# Hey guys! Any updates on this? I also have SB Titanium Pro PCIex card and digital-in works only in stereo mode. There's no "decode" tab in creative audio console.
Looks like Creative forgot about us, the Titanium card owners.
I need to decode Dolby Digital 5. from my Xbox360 through digital-in to analog speakers on Windows 7 x64. Any help is appreciated

  • Don't Want Dolby Digital For Stereo Outputs

    Hi, all.  Although FCP X won't natively see the 5.1 tracks of a Sony CX560, it does get the stereo version.  That stereo version seems to be a Dolby Pro Logic mixdown of the 5.1 recording though and plays nicely in surround when decoded with Pro Logic.  This of course doesn't happen when that stereo mix is encoded as Dolby Digital because when a stereo Dodby Digital bitstream is decoded, it will only play through the left/right speakers.  Unlike some other applications, FCP seems to ouput everything only as Dolby Digital, regardless of if it is surround or stereo.  So my stereo "Pro Logic" recordings are only playing out the left/right speakers.  Is there a way for FCP X to not output stereo mixes as Dolby Digital?  Or if I buy Compressor, will I have that control?  Thanks.

    For those who care about this, it appears you can't change how the audio is exported when exported to an Apple TV device.  FCP X will export audio as both an AAC stereo track and as an AC3 Dolby Digital track.  If you're trying to accomplish what I wanted to do though, and easy option is to open the exported file in QuickTime Pro 7, open Show Movie Properties, select the AC3 track, delete it and save the file.  This worked perfectly and was very easy to do.  As for the secondary Compressor question, if I decide to, I'll ask that in the other forum.

  • 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.

  • Stereo Sound to Rear Speakers Only / Dolby Digital

    Just purchased a Toshiba 40S51U LCD TV.  Having an issue with the sound when connected to a receiver via the optical out. 
    I think the issue is as follows:  When the program (ie local news) or commercial is broadcast in stereo, the sound is sent only to the surround (rear) speakers.  Sound is great (surround works just fine) when watching a show.  Assuming the shows are broadcasting 5.1 sound, local news only 2.0. 
    Signal is over-the-air. 
    I can switch the sound output to PCM and get reasonable sound for everything, but obviously lose the surround sound.  Would like to keep the system in Dolby Digital (AUTO) all the time. 
    Thanks,
    Rob
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Me again -- I'm an idiot and the TV was just fine. 
    My receiver was set to a non-connected set of speakers -- not sure why anything was working!  I changed the speakers to the set actually connected and everything seems to be working OK now.  The optical out on the TV was likely never an issue.

  • Dolby Digital Auto Setting Doesn't Work w/4.4.2?

    I have a bunch of old movies that were recorded in stereo, pre-Dolby, and of course, a bunch of newer in Dolby Digital.  After upgrading to Apple TV iOS 4.4.2 yesterday, I now find that the Settings/Audio & Video/Dolby Digital/Auto setting no longer works. 
    I just started a new iTunes downloaded movie with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound and noticed that it was playing in PCM stereo-only mode for some reason.  I then tried a couple of other older iTunes downloaded movies with 5.1 sound, and they all were playing in the same old PCM stereo mode, as well.  To get the new movie to play in 5.1 sound, I had to manually change the above Dolby Digital setting to ON.
    A similar issue applies to older movies in pre-Dolby stereo.  If the above setting is set to Dolby Digital ON, those older movies switch from normal stereo to Dolby Digital 1.0/Center channel only sound, so I have to either switch the Dolby Digital setting to OFF or back to Auto, which defaults to PCM stereo for everything now.
    Is anyone else experiencing this change?  The Auto function worked perfectly for me before this upgrade.
    I'm using an Apple TV 2 with an optical connection to my audio amplifier.  The movie is streaming over my wired gigabit Ethernet home network from my iMac.

    Seems to be an issue for some of us since 4.4; see other thread.

  • ITunes rented movie not outputting Dolby Digital 5.1 audio

    The problem with the downloaded movie (Real Steel HD) is
    that the Dolby Digital 5.1 (English) audio is not being putput. The movie is only playing back in
    "stereo" mode. When playing back on iTunes there are four audio tracks
    to choose from:
    1. English 1 (This plays stereo)
    2. English 2 (NO SOUND) - I believe this should be the Dolby Digital track
    3. French (This plays stereo)
    4. Spanish (This plays stereo)
    Neither of the two English tracks is outputting Dolby Digital 5.1 audio.
    I have confirmed that my PC is capable of up to 7.1 surround sound and
    my A/V receiver is capable of even more. I have updated both the ATI
    Radeon 4500 driver and the Realtek drivers. I have tested and
    confirmed that my PC is capable of  outputting sound to all 5 of my
    speakers and my subwoofer, HOWEVER when playing back the rented movie
    in iTunes the maximum audio is stereo. I have the latest version of
    iTunes installed, so that shouldn't be the problem.
    I have also purchased another movie advertised as Dolby Digital 5.1
    audio (The Bourne Supremecy HD) but I am afraid to begin my 24-hour
    viewing period because of these audio problems being unresolved.
    My question is: Are there known issues of movies purchased on iTunes
    and played back on a Windows 7 PC not playing the Dolby Digital
    tracks? If so, is there a fix for this via an iTunes settings change
    or a Windows update patch?
    From the four audio tracks that I listed above, I believe track 2 is
    the Dolby Digital track, yet there is NO SOUND when that track is
    selected.
    Please help, as this is pretty frustrating when your movie night is ruined for the family especially after you've paid for and waited for the movie to download.

