Ddts 100 is this normal

ok so far i have spent over ?600 to get a dolby digital system with some punch
Firstly i bought the s750 gigaworks speakers
then the audigy 2 zs platinum soundcard.
Now this should have been good enough to get dolby digital via optical out on dvd to optical in on audigy 2 zs live drive ( nope lip sync issue with no fix in sight)
So i buy the ddts 100, well actually i sepnt my money on another creative 7.1 speaker set that includes the ddts 100.
Set it up and yes i can now get dolby digital / dts etc.
But i got no switch box, your also suppsoed to get 2 (7.1) audio cables, I GOT it gets worse can someone that represents creative tell me, what sound quality i should expect whilst using the analogue stereo inputs.
Stereo is ok
But when i want to use dolby prologic or the neo to upload 2 channel stereo to 5.1 etc. in movie mode, cinema mode, music mode etc.
I get high frequency garbled noises from the speakers, it aint the speakers as i do not get these nosies using dolby digital, i only get these noises whilst using the prologic and neo, now i know this is not normal, as it would be pointless if this was supposed to happen, why is it all the creative geart i have bought is having troubles. Do you not think that someone who spends this amonut of money deserves to have hardware that actually works as intended.
The amount of hassle i have and for someone to say, that has a vested interest well mine does not do that. Do they just keep the good stuff for their workers and palm everyone else of with , sub standard, missing parts etc.
Whats going on?

The iPad 2 & 3 came with a 10W charger, the 12W didn't roll out until iPad 4.  But if the OP is using an iPhone charger, or anything that delivers less than 2A DC then that would explain the lengthy charge time (9 hours does seem rather long).

  • Decoder DDTS-100 + digital out(audigy 2)via coaxial

    hi, if i connect ddts-100 decoder with audigy 2 via digital out(coaxial), can i mix stereo sound to multichannel witch DTS 6 neo or Dolby Pro Logic II? and if i send via coaxial AC3(movie witch AC3 or music from winamp surround edition) sound ddts-100 recognize this signal and play at all channel?Message Edited by mariuszkom on 07-19-2007 10:41 PM

    Yes and Yes. I've found that it sounds better though to simply copy the front channels to the rear, which neither of those matrix modes will do. Your best bet though is to get a sound card that does dolby digital li've encoding such as the auzentech xplosion or ht omega striker.

  • DDTS 100 and stereo surround.

    Hi.
    I recently bought the DDTS 100 Decoder and I was wondering if I can have a stereo surround output (the two stereo channels from both front and rear speakers) from a stereo source via its analog inputs (such as an mp3 player) or another digital source via the coaxial input (ex. Boss GT6 Guitar multieffects processor).

    No, Im afraid the ddts-100 lacks this feature.

  • X200 CPU reaches 100 celsius degrees. is this normal?

    I'm using LenovoThinkVantage Toolbox to do a CPU stress test and and the same time I'm running TPFanControl to monitor the speed of the fan and the temperature of the CPU.
    When I run the CPU stress test the temperature of the CPU reaches 100 degrees celcius with the fan going at 7000rpms which all of it sounds excessive and not right to me. Is this normal? or there is something wrong with my system.
    Thanks in advance

    100C is around the maximum the CPU can deal with before sustaining damage.  Even then, running at that temperature for extended periods of time is most certainly going to be problematic.
    I can't imagine it was designed to be run that way, so I'm guessing there's a problem.  Maybe a heatsink is not seated properly, or something is obstructing airflow.  Either way, I'd say that if you're under warranty it's worth having the depot take a look.

  • CPU REACHES 99 DEGREES CELSIUS ON 100% LOAD IS THIS NORMAL?

    Hi, i have a HP ENVY 15-j171nr and evrytime i run a cpu intensive program where it puts the cpu to 100% load, My cpu temperature jumps to 99 degrees celsius and stays there. Is this normal? of could i have a bad heat sink? Intel rates the CPU (i7-4700k) to 100 degrees celsius.

  • Is this normal?  I've lost 100 Gigs of space on my hard drive.

