Dolby Digital input on the Audigy 2 Platinum P

I'm purchasing a component VGA converter so that I can play my video games on my monitor's screen, but I was wondering, does the sound blaster audigy 2 platinum pro support Dolby Digital input from these types of devices? And in order to do so, what devices, cables, and such would I have to purchase?

If it is a ps2 I think they have a opiocal out which you could plug into your optical in.

I CAN'T RECORD INTO CUBASE SX 3 THOUGH MY OPTICAL INPUTS ON THE AUDIGY PLATINUM EX SOUND C

Hi
Can you tell me how I can get sound into cubase sx 3 via the Audigy Platinum ex optical card? I have an optical output on my seperate mixing desk whic I have linked to the optical input on the card, but I just cannot get any signal into cubase. If I attempt to record using the creative software recorder - it works perfectly! As soon as I turn on cubase sx 3, it just doesn't work. Have you got any suggestions please.

Dolby Digital Live and Old Audigy Platinum Card

I have an now well aged Home Brew Computer based on an Asus P4PE MB, 2.4 Ghz P4, gig ram, SATA Raid 0, Plenty of HD free space. I went on a campaign to speed up the old beasty a little before I start thinking of a replacement some months down the road. I picked up a NOS (New Old Stock) Audigy Platinum Sound Card to lower the load on the processor and give me some more options like a digital input that my built in AC97 didn't have.
The SB Card worked pretty well at first. Hooked it up to an inexpensi've home theater I have in the room through its digital (front panel SPDIF) and we were off to the races. It all worked great. The sound was excellent, the system seemed to work better. The only problems were related to the usual issues with using a home theater with a computer digital output.
Along came the latest release of the driver and the Dolby Digital Li've. Now I seem to have the following issues:
Use DDL and you can't lock it into a 96K sample rate affecting sound quality
Many music files I was playing just fine now have what I guess could be termed "blanking." You get some very quick blank spots. Just an instant each time but enough to wreck the fun.
CTAIdSvc.exe is running all the time and eating processor resources. A quick check with the task manager sees it gyrating from 3 to about 3 percent continuously. This is at all times regardless of any use of sound.3% is bad enough. Running over 0% is no good.
Soooo, now I look to see if I can do a comparison between with and without DDL installed. Uhhhhhhhh, where is that part of the thing installed? Seems not to have anything in add\remove programs.
Also, what is with all the other stuff running related to this sound card. Licensing application? CT Helper, Ctsvccda, etc..
I'll probably try to remove the driver by re-running its install then try it with and without the Dolby thing. Maybe reinstalling the driver removes DDL

First of all it is not personal. I have nothing against you guys, your're not responsible for drivers development/testing. I'm fed up mostly with all those responsible for releasing buggy software without making proper checks if it will work. I know that you cannot say anything but I believe these guys are giving you headache as well; they don't have to listen complaints and deal with angry customers. First thing I would do is to get rid of your test manager . Releasing something without doing proper tests is just unacceptable; especially when product is suppose to reach thounsands of customers. Could you at least tell if driver developers were informed about this issue and trying to solve the problem? I'm buliding new machine and have to consider change of my soundcard; such information would very usefull. Cheers.

X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro cannot see 5.1 Dolby Digital input via Optical link (mods, please he

X-Fi Fatalty Pro cannot see 5. Dolby Digital input via Optical link. I am pumping my Xbox360 through the Digital I/O dongle and every thing works OK using Dolby Stereo, outputing to my 5. analog speakers. However, it does NOT work when choosing Dolby Digital 5.. My SPDIF tab just says unknown input.
Please help, this is very frustrating...

Ok, for those who also wanted to know the outcome, I though I'd post.
I was told that the dongle cannot decode 5. to analog, but the Dri've Upgrade and the Console Upgrade could (at $80/$80 vs. $5).
Great.
So what I want to know is this:? what chipset or connection is Creative putting in the Dri've Upgrade and Console Upgrade? It seems to me that the card should be doing the decoding, not the type of optical port. If it's getting the signal, then what is the problem? Is is that the flexijack cannot output/input 5. at all, only stereo?
Anyway, the Digital I/O dongle is going back, the thing is useless for my purposes. While I can hear 360 games fine, DVD's on it default to 5. if they have that type of audio, and there is no way to switch it to stereo; it gives me only silence then.
And mods, nothing in my frustration is with you; you seem to be very helpful and responsi've. I just wish the rest of the company would get on the ball.

