DDTS-100 Issue - PC Switchbox Works but Stereo Input to Decoder does not

I recently sold a DDTS-100 to someone on eBay. It was working fine for me when I shipped it. I had an XBOX, PS2, PC, and TV Tuner connected to a Creative Inspire P5800 5.1. The new owner states that the PC works fine with the switchbox, but when switched to "decoder" he gets no audio from stereo inputs from his XBOX. Anyone have recommendations or link to a site, forum post, or other, for him as far as root causing the issue?

Yes, I read it here: http://www.ausmedia.com.au/Creative%20DDTS-00.htm
I was thinking, the only way I can think of doing this, and I'm not definately sure you could either, is to connect a 7.1 sound card to the switchbox of the DDTS-100 decoder with a 7.1 audio cable (lime green, black, orange and grey), with only the standard 5.1 connects (lime green, black and orange) going to the switchbox, and the grey/side speaker connect going into a pair of active speakers or a hi-fi. As I say, I'm not sure - but maybe this is something along the lines of what they meant? Other than that, maybe the reviewer was high at the time! :manvery-happy:

DDTS-100 + i-Trigue 5600 + CH-DVD 462 center channel issue? Please help...

Hi there,
I'm having some problems with this setup.
My DVD player is set to RAW output.
All cables are connected properly (checked, double checked)
When playing most 5.1 content (Dolby Digital track from DVDs) surround works perfectly except for the center channel. It's completely deaf. If I set the decoder to Stereo output, it works, so I know it's not the speakers. I tried some tests (7.1 THX Optimizer tests present on some SW DVDs) and the center channel works here (but the other ones are sort of messed up), so I assume it's not the decoder either.
I tried the center/sub switching cable that came with my last speaker set, and though it does switch the channels (I can hear mumbling dialogs in the sub channel) the center channel remains deaf.
So I know that the sound actually makes it out of the DVD (RAW is RAW) to DDTS-100 and from DDTS-100 to the speaker set (yep, the signal's here but I can't hear).
I should mention that I used competetive speakers before and had a similiar issue with the subwoofer channel - it made sound only for the LFE DVD channel as those speakers were not doing subwoofer channel computing (AFAIK Creatives do (bad bad bad bad)), but I assume DDTS and i-Trigue 5600 are supposed to be compatible...
I'm completely puzzled. Any suggestions?

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

Creative DDTS-100 Crackling Issue

So I've been using a DDTS-100 decoder for about a year now. However, when I first turn it on, I almost always get crackling. To get rid of this, all I need to do is turn it off and back on again (perhaps several times), and it only seems to occur on the optical inputs.
I read that this is a fairly common issue. Was there ever a fix for it's

Anyone?

DDTS-100 & Gigaworks 7.1 Problems

Hello all,
I've recently moved, and installed my DDTS-100 with Gigaworks 7.1 on a new TV which is also attached to a new cable jack. I have it set to 6.1/7.1 on the DDTS and 6.1->7.1 upmix on the Gigaworks. I'm bothered because I cannot get the sound to come out of all the speakers. I hooked the TV audio out into Analog on the DDTS-100, and I am accepting the stereo channel, but when I turn it on, sound only comes out of the middle speaker when Dolby or NEO:6 is selected. I can select stereo, and sound comes out of the front two, but not the middle. I miss NEO:6. Does this mean that my cable is only providing a mono signal? Is there something I might do?
Also, I just recentl got an XBox 360. I hooked it up optically to the DDTS-100. When I leave it upmixed from 6.1->7.1, sound only comes from the front and side speakers. When I change it to 5.1->7.1, it comes out of all of them. This does not seem correct as the DDTS-100 is set to 6.1. Do I have anything wrong here as well?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris,
Firstly, If you are getting audio with the THX optimiser, and via other DVD's, it doesn't appear to be hardware related - logically, the hardware can only output what is actually put into it (i.e. the audio datastream via the software)...
...Meaning this issue probably originates from the software 'encoding' on the disc itself. As you say, it won't actually be a direct fault with just your DVD e.g. a scratch or something similar. However, it seems to be how the disc has been encoded, but I can't be certain :smileyindifferent:
Anyway, hope that's of some help & you get it sorted whatever it turns out to be.

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).

DDTS-100 Switcher Alternative?

Hello, I recently purchased a Creative DDTS-100 Decoder, and could not be happier with it. Unfortunately it was a refurbished model missing the switcher box (PC/Decoder to Speakers) and Remote Control. The remote is inconsequnetial as the decoder is not more than a few feet from me, however, the switcher box is considerably more important. Due to my X-fi being unable to output 5.1 (to my knowledge) on any socket other than the 3x3.5mm stereo on the back of my PC, I have to change the plugs every time I want to use full 5.1 on my PC or decoder. I am aware that the X-fi card is unable to output full 5.1 over the SP/DIF out, Optical out or flexijack in Vista due to hardware issues.
My question is, is there any way to hook up the DDTS-100 and my X-fi to my 5.1 headphones (also using 3x3.5mm) with adapters, or is there another product which will allow the same functionality as the DDTS switcher?
Thanks for any help.