    The main drive in my MacPro is a 240 Gig hard drive.
    I total up all the folders at the top level, and it totals only 84 Gigs. Yet it says there is 30 Gigs available.
    There is 55 Gigs being used up for vm. Only one user account, me. One partition.
    So there is about 100 Gigs unaccounted for.
    I would normally expect some space taken up with hidden files, but 100 Gigs is a bit much.
    Is this normal?

    Those programs are great, but do have some limitations and may not find your missing space. Take a look at the article I wrote on disappearing drive space for some more suggestions:
    http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/TigerMisc.html
    If all else fails the Terminal commands given should locate the bloat. And if you have other user accounts, be sure to check them. People often find surprising things in a forgotten account (one fellow found two iTunes libraries sitting in another user account).

  • Using iPhoto create a book. X-lg 100 pgs. Uploading for 4.5 hrs. Is this normal?

    Using iPhoto 08 I created an extra large photo book. The upload process began around 5pm. It is now close to 10pm. Is this normal?

    Uploading speed is based on your internet connection upload speed. Most all residential broadband accounts have a much slower upload speed then the download speed. Most of the time what you are uploading is a Request to either Download something or to Load a Web Page. Both take very little bandwidth. When you are uploading tons of photos, and depending on how large each photo file is ( The file Size), the upload can take several hours.
    This is completely normal.

  • Connectivity 5.1 to ddts-100

    Can ne one help me? I got the decoder since last 20 days. Not getting the sound effects the way i wanted it. I m haivng philips 5.1 sonic edge sound card (psc605), and 5.1 inspire 5200 creative speakers and got new ddts-100. When i connect ddts-100 through my sound card i cant see LED of DOLBY and DTS fucntions on. I cant use or go the selection of DTS or DOLBY on decoder, even by pressing the appropriate switch on ddts-100. My motto for decoder is to play mp3 songs and music on PC. i dont want to run DVD or ne external sources with the decoder.. Well i can say.. with or without decoder sound effects stays normal. No change in sound effect. Well i m not sure, but i did analog connection and Coaxial connection with the pc. but still DTS and DOLBY function inactive on decoder. I can access movies , music, cinema modes from decoder selection.. but tat's no meaning to hear with that. I want DTS and DOLBY. Please advice me if there's ne extra cable needed or nething else must needed.. please specify exact thing to get these kind of setting on my decoder.

    Ok, I will start from the beginning with the basics:
    The DDTS-100 is a decoder. This means, it can only decode a signal and put it through to a speaker system. It is NOT an effect box, a soundcard, anything else than a decoder.
    What do you get with the DDTS-100? The main unit, switchbox, cables.
    How should you connect everything? You connect the switchbox to the main unit. Then, connect the soundcard's analog outputs to the switchbox. Then the speakers to the switchbox. Then any peripheral components such as DVD player, X-Box or the soundcard's digital out to the main unit.
    Now what?
    You have two settings on the switchbox. Why? Because as we have said before, most digital out soundcards can only produce 2 types of signals digitally. That is a PCM Stereo signal or an encoded data stream (either DD or DTS). If you play a stereo source such as an mp3 file and send it out as a pcm stereo signal you will only hear it from the left and right front speakers. So if you want to send discrete multi channel audio from your soundcard you have to use the analog output and set the switchbox to PC-mode. This effectively bypasses the DDTS-100 and plays the sounds directly from your soundcard to your speakers. However, if you have a dolby digital signal or a DTS signal coming from the computer, you can set the switchbox to Decoder-mode, the soundcard to SPDIF passthrough and digital out and the DDTS-100 will take the DD or DTS signal and send them to the corresponding speakers + light the DD or DTS on the main unit. Make sure to connect the soundcard with a coaxial cable, an analog output cannot send out encoded data streams. The DDTS-100 will decode the data information and send the sounds out to the correct channels. It will not do anything else. It is not made to do anything else. The best thing when listening to music and games is to do it in PC-mode using the analog outputs of the soundcard. You can, if you really really have to, play it in decoder mode and use either neo:6 or dolby prologic II on the main unit to upmix the stereo source.
    AC-3 is not a music format. I doubt you will find any ac-3 encoded music files since mp3 or wma are the most common formats. Your best way of finding AC-3 material is on a DVD.
    I think the best thing for you is to find out what the DDTS-100 is meant to do, and what it is not meant to do.