What exactly is the Digital Out on the Audigy 2

Ok, here's my situation... I bought an Audigy 2 ZS as it was advertized that it came with a digital output, which I knew I'd need in the future. I never really gave it much thought until now (when I need it) and just assumed that it was a digital coaxial output (rca), but this is not the scenario.. It's a... I don't really know what it is. Is it basically a monoral /8 plug that ouputs an unadultered digital signal? Or is it a pre processed digital signal. My main questions are A) Is the signal PRE DAC or some post DAC ADC conversion that's processed only for Multimedia speakers? B) if it is a basic monoral Digital output like most digital coaxial outs, what's the impedance on it's
These are the kind of things that should be discussed in the manual.
This is the application I'm looking for.
I have a Cal audio labs Sigma II Tube based DAC. It's currently hooked up to a dvd player and a dedicated CD player. Both are on a TOSLINK switch based system. They are both in a dorm room right next to my computer. Since the external DAC GREATLY improved the sound quality of the relati'vely low priced CD/DVD players, I assumed that it would in all probability do the same for the Audigy 2 ZS (after all, let's not lie, the DAC's on the audigy 2 zs do have hardware problems converting 44. khz signals to the nati've 48 khz format, which is rather annoying to remedy with software, and even then is not 00% infaliable.
Bottom Line_______
The Cal audio labs DAC has a 75 ohm digital Coaxial input. Will I be able to hook my audigy 2 zs up to this using a monoral /8 plug - mono RCA adapter? or will I have to find another card?
Thanks for any help you can provide, and I appologize for the curt nature of this message. I was just disapointed today when I was hooking up the DAC and realized that there was no direct route to the Audigy.

Ornlu,
The /8'' minijack digital output is used for multiple types of digital output (Multichannel DIN and S/PDIF) which requires an interface that can work for both and also fit on the card itself. An /8'' minijack connector provides all of these. The output from this connector is either DIN (the kind of digital connection that many of our speaker systems use for multichannel digital connections) or S/PDIF. For more information on what this connector supports and what to expect read this article:
http://us.creative.com/support/kb/ar...p?l=2&sid=5764
You will also want to enable S/PDIF Bypass on the Decoder tab of Device Controls. (Start/Programs/Creative/Audigy 2 ZS/Audio HQ/Device Controls)
This should get you set up.

As specified in the DDLi've sales page, the above are the versions of the software that are required for DDLi've.

WMP Dolby Digital 5.1 with Audigy

I've never used software DVD players before. WMP will play the video portion of a DVD movie, but no sound at all. All other sound functions work. I'm wondering if something else is needed to get WMP to play sound from movies, or should I just get Win DVD or something?

Just finished updating the BIOS. Still no 5.1. The properties shows it supports Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD The Speaker setup gives options for 5.1 Configuration but the only config I can get to play audio is Stereo. My receiver suppports Dolby Digital and DTS and other devices connected work fine. Thanks for your help so far. Any other ideas?

Room for case inputs on the audigy

Hi there,?I'm looking at getting an audigy 4 but I can't see if there is a place to plug in my cases 3 front inputs. The mic, the headphones out, and speaker out I think they are. It's one cable. Does the soundblaster 4 support this or is it just motherboards that do?Thanks.

Acquire Analog and Digital inputs at the same time with 6025E card

I have 6025E DAQ card, all the analog channels are used
up. There are several digital signals, such as flowmeter. Can I acquire both kinds of data at the same time with my 6025E card? Thanks for your help.

