Dolby Digital 5.1 playback for output, now missing in iPad

Just last week i got new some movies from iTunes for playback on my iPad 2, including the HDTV. However since last 2 days i'm unable to find the 2 track option that appear during the usual playback on the iPad. There now seems to be no option where i select the DD 5.1 for output playback. (BTW the movies are encoded with Dolby Digital 5.1)

Can anyone please help me on this, if you guys can check is the 2-track option available while watching movies on iPad 2... or is it just me who is unable to find it despite these movies being encoded in DD 5.1

Hello, I own a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor with USB connection and would like to know when will be available a drivers for Windows Vista and Windows 7 where we have full support for using the Dolby Digital and DTS decoder, I mention because it seems that?this card is forgotten about the update of drivers and is a pity that it is?lack of the support.
Greetings and thanks in [email protected]

Ok, so I go to Creative Device Control, and on the PCI/USB tab I've changed the sampling rate to 48khz.
It was previously at 44.kHz
The bit depth is still at 6bit
Now the problem seems to be solved.
The problem was only with the output from the device. And now there are no skips!!
Excellent!
Why has that solved it though?
I've read on other forums (head-fi) that the audigy cards do not run at 44.kHz nati'vely so the sound has to be downsampled.
Is that skipping an artefact of that downsampling process?
Will having that set at 48kHz, but recording to a 44.kHz 6bit wav file theoretically reduce the quality of the recording - compared to having it set at 44.kHz and recording a wav at 44.kHz?
On the SPDIF tab the input sample rate is shown as 44.kHz - as that's what is output by the DAC in my minidisc deck.
But when I changed the sampling rate on the PCI/USB tab, the SPDIF output sampling rate also changed to 48kHz.
This means if I wanted to record from the optical output, whilst also recording to the computer, and that device only supported 44.kHz - I can't do that?
You listed some main reasons to the truth, why Creative SB cards are not very popular on serious use (DAW). I.e. need for resampling. X-Fi's in creation mode are (least said to be) the only ones not resample everything.
There is a setting for "Bit-Accurate-Recording" (digital modes only) --> have you tried if that works on your recordings?

Need Dolby Digital Plus audio driver for C560

My volume kept going up and down regardless of the program, so I uninstalled and reinstalled the Reaktek audio driver. Now I keep getting "Unable to start the Dolby Digital Plus audio driver. Please restart the computer or reinstall the driver if the problem persists." It's no longer in the device manager, so I can't update it through that. (The volume problem was fixed, however.) I've looked for the driver here, but only find them for other machines or tablets. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

I'm hesitant to refresh my system and lose all that data. I'd rather live without Dolby.
It seems to me the easiest solution would have been for Lenovo to simply give me access to the driver. As it stands now, I've uninstalled Dolby because it seemed my computer startup was delayed while Windows looked for the driver.

Dolby Digital Live upgrade availability for SB Audigy us

Hello everyone,
We understand SB Audigy users are eagerly anticipating the Dolby Digital Li've upgrade availability. We are still working on the development. Unfortunately, the work requires more time than anticipated earlier due to the difference in the Audigy product architecture vs the X-Fi product architecture as well as testing required to ensure stable and correct functionality. We estimate Dolby Digital upgrade for Audigy to be available in late Dec 2008. We apologize for the delay and are trying our best to release earlier if possible.
Thank you,
The Sound Blaster Team

Dear Sound Blaster Audigy users,
Dolby Digital Li've For Audigy users!
We are pleased to announce that the http://buy.soundblaster.com at US$4.72.

Selecting Simulator playback for output via DV camera

Hi, I'm trying to use a different window for viewing my DVD project in Simulator. I cannot seem to access "Digital Cinema Desktop Preview" which is specified in the manual. It says "The two choices are Simulator Window, which is the default setting, and Digital Cinema Desktop Preview, which actually selects your system’s second monitor, whether it is an S-Video monitor, an Apple Cinema Display, or any other appropriate display. See “Simulating With an External Video and Audio Monitor” on page 547 for more information."
on that page it says this:
"There are two common approaches to connecting an external video monitor:
• Connecting a video monitor to your computer’s S-Video output (if present)
• Connecting a second monitor to your system (if supported)"
Given that I have neither, but instead wish to use my DV camera through the 3rd-party app "Echo Fire", is there a way to force the video output from simulator into a DV camera [I'm authoring for SD-DVD now]?
Any help or other 3rd party "desktop extender" ideas would be helpful. Echo Fire seems to be a great option, but DVD studio pro doesn't seem to recognize it. I could test it on the Kona2 card here, but it's a little too high end, nor is it hooked up to an SD monitor for accurate SD previewing.
Thanks,
+odd

No way for third party application to direct Simulator output to a DV camera, even if you have Echo fire. What Mac model are you using?

I have been locked out of Imessage for week now on my iPad 4. When I try to out my passcode in to turn it back on its says there is an error, I am also locked out of FaceTime. RLY mad!!!! Help!