  • Problem with subwoofer on DDTS-100

    I have bought the DDTS-100 decoder recently. I have a DVD with optical output and Luxeon LogicFox T5.1 Home Theatre system. When I connected everything there is no subwoofer. The other channels work fine, except the subwoofer. Yesterday I returned the decoder to the computer store where they connected it with some creative speakers, and the subwoofer worked. But why I can'y get no subwoofer on my non-creative speakers?

    Normal decoders take a slice of the bass from the other channels and put that through the sub woofer as well. This is called a "bass management" feature. The Creative decoder does not do this.
    Most speakers will only put sound through the subwoofer if they get a signal directed to the subwoofer itself from the decoder. Creative speakers, on the other hand, take a slice of the bass from all the signals and put it to the subwoofer. You can test this by hooking up a CD player to the L/R input jack on Creative speakers. You'll get subwoofer output even though the subwoofer channel is supposed to be dead.
    So, if you've got a normal decoder hooked up to normal speakers, it'll work fine, sending some of the bass from everything to the subwoofer. A set of Creative speakers hooked up to a Creative decoder will do the same thing. However, if you mix and match the systems, you'll get odd behaviour. A Creative decoder with non-Creative speakers will give you none of this bass-redirecting.
    I believe this sort of design is called "manufacturer lock-in", intended to make you use Creative products in conjunction with other Creative products rather than their competition's.
    Edit- You SHOULD get bass when a DVD etc. is sending a signal specifically to the subwoofer channel, though. Try to find a DVD with an explosion in it and see if you get any bass during the blast. If you aren't then your sub may be borked.

  • Battery and Sleep issues. Is this "normal"?

    Hey guys, ever since day 1 My new MBP has been experiencing the sleep issue where in sleep the battery would lose about 1-2%/hour. I would go to sleep with the battery at 100%, and wake up to only about 87%. Also, when it was new the battery had about 4650 for full charge capacity, now its showing only 4540 after 10 cycles!!! Is this normal? Please help my MBP is less than 2 weeks old I have owned the previous MBP model, and the battery life during sleep was considerably better than this, and also it took less time to charge the battery!
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 3463
    Fully charged: No
    Charging: Yes
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 4540
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 10
    Condition: Good
    Battery Installed: Yes
    Amperage (mA): 881
    Voltage (mV): 12070
    *I have also just updated the upgrade to 10.5.6. Will update and report if this will help with the sleep/battery issue.
    Thanks for your help!

    Reset the SMC (System Management Controller) and re-calibrate the Battery then see how it behaves ...

  • Battery percentage indicator takes a little while to update when resuming from sleep - is this normal?

    Hi folks,
    I recently bought a new MacBook Pro with Retina (13") and have noticed a pecularity with the battery indicator that I'd appreciate an opinion on please.
    I've charged my MBPr battery to full (100% on the menu bar and green light on the MagSafe connector). I disconnect the power and close the lid which puts that MacBook to sleep. After leaving it overnight, I open the lid and and the unlock screen shows the percentage battery having gone down by a couple of percent (which I take to be normal) - e.g. 98%. However, when I unlock and get back to the desktop, it's still showing as 100%. Clicking on the battery icon, it shows as calculating the amount of time left. After about a minute or so, it tells me how much estimated time I've got left, and the percentage indicator updates to give me the correct percentage. When using it normally, the percentage indicator drops on the desktop as I would expect it to.
    Is this normal for it to give the correct percentage on the unlock screen, but then to give the original (pre-sleep) percentage when unlocked, until it has updated and worked out how much time it's got left on battery?
    I've read elsewhere that many folks have been having issues with the battery indicator since Mavericks rolled out, and there are some resets that can be done by pressing various key combinations whilst powering on. I've had the MacBook only a few days, and haven't installed anything on it - it hasn't even been connected to the internet yet - so I assumed that it should be working correctly from the off - unless there's something buggy with Mavericks causing this?
    I would normally shut down a computer overnight, but I like how the MBP instantly resumes when I open the lid. Am also wondering whether it'll take a few charge cycles before the battery reaches full capacity and is properly calibrated. The system report shows that it shipped to me having undergone only 3 charge cycles to date.
    Any opinions would be much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Gopha