    I managed to get my DD tracks working.
    First had to update itunes to the latest version (10.7.0.21) to get rid of the out of sync sound problem
    Then updated the realtek driver. There was an update directly in the realtek website (mine is the HD Audio): http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24& Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
    After all that. I tunes wasn't allowing anymore to select the Doubly Digital 5.1 tracks (an improvement).
    Then went to the windows properties for the realtek optical output and checked both options to allow application exclusive access and to have priority (http://dailykermit.wordpress.com/2009/09/11/windows-7-exclusive-device-control/)
    After all this, I was able to enjoy my rental

  • Audio to dolby digital surround AC3

    Regards,
    I have one test sequence in FCP,,, left channel is sound, and right is speech,, then exported separately to two mono channels,,, named SOUND and SPEECH,, I can hear each channel nice after that,,
    But, when I make AC3 file with compressor, I have problem.
    Can somebody tell me where I make mistake??
    With compressor I make New Job With Surround sound group,, then select for every channel one mono channel, from FCP, specifically; L - speech, C-sound, R -speech, Ls -sound, Rs-sound ,,,
    after select File format,, Dolby digital Professional,, Target sistem is DVD video,,,, Audio coding mode is 3/2,,, In Preprocessing, compression presset is NONE,, after submit this I have AC3 file, and when I make DVD and looking in my home dolby digital system I hear completely diferent disposition,, L - Sound, C-sound, R-speech (very quiet) Ls- sound, Rs-speech,
    I was trying and different setup, but I cannot acquire adequate setup,, before I was using AC3 encoder (FCP 4.5), and everything was perfect,
    Thanks,

    Sry, your comment is 5 month old, but i have to ask you some thing too:
    What headset do you use for the surround sound? I read EVERYWERE that headsets can just output games / music in stereo... for example the logitech g35...
    Hope you can help me

  • Dolby digital or pcm

    I recently exported a stereo project with unusual results.  The preset chosen in AME for the audio  (MPEG2-DVD) was PCM.  It plays fine on computers and through the volume on televisions.  It sounds distorted and super strange on my surround sound.  I had to turn the volume off on our surround sound and play it back through the TV.  Should I chose Dolby Digital when exporting to DVD?
    Thanks,
    Lisa

    Hi Lisa,
    If you are using CS6, then in AME when exporting MPEG-2 DVD, the AUDIO tab will have an option for Dolby AC-3 and you can use that, otherwise PCM (.wav) is fine, since Encore will automatically transcode it to Dolby anyway.
    As Jim mentioned, if audio sounds messed up, check the settings on the receiver. Mine has a variety of surround modes and some don't provide the desired results at all.I don't think Adobe has anything to do with your issue
    Thanks

  • Dolby Digital/AC3 encoding?

    I just bought a K8N Neo4, and hooked it up to my Panasonic audio receiver - just the one cable, S/PDIF optical. I was hoping to get 5.1 sound out of this, but all I get is two channel stereo. 
    Is there any way to encode a signal that my receiver can use to produce full surround sound (it supports Dolby Digital and DTS signals)?

    Nice.
    I never even heard of it.  I always thought the only way was to go 6ch analog and have your external amp support multi channel in if the source wasn't DD/DTS already in which case it's not DD anyway.  Otherwise you only get 2ch PCM on the SPDIF. Then again I only have owned Creative sound cards....geez even then Creative made you buy the breakout box to enable AC3 decoding unless you made a board mod...  Of course you still need a multi channel source.  What kind of software do they come with?  Can you play a 6ch .wav for example and have a DD/DTS stream over SPDIF/Optical? or is only really for games, so for simplicity you can have one cable/fiber and not go analog till it 's on the way to the speakers?  Still though except for a few less cables, and when the D/A conversion takes place(and therefore the quality of which component is doing it, sound card or amp) I don't think it's that big of a deal if you have multichannel input amp.  DD is still not lossless compression so the big advantage would seem to be for those without multichannel inputs.  Otherwise it would be an interesting comparrision for the audiophile which I'm not.  You have a pure source and you compress to DD and lose quality and then decode and output  vs. Pure source going analog, losing signal quality along the way and outputting.  someone on the internet has surely done it.