Does the digital optical input recognise Dolby Digital?

Hey guys,
I was wondering if you could help clarify something for me. I have an Astro Gaming A30 Audio System that I use when playing my PS3. It's a gaming headset with pinpoint-accurate 7.1 Dolby and Dolby Headphone surround sound. Here's a link to the web page if you want to know more about it - http://www.astrogaming.com/products/detail/80/A30-Audio-System/.
Now, at the moment I have the PS3 connected directly to the A30 Audio System with a digital optical cable. In the PS3 settings, I have it set to output Dolby Digital 5.1 as this is the format that the A30 Audio System uses. This setting is important because it's what gives me the surround sound in my headphones. Ok, we're almost at my question...
Recently, I've been thinking of buying a capture card so I can record my game plays and upload them to YouTube. The capture card that I'm thinking of getting is the Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro. Here's a link to the web page - http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/.
My question is - since there is no output on the A30 Audio System, and therefore no way to route the sound into my Mac from it, I need to first send the sound from the PS3 into the Mac (for recording) and then re-send the sound from the Mac into the Astro A30s (for listening). If I do this, will I lose the Dolby Digital format that was originally output from the PS3? I don't mind recording the audio in stereo, but it's essential that the Dolby Digital sound goes to the Astro A30s. Otherwise I won't have proper surround sound. And if you went to the website, you would have noticed that they're pretty expensive. So playing in surround sound is very important to me, as I paid top dollar for them.
Anyway, if you can clarify that for me it would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Daniel

Sure there's a difference it depends completely on the original sample rate of the audio recorded otherwise the best built in audio can do is 48/24, so trying to go out at 96 will force resampling[without a capable app running]. But in terms of resampling, if you use the card then you should be able to use 96/32.
Have you properly adjusted AMS settings; so that the card is in Properties at 96? Still the only governing factor there is whatever software governs the PCI card. I don't get the problem you're having here, what is the connection to the machine, optical?

Titanium Dolby Digital - Windows Volume Controls Not Function

I am extremely happy with the Titanium because it finally elminated the 4GB Snap-Crackle-Pop issues I've been having since I owned this motherboard.
However, I've noticed that when I enabled Dolby Digital encoding over an optical output the master windows volume controls and muting do not affect the audio output at all.
Using the master windows volume controls with the analog or unencoded digital optical outputs work fine. It is only when using Dolby Digital encoding that I see this strange behavior. In-game and application-level volume controls & muting work fine; it is only the master windows volume controls that are 'ignored' when using Dolby Digital.
I'm still happy to see Dolby Digital encoding on this card, and very pleased that I'm using 4GB now without crackling in games or during music, but hopefully this Dolby Digital issue can be fixed.
Have any other users observed this odd Dolby Digital behavior?

Unfortunately (for me) the two of you are correct and windows volume controls have no effect in Vista.
Auzentech has this on their FAQ:
Q : After installing the sound card and connecting it to my surround sound system using S/PDIF output, keyboard and Control Panel adjustments to Volume and Balance either do not work or have minimal affect. Is that normal
A : With Digital Audio output, output levels are controlled by the wave volume settings. Multimedia keyboards and remote controls only adjust the master volume. The third-party application "Volume Tracker" corrects the situation by linking wave volume and master volume. Volume Tracker is compatible with Windows 2000, XP and Windows Media Center.
I also found this article:
"Another direct consequence of transmitting a compressed audio signal instead of an uncompressed audio signal (more commonly known as PCM) is that the volume of that signal cannot be modified once it has been encoded. Because the bits in an encoded signal no longer directly correspond to the volume of that signal, it is impossible to increase the volume until it is decoded. This explains why your PC cannot control the volume of your sound when you are using Dolby Digital or DTS as the output. The connected device will be the only place where the volume can be changed."
http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archi've/2008/03/04/using-s-pdif-to-send-audio-from-your-pc.aspx
So it would seem that this behavior is not only intended, but apparently unchangeable in Vista. In XP there is a utility (Volume Tracker) that can fix this, reportedly. This utility has no effect in Vista.

Digital Sound Dolby Digital .. I miss Soundstorm :( (Neo4 Platinum)

Ok Im having EXTREME problems, Im so so so dissapointed in this motherboards sound (MSI Neo4 Platinum) When I saw that it had 7.1 I was sure it was dolby digital compatible, but its just this junky crap analog setup.... Now Ive been looking into sound cards, and I have no clue what to do..
From what I've read my old board (Nforce2 Ultra) was the only SOUnd chip, ONBOARD or SOUND CARD to have DOLBY DIGITAL ENCODING .. encoding = sends dolby digital 5.1 to my Home Theater setup.
I have a 7.1 Harmon Kardon, and with my nforce 2 ultra, the coaxial digital output to my surroudn receiver came in as dolby digital, and the sound was incredibly, now Ive got this crap hissing analog sound on a NFORCE 4 Ultra... I really hate Nvidia for their decision on dropping soundstorm, And now Im trying to to hookup my computer to my receiver to get digital and digital 5.1 ( I dont absolutely need 7.1 for my computer) .
Does anyone know of any sound cards that have DOLBY DIGITAL 5.1/ EX, DTS, ENCODING.. not decoding, all of them do decoding, but encoding .. from what Ive read.. is needed to output true 5.1 to my home receiver.

