Dolby Digtal via optical cable not work

Have an Audigy 4, recently bought a Digital I/O module as some searching lead me to believe that the Audigy 4 can do dolby decoding... (thinking about getting a PS3 and hooking it up to my monitor) Well, i've been testing with my PS2 and a DVD. With dolby off in the options menu I get stereo sound just fine, the moment I turn Dolby Digital on I get no sound whatsoever. The DVD i'm using to test got both Dolby Digital and DTS audio tracks and I made sure to select the dolby one.
anyone have a clue what's going on?

So creative lied then... Just lovely. the audigy 4 is supposed to have HARDWARE Dolby Digital...

  • 5.1 Dolby Digital via optical cable in Mac Pro?

    Hello!
    I'm planning to get a new Mac Pro and I wanted to know if a Dolby Digital or DTS encoder is included to have 5.1 output with the optical TosLink cables.
    I need this to connect the Mac with my 5.1 surround sound system because I wanted to watch DVDs using it.
    If it only supports stereo sound in the standard version, do you have any recommendations to expand it to get the described feature?
    Thanks for answers.

    Hook up the toslink, set the output to digital in System Preferences>Sound, set the input on your 5.1 receiver and match the surround sound format in both the DVD movie sound prefs and the receiver.
    That's it.
    Remember to set the speakers in the correct positions from your sitting point or it won't work very well.
    To test the surround sound I suggest the movie Castaway, where Tom Hanks is picking up Fedex boxes from the surf line. You'll hear the waves crash on the left, Tom walking towards you and coconuts falling on the right.
    The toslink and a good receiver also makes your rips and iTMS songs sound great too.
    Check out the Volume Logic iTunes plug-in as well, really makes the music sound great.

  • Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium Optical Out not working???

    Hey friends,
    I purchased a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium PCIe yesterday to run on Windows 7 64bit to trigger VSTi instruments. I can hear the VSTi play fine when I have headphones plugged into the soundcard but I want to send the audio sound OUT via the Optical Out into my Steinberg MR86x firewire audio card. ?
    I can see the light on the optical cable but no sound seems to be being sent from the sound blaster into the steinberg card.
    ?Now before people start saying you cant do that, I have have been doing this for the last 3 years and it has been great apart from my RME Audio card is not compatible with Windows 7 64bit hence why I purchased the soundblaster.
    I really am at a loss as to what I can try next, I have been through this forum and tried a few recommended tweaks but nothing? Am I missing something obvious here?
    I am using the following drivers
    Driver: v2.7.008 Windows 7 64bit
    DTS Connect: for Windows 7 64bit
    Also in the Audio Control Panel / SPDIF I/O all options are greyed out apart from the Digital Output tickbox, I only want to use this card for Audio as in creating music or specifically for triggering VST synths.
    I would really appreciate any advice
    Thanks in advance

    Re: Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium Optical Out not working?I have same card, same?OS?and lots of problems.
    Analog outputs(control panel->sound->speakers) disappears when boot or reboot, sometimes it works week, sometimes a hours. When it works, it's works ok, but suddenly during boot,?all sounds is lost, when trying launch for example Creative Audio Control Panel this message appears: There are no supported audio device available. You need to close the application. Click OK to close the application now.
    And when analog outputs disappears, no any sound via SPDIF, even it shows in notification area and control panel->sound and in device manager.
    I have owned card about two months, once change card in warranty, and?several uninstall, cleaning traces, reinstall and card works for while?and?out of blue, when boot computer, no sounds at all and only way to get sounds back is driver uninstall, cleaning and reinstall.
    Creative Customer Support seems to be clueless, but make Technical Support Request if problems continue. And all other too, if problems like that appears, contact to Creative, maybe they really try?to do?something abuot it and not just send instructions how to uninstall and reinstall drivers.

  • Set Dolby Digital for optical only, not HDMI?

    Just wondering if there's a way to set the ATV2 to output Dolby Digital only over optical but not over HDMI? My TV doesn't support DD but (obviously) my 5.1 receiver does. If I leave the setting on "Auto" it just sends a stereo signal to both HDMI and optical, but if I turn it on to "On" then it works via optical but not over HDMI since the TV can't understand it.