I suggest you search the examples that ship with LV
Digital
Find Examples>>>Hardware Input and Output>>>Digital Input and Output>>>8255
for doing each type of I/O seperately.
When you have found two examples. Just try to run the two at the rate use need in your final app.
Post follow-ups Q's here. I am not personally familiar with that deveice so I can not speak from experience.
I would generally expect that if you sample rate is low (i.e. <10Hz) you maybe happy with the results. If you want to run faster or have the PC do something else at the same time, the timing of the signals form the DIO lines may be suspect.
So...
It depends.

How can you tell how fast you are sampling when using digital inputs to the PCI6014

i am currently sampling information via th edigital inputs of teh PCI6014. However in order to perform FFT and even to use the "Amplitude and Phase Spectrum vi" i need to know my sampling rate so that i can wire this constant to dt.i have attached the Vi that i created as well as some sample data. can you please help me to configure it such that i obtain a correct display of amplitude and phase. thanks

Hello,
Thanks for contacting National Instruments.
I found some information that I feel will help you to calculate the sampling rate, so that you'll be able to use this constant in your VI. Please see the link below.

¿Does Audigy 2 NX decode Dolby Digital 5.

Hi,
I've purchased an Audigy 2 NX to connect my xbox 360 via optical sound wire and get Dolby Digital 5..
The problem starts here, i've connected the console to optical In (in the sound card) and i've connected the 5. via standart jacks (the 3 typical jacks), if i set Dolby Digital 5. mode on the xbox 360 i don't get any sound, but if i set it to Stereo Digital it sounds but only in 2. mode (front speakers).
The dolby digital led in the sound card never works, it's always off, it suposes to be on when it detects a Dolby Digital Input (like the 360 one's) but it always remains off.
How can i decode Dolby Digital 5. via optical in? In the sound card spec's says that this card is able to Decode DD 5. and 7., but it seems to be a lie!.

this soundcard does not decode from external source...so it won't work this way.

Audigy 4 Pro digital input 16 - 24

I have a Sony MDS-JB920 minidisc deck hooked up to my Audigy 4 Pro through the external box. Works fine.
However, the Minidisc deck allows one to set both the digital input and output to either 6, 20 or 24 bit. As the Audigy 4 Pro is 24 bit, I've set the deck to 24 bit for both in and out. So far no problems. If I watch the settings panel whilst playing a minidisc however, it indicates that the signal coming from the MD deck is 6 bit, although the deck is set to supply 24 bit through the SPDIF out.
When I put the MD deck on rec mode whilst the PC is supplying audio feed, the MD deck loops it back to the SPDIF input of the Audigy and then the software does display 24 bit signal coming from the MD deck.
This is very confusing to me, does anyone have an explanation?

CMSS is an effect used for stereo sounds, to emulate surround sound for them. It has no effect on the DVDs you're playing as you're just outputting the AC3 signal so the speakers can decode it.
If you're using a digital connection, then CMSS will not have any effect for other sound either, you need to connect through multiple analog connections to get that sound. A standard digital connection (coaxial and optical SPDIF) can only pass over either a stereo PCM signal, or an encoded AC3 stream (like on your DVDs). Normal sound like music or games will only be passed over as stereo PCM, so there is no CMSS effect there.
If you can connect your amplifier through several analog connections, then you can use CMSS aswell, otherwise your amplifier might have it's own upmix option like ProLogic.

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,

TS5150 Does the optical digital audio port send out a Dolby Digital signal

Does the optical digital audio port send out a Dolby Digital signal

Yes if the media has such an audio track available it can do so.
There is a setting for audio and video allowing DD output to be set for Auto (on/off if connected HDMI device can decode DD), On or Off.

Can we acquire the Analog input and Digital Input at

Can we acquire the Analog input and Digital Input at
the same time? My sensor data include Analog and
digital signals.

Hi Chenchen,
It usually simplifies things greatly if you use analog inputs to monitor both the analog signals AND the digital signals.
If you abosulutely HAVE to use digital lines, then the answer is, DEPENDS....
With the correct hardware and depending on how fast you want to collect data and how closely the measurements have to be syncronized in time, it can be done.
But first, concider using analog inputs to monitor all signals.
If you need to move forward with both analog and digital acquisitions, then post a new quesion and give us details on the hardware you are using and the other details we will need to advise you.
Trying to help,
Ben