    After some more testing:
    Disabling the battery percentage indicator and then re-enabling it causes the percentage value to update to the 'correct' value. Rebooting the MacBook also causes it to update to the correct value.
    Seems like I'm not the only one with this particular issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24402123#24402123
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24406197#24406197
    as a newbie to Macs and Mavericks, am I right in saying that there is currently an issue with Mavericks?
    Thanks,

  • Creative inspire 5300 5.1 with DDTS-100

    Hello i'musing these set of speakers for 2.6 years and now decide tobuy decoder DDTS-100 but there is a problem ca't connect them and creative labs are saying this decoder is compatible with all speakers from creative !!!
    Any information how to connect will be wellcome many thanks
    Filipe Valente

    Just connect them using your speaker audio cable from the decoder audio outputs jack to the speaker system audio inputs jack. The decoder user guide should also cover some simple guide for connection too which you can refer to.

  • 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.

  • PC and DDTS 100 simultaneously

    Hello,I have an actually simple problem I can't solve with out help...here it is:I want to connect my PC Soundcard (Creative X-Fi xtreme Music) and the Decoder DDTS-100 to my Soundsystem GigaWorks S750. I realized this through the use of the Switch Box accompanying the DDTS-100. But: With this box I only can choose between PC Audio and the Decoder, thus it's not possible to listen to both of them simultaneously. What can I do?

    Hello everyone. I just responded to a post in 'speaker systems' regarding the S-750. Read that for more details.
    Anyway, I have the DDTS decoder with the S-750. It really rocks!!!!! Better than most mid level home entertainment systems!!!
    I have all the connections filled on the decoder (Analogue, optical etc. to various things) It is not connected to my computer. It is my home entertainment system. My setup is where I have all the device vollumes set to there highest levels including the S-750 and I use the decoder to manage vollume levels.
    The only problems I have had so far are 2.1 Once the decoder turned off when I touched it (Static elec. I guess) The other was I turned it on and no sound came through. I cycled the optical selection and it came on.
    How is everyone else doing? I had the system for about 3 months now.

  • Centre channel problem with DDTS-100

    I have a set of Gigaworks s750 speakers connected to my PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 via the DDTS-100 decoder; up until yesterday this was all working fine. Having moved some of the gear around to accomodate my new desk, I plugged everything back in and found that the sound from the front centre channel is muffled and/or quieter than the other channels.
    The speakers themselves don't seem to be the problem as the PC (which is connected via the switch box included with the decoder) sounds fine but the problem persists with both the PS3 and X360.
    My first thought was that I'd pulled one of the cables loose while rearranging the furniture but I've re-plugged everything in several times since with no joy. I've also tried changing the spdif cables and switching the sockets around, as well as removing the switch box and plugging the speakers directly into the decoder but nothing made any difference.
    Has anyone ever encountered anything like this before and/or could offer any suggestions?
    Any advice would be much appreceated.

    I finnaly found out my problem
    The buzz came out from my coax cable from my DVD. My DVD player was probably inducing 60Hz on the coax output.
    I switched to the optical output and no more buzz.
    I'll need to buy a new toslink cable to plug my x-box on the optical input #2
    Also I pluged my TV audio out in my st analog input, it also induced a 60 Hz on my DDTS-100. The decoder does not seem to filter out electric noises.
    I'm pretty happy to have found out my problem but I'm very dispointed that the DDTS-100 does not filter any electric noises.