  • Question about Dolby Digital 5.1 in Soundtrack Pro 3

    Hi folks,
    I am pretty confused in regards to using Soundtrack Pro 3 to create and export a AC-3 dolby digital 5.1 file to be used in burning a Blu Ray DVD using Toast Titanium 11. I admit that overall I am somewhat Final Cut Studio savy but for the life of me I cannot find reliable and understandable tutorials re: the dolby digital thing. I am hoping that there are people out there who will be patient with my admitted ignorance
    So, what I am working on?
    107 minute feature documentary film edited using FCP 7 with 65 tracks of audio mixed down (using STP3) to six (1 & 2 dedicated to Voice, 3 & 4 dedicated to sfx and ambient sounds, 5 & 6 dedicated to music.)
    What do I want to do?
    My film is going be to be screened at a festival next month and so I want to burn a blu ray disc (using Toast Titanium 11) with AC-3 Dolby digital 5.1 audio as apposed to 2 channel stereo.
    What I don't understand?
    I'm not entirely sure how the Dolby 5.1 export using STP3 works. My questions are:
    Will it take a 2 channel stereo final mix and convert and export it so that it will be a Dolby Digital? If so, what about the 6 channels of audio that I mentioned before. Is it better to mix those 6 down to 2 before doing the  Dolby 5.1 export?
    If so, what if the theatre equipment (or any home dvd player) is not able to play Dolby 5.1? Will it then play the Blu Ray in 2 channel stereo or will there be issues?
    Is there a 'standard' Dolby Digital setup when having to choose the 'Audio Coding Mode?'
    And/or:
    What settings would you suggest for very high quality Blu Ray export?
    Anyways, I know there is a helluva lot of questions there but I obviously wanna get this right. Huge thanks in advance to any advice/suggestions you can give.
    Cheers!

    HI,
    briefly from what comes to mind is;
    your tracks need to be assigned via the Surround Sound Panner options, either or both in the tracks and submixes.  Read about Surround Sound in Soundtrack Pro and also the effect options via the sound design reverberation. (The latter can create surround from a stereo submix as well )
    The next chapter is the export option.  FILE>EXPORT
    The master can be optionally exported in Dolby surround AC-3 with a number of options you need to set in this window.
    Then burning is the next chapter. I trust Toast can manage but have not tried yet.
    When burning to Blue Ray one actually should use full resolution PCM files  WAV format for highest quality
    Audio Surround Sound. The Export then would need to be uncompressed from your final STP mix in single mono files (which is an option in STP ) and then imported into a special burning program.....
    THese are my 2 cents in general.

  • FCPX dolby digital output

    Hi,
    I am considering buying FCPX.  I saw that FCPX allows you to create a 5.1 signal from a stereo feed through audio keyframes and audio placement (L, R, C, rl, rR) of these keyframes.
    But, when you do that, will FCPX export your audio as 5.1 dolby digital source or a simulated 5.1 thus a dolby surround track??  I think a home cinema receiver will need a *.ac3 signal to have a true "Dolby Digital", or else it will consider the audio as stereo.  Do you need Motion to export Dolby Digital?
    Has anyone experience with this?  Any input would be appreciated.

    Hi G.H.,
    Since you use the same camera, I was wondering how you use the surround audio panning mode.  I created a 5.1 surround project 1080 50p.  I see 6 channels in the audio meter, but when I create >1 keyframes with the surround panning, the audio position does not shif even when a new keyframe (with another setting of my position) is reached.  How did you resolve this?
    Do you use 6 mono channels or do you leave 5.1 audio (standard)?

  • SPDIF Dolby Digital output of K7N420

    Hello,
    I have two computers, and the SPDIF output of one computer (the K7N420) is running into the SPDIF input of the Live! Drive of the other computer.  When I select "Stereo" or "Dolby-Surround" for the digital output in the nforce control panel of the K7N420, the signal gets through just fine.  However, if I select "Dolby-Digital" nothing comes through.  Does anybody know why?
    The FAQ for the Live! Drive says "The Optical In and SPDIF In can accept PCM (20 bit, 48kHz, stereo)."
    However, I can't find anywhere what the nforce's SPDIF output is when in DD mode.  Could this be why?
    Has anybody else run across this problem?
    Thanks,

    Dolby Surround was the name for the older technology, also called Dolby Prologic.
    It is backward compatible, which means that if you play a DS stream to a stereo decoder, it will get only the 2 "classic" channels (left & right). If you play it to a Dolby Prologic decoder, additional infomation (hidden in the usual 2 channels) are displayed.
    for more information, let me refer you to the dolby knowledge base.
    Hope it clarifies the point.

    PS: there are lots of interesting info on that website, take a lok if you are interested in DD, DS, 5.1...

  • ¿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.

  • Dolby Digital is cho

    Hi. I have an Audigy 2 Value and Powerdvd 4.0. DVDs play fine in 2 stereo mode with all 6 speakers playing (albeit 2 channel sound), but when I change the settings to 6 speaker dolby digital, the audio and video become very choppy. Does anyone know why this is? Any help would be appreciated.

    you should use spdif output to play dolby digital track with powerdvd but powerDVD4.0 is quite old an had many problems with soundoutput and SPDIF. You should first upgrade your DVD player.
    btw: when you post, post also your config.