You might want to consider a low cost home theater receiver and connect the satellite speakers directly to the receiver. You'll probably have to make your own cable to use the line level output from the receiver's subwoofer channel to the Megaworks subwoofer. Just be careful not to overdrive those little speakers with the receiver. As an added benefit, you'll probably get much better sound quality as well.

DDTS-100 and S750 Installation / Test Mode Question

I got a DDTS-100 decoder for Xmas and just bought the gigaworks S750's yesterday to replace my old DTT-3500. I plugged the decoder and sub for S750 into the wall and hooked the two up via the 7.1 cable. I then plugged the front and centre speakers into the sub. I'm not going to set up the side and rear speakers for a couple of days as I'm painting. Anyways, I then powered on the sub (green light comes on) and the decoder (it lights up fine). The decoder is set to 5.1. There are no other inputs hooked into the decoder. Then using the remote I hit test mode, the decoder goes in to test mode but I get nothing out of the speakers. I've cranked the volume way up and still get nothing. Do I have to plug all seven speakers in for test mode to work? Do I have to have an analog or optical input, or should test mode just work by itself. Do I have to plug in the little control centre which comes with the S750's, I didn't bother because I have the decoder.
Any ideas on why I'm not getting any sound? Any other suggestions of things to try?
Thx.

Thx, that resolved the issue, I didn't think I'd need it because I had the decoder which basically does the same thing.
One question about the upmix. Because I am using the DDTS-100 with the gigaworks S750's, does it make more sense to enable the upmix through the control centre for the speakers or through the DDTS-750. Would it make more sense to use the S750 as there are a couple of different upmix modes there?
Also, with the volume control for the speakers, should I just set the volume on the Control Centre which came with the speakers to a level such as 75% and then use the DDTS-100 to control the volume levels after that, or should I crank the Control Centre up higher?
Thx.

DDTS-100 + Inspire 7.1 T7900 + STAR WARS EP3 DVD

Hi
A month ago I purchased the DDTS-100 decoder with the T7900 speakers to use it on my TV when watching DVD's. I have been really satisfied with those 2 products considering the price.
But I have an issue that I don't understand. I bought Star Wars Episode 3 DVD. Last night when watching the movie I realised that no sound came from the rear speakers. On the decoder the green led was on "Digital Surround". The only sound option on the DVD disc is English Digital Surround EX.
I then ran the THX Optimizer on the dvd just to test and there sound came from the rear speakers but in the movie nothing, no sound from rear speakers. When I put another DVD in my player the rear speakers work.
What could be the issue here? I doubt it's a dvd error. Is it the decoder that don't support Digital Surround EX or something. Is it something new? I really don't get it.
Is anyone experiencing the same problem or understands what is going on?
Thanks in advance.
Christophe

Surround sound quality of DDTS-100 Vs A/V receiver's

I want to buy a decoder DDTS-100 to Upmix the stereo sound to 5.1 surround by hooking up to my A/V receiver Harman Kardon AVR 7000 as the surround sound upmixed by the AVR is not so good. Could anyone help give me the advice if the DDTS-100 could give the better surround than Harman Kardon does?

I think that you are out of luck as the table shows on page 62 of your manual at http://www.docs.sony.com/release/BDPS350_US.pdf
Note 1 on this table says "When Audio Output Priority is set to stereo analog, LPCM 2ch signals are output from each jack. I would check this setting. I would also check out notes 2 and 4. According to their own table, the player should output bitstream in 5.1 D or DTS.
Out on http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1046952&page=3 it appears that another person is having the same issue and someone recommended this:
Double check the following settings:
Audio Output Priority: HDMI
Audio HDMI: Auto
BD Audio Setting: Direct
Audio ATT: Off
Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital
DTS: DTS
Audio DRC: Standard
Hope this helps....

DDTS-100 Remote codes?

I finally jumped on the band wagon, and got an HD TV. I rarely use my Megaworks 650 system on my PC for its worth, so I'm moving the 650s to the living room to use with the home theater.
Just bought a Samsung 46" 650 series TV, and will be running it from Charter's HD Moxi box.
So, my issue is, when I'm watching TV/Movies, I do not wish to add another remote to the mix to adjust volume. Does anyone know of what the DDTS-100 remote might emmulate, so I can program the MOXI remote to control the volume?
The Moxi Guide is:
http://www.charter.com/Visitors/GETBINARY.xbin?ID=605
Charter is scheduled to swap out our non-HD Moxi to the HD version on Thursday. Their guide has an "Programming by search" feature, but looks to be timely.
Seems like it would be easier to know what the Creative remote might emmulate.
Thanks in advance.

Creative Decoder DDTS-100 parts list ??

'Creative Decoder DDTS-100 parts list mspecifially the value for the capacitor "C06 "? this one is at the front of the unit.
or if any one still has a working DDTS-100, and they don't mind taking it apart to read the value of this cap, that would also work as well.
also, maybe? some one could also help me with the issue i have. regardless of the source, both headphone jacks on the front work as they should, the issue is with the audio outputs on the back, center/sub, rears , and the front right, no sound output, the front left, has sound output but it is very faint only can be heard when all volumes are set to max. could this be releated to the possible missing capacitor, C06 ? or could this be related to something internal, like one of the wire connectors that connect each board to each other ?
ANY help would be awesome, thanks :-)

Any information how to connect will be wellcome many thanks

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.
