wasn't enabled didn't affect the problem I was having. After all, the problem was with vo_vdpau calling software decoding in an inefficient, roundabout way. vo_vaapi still isn't as efficient at this as it should be, it seems, but it's better than vo_vdpau was on my setup.
@kaszak696: As far as I was aware, sws=0 was the default behaviour, but I do recall forcing that at one point with no effect. Either way, my particular problem is solved/worked around now! Well, almost.

MPV: hwdec=vaapi fails and falls back to software decoding

I've always been confused by setting up hardware decoding - but a couple of recent threads reminded me of this nagging issue and I took another shot at it. Yet despite all the claims that mpv should support vaapi, it is simply not working here. I've followed the instructions here yet mpv falls back to software decoding every time. I've been searching for related issues, but I can't seem to find any reports from intel graphics users.
The output from mpv:
$ mpv --vo=opengl --hwdec=vaapi video.mpg
Playing: video.mpg
[stream] Video (+) --vid=1 (mpeg1video)
[vo/opengl/x11] X11 error: GLXBadFBConfig
[vo/opengl] Could not create GL3 context. Retrying with legacy context.

Mpv's man page suggests that vo=vaapi should only be used for old hardware, though it doesn't specify how old. I gave that a try too. That avoids the GLX error, yet still falls back to software decoding:
$ mpv --vo=vaapi --hwdec=vaapi video.mpg
Playing: video.mpg
[stream] Video (+) --vid=1 (mpeg1video)
libva info: VA-API version 0.37.0

My hardware:
$ lspci -vnn | grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2a42] (rev 07) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
I have all the drivers/packages listed on the intel graphics wiki page.
I must be missing something obvious here - the guides seem to suggest this should 'just work' yet mpv keeps falling back to software decoding.

I was hoping you'd chime in on this one Gusar. Thanks to both of your for the suggestions. So far no joy, though. I installed libva-intel-driver-g45-h264 and tried again and received identical output as in my initial post. I also tried xf86-video-intel-git which also gave no change.
To be clear, the video plays just fine, but it just relies on software decoding.
The output from vainfo from after the updates:
$ vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 0.37.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so

VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD
edit: for reference/comparison I removed the new packages and got the "pre" vainfo (then reinstalled the aur packages again):
$ vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 0.37.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit
As I'm pretty ignorant about video drivers, I'm curious if there are some video files that just would not be able to be hardware-decoded? I've tried a small number of different videos and am getting the same results with all of them, but if there are video-file constraints, are there any sample/testing videos around I should use for debugging?

Software Decoding vs Hardware Decod

I know this has been brought up in several other threads previous to mine (http://forums.creative.com/creativel...y.id=605#M2688) but so far, I haven't found out the answer to my questions. So, maybe if the moderators could participate in this topic as well, that'd be great.
I currently have a SoundBlaster Li've 5. X-Gamer and I just recently got Logitech X-530 speakers. I'm playing a movie, and I'm absolutely amazed how much better it sounds with a 5. system. I was using Power DVD 6.0 to play this movie and it was set to 6 channels, so I think this was <EM>software decoding</EM> and not hardware decoding. Or am I wrong? Anyhow, my question is as follows:
) What is are the differences between software and hardware decoding?
2) To use hardware decoding on my SB Li've 5., how do I enable it's
3) I'm not using a receiver, so is this really Dolby Digital?
Thanks for reading this.

"but so far, I haven't found out the answer to my question"
read the stickies.
"I was using Power DVD 6.0 to play this movie and it was set to 6 channels, so I think this was <EM>software decoding</EM> and not hardware decoding"
You're right
"What is are the differences between software and hardware decoding? "
CPU usage
"To use hardware decoding on my SB Li've 5., how do I enable it's"
read the stickies: be sure that your SPDIF setting is set to decoding and set your DVD software audio output to SPDIF.
"I'm not using a receiver, so is this really Dolby Digital?"
Dolby Digital is sound format as any other, so no relation with a receiver.

Software decoder for the tv @nywhere

Hi all, Did any of you owning the MSI tv-tuner card have found or thought about a software decoder, if you found any let me know.

DScaler can handle the video, but without tuner support for the MT2050, is rather silent.
Or am I missing something?
Still, what male can live without being able to 'channel surf'?
Now, if MSI had a Tech Support and they had any brains, they would be all over the DScaler developers, giving them every bit of data required to get this thing going.

Is there a difference between Audigy 2 hardware decoding and DVD/MPEG-2 software decodi

I have a capture card and run my PC as a part time HTPC. The audio and video is analog captured and MPEG-2 encoded by the card.
I have the Nvidia DVD/MPEG-2 decoder set to SPDIF(reciever) so it sends the audio stream directly to the Audigy 2.
When playing any of these recorded shows, the only way I get any surround sound on my 5. speakers is to have CMSS () turned on, and it's ok (but not as good as true DVD quality 5.).
What I am wondering, would there be any difference if I upgraded the Nvidia codec to the platinum version, which does software 5. decoding? Would it do a better job of decoding any Dolby Surround material?

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.

NO DTS/AC3 Decode DVD-A Full Software in vi

and X-FI EP costs me HK$30XX?should i back to XP?Very disappointed to creative

DVD-Audio never worked totally proper for me anyway through creatives driver. It was slightly better with Intervideo's WinDVD but not totally stable. Using Power DVD in Windows Vista & it works proper & is totally stable. All this to say the DVD-Audio feature in the Creative drivers was mostly a joke anyway. Get Power DVD. It works good for Wiondows Vista.

Dd audigy decoding or dts software decodi