Quote from: master0068 on 11-February-05, 09:47:05
One thing that just blows my mind... is Why the **** did the dumb a$$es include Optical and Coaxial outputs on these boards.... (MSI NEO4 Platinum) and many other Nforce 4 ultra boards.....
I mean.. if they arent even dolby digital , and they dont even have ENCODERS, than why would you use digital ouputs???
Becuase PC's "evolve" and end up with "items" which where required once, but then become the PC equivelent of the human "appendix".
Your taking for granted that even dolby DECODERS have always been around. They wern't, and at first the only way to get surround from DVD' was to use the SPDIF to an external decoder.

Netflix Dolby Digital 5.1 gone after udpate

Hi,
Is anybody (or everybody) else having that problem ?
Last week I was playing Netflix movies in Dolby Digital 5.1 but now the same movies on the same hardware (Apple TV/ AV reciver) are not Dolby Digital anymore but only prologic.
Other Apple TV items (ie. movies, shows, itunes festival) have no problems streaming in 5.1.
It look like this happen at the time of the latest Apple TV OS update.
Is this a Netflix issue or a Apple issue ?
Tried to contact Netflix....they don't have a clue.
PS, I have the latest generation of Apple TV and I update my Apple TV OS last week (so i'm up to date).

I've encountered the exact same issue. Ever since the latest Apple firmware update I can't get the Netflix app to send a Dolby Digital signal to my receiver. I've tried everything but it just does Pro Logic II. This is for content on Netflix that I know is Dolby Digital 5.1 supported.
As you've said, Dolby Digital still works fine for other content (iTunes festival, movies, etc) but Netflix doesn't seem to trigger it. Something is not quite right with this firmware and Dolby Digital. I can't remember for sure now but I think that, before this firmware, my receiver always had the Dolby Digital light on when the Apple TV was on (even when on the home screen). It now seems to be Pro Logic II all the time except for specific content.

Dolby Digital and NFORCE2

To day I visited a computer fair where a vendor was selling the K7N2-L for £76.00 and the K7N2G-L for £96.00, but didn’t have the K7N2G-ILSR. I myself wanted to buy one of them but after thumbing both the manuals and peering hard at the motherboards the only obvious difference between them was the TV out option given to the K7N2G-L. I had a squint at the MCP chip on both boards but all that was written on them was nforce MCP. So I left with out purchasing until I find out a bit more:-
This is how I understand it at the moment, but I’m probably way off track:-
K7N2-L no TV out but will output Dolby Digital signal (probably through SPDIF) which needs to be fed to an external decoder and then to the speakers (like the Nforce1 K7N420 Pro (MS-6373)).
K7N2G-L with TV Out and as above.
K7N2G-ILSR with TV Out and an onboard Dolby Digital decoder which is then output directly to a 5.1 set of speakers without the need for a separate decoder.
Let me know what you think?

Ok then, All the boards come with realtek 6 channel audio ( 5.1) sound, but only the K&N2G-ILSR comes with the above and Dolby Digital 5.1 sound

Where is the power dvd dolby digital ex dts download?

can anyone tell me where to find the download for dolby digital dts power dvd for x fi extreme gamer soundcard? is this lost in cyberspace? please help me find my way. thanks, Andy.

When you play a movie the thing i like about the xfi soundcard is a small feature that creative introuced it tells me the audio stream its playing (an icon at the bottom near the clock) and it only displays for a few seconds.
Most moi'ves i brough advertise Dolby digital EX or DTS ES. When i play them i find mostly the creative decoder tells me otherwise. The creative decoder identifies the stream and displays it at the bottom and i find that most movies that advertise the DTS ES or DD EX are not Dolby digital EX or DTS ES but just dolby digital 5. or DTS 5.. The only movies i have so far that are dolby digital EX are starwars episode 5 and 6 (despite ,2,3 and 4 claim to be but not), the punisher, and the only DTS 6. so far is top gun (my movie collection is small as well). but unless the creative decoder is identiftying the audio streams wrong which i doubt i so far. only some of my movies state the correct audio stream on the dvd.
Have a look at the icon that appears when playing the movie and see if it says either dolby digital, dolby digital ex, dts surround or dts surround es, if its displays either Dolby Digital EX or DTS Surround ES then they are 6. streams if they are not then they are 5. which might be why your not hearing anything out the back speaker.Message Edited by Stargazer on 0-06-2006 :5 AM