    I set up my TV as a monitor only and route all sound directly via optical to my receiver. I then muted my TV, and control sound via the receiver.

  • My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver.

    My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver.  This only occurred on the rented video and on recorded shows on my cable DVR. previews and other content on Apple TV are fine. Any ideas??

    Previews and trailers do not contain 5.1 audio.
    If you have recently moved your setup, you may have inadvertently changed some of the settings on your receiver. It certainly sounds as though it is unable to play the 5.1 audio from the Apple TV.

  • TS2634 why will my charging cable not work on my ipad?

    Why will my charging cable not work on my ipad?

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. WHen you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot then try again.
    Try unplugging/replugging the cable. I can't tell if you have a lightning or older 30 pin cable, but if you have the 30 pin one it can look like it's in but not be making a total connection.
    Look in the port, do you see any dust or lint? THat can mess with the connection.
    Are you trying to charge via USB or plugged into the wall? It's best charged plugged into the wall with its supplied power block.

    Depending where you are, there can be slow downs on the servers.
    You just have to keep trying. I tried 3 times to get the Mavericks upfrade and eventually had to go to the Apple Store.
    Where they gave me a copy of the previous version!

  • ATV2: Optical Out not working / No TV

    I have an extra Apple TV 2 that I wanted to hook to a stereo receiver I have - it is an older receiver w/ optical inputs, but no HDMI.  There is no TV around - I just want to use airplay and/or the remote app to select songs from my library to play through the optical connection to the receiver.
    I hooked up the optical out directly to the stereo system and configured it all to work, but the ATV will not send any audio out.
    I did more testing by hooking the ATV up to my main system, which has a TV.  If I connected only the optical cable I could never get any sound.  If I also connected the HDMI then once I switched to the HDMI input I would get sound from both the HDMI and optical outputs (I had both configured to go to different inputs on the receiver so I could check).  Once I had selected the HDMI input once, the optical would work as long as the ATV was on.  Once I set the ATV to sleep, then woke it up, the optical would no longer work until I would select the HDMI input source on the receiver - then audio would work again over both channels.
    Is this expected behavior?  It almost looks as though the ATV is purposely not outputting data until it has confirmed an HDMI connection on the other side - meaning it would be impossible for me to get this to work with just the optical connection.  However, I have read other posts here making it sound like it should work just fine.  Any ideas?  I really don't want to have to get a new receiver just to connect HDMI. 
    If it matter the receiver I have is a HK AVR140.  It should support whatever encoding format is coming from the TV.  I've tried tweaking the Dolby Digital configuration and the 16-bit one too - I haven't seen much else to configure on the ATV.
    I have checked to ensure I have the latest software release as well.
    Thanks for any input.

    The "latest software release" is the problem. What you tried to do would have worked any time over the last year since the ATV2's release, prior to the three bug-ridden 4.4 "updates" of last month, which broke this feature for everyone who bought the ATV2 to use as an AirPlay bridge to their stereo system. That would seem to be a lot of people, as it's been a frequent topic of discussion, with new threads popping up daily for weeks by people who've just discovered the bug. I suggest you register your dissatisfaction with this issue at:

  • Decoding Dolby Digital via Optical

    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to decode the digital signal from my satellite receiver via the optical in port on my Audigy Platinum? I hooked it up and all I got was basic surround, and yes, I was watching a movie on the receiver that was being broadcast in dolby digital.
    Thanks for the info...

    What do you mean "Basic Surround"?
    As far as I know, it is possible with the Platinium dri'ves. Provided your receiver is sending RAW Un-decoded Dolby Digital signal to the dri've.
    If it is already decoded, the signal being sent through the optical cable will only be received as Stereo..if I'm not mistaken.
    Someone else with hands-on experience will have to give you a better confirmation, as I dont have a Platinium dri've before. But I know its possible.

  • HP Laserjet 1010 & Wireless printing via Airport USB - Not working in SL

    Hi There,
    After just upgrading to Snow Leopard on my MacBook I tried printing wirelessly to my HP Printer, but no luck!
    Printer: HP Laserjet 1010
    Connected via: Airport with USB cable
    Snow Leopard recognises the printer and is fine to print when the printer is connected directly to the MacBook via USB cable, but:
    When I set up wireless printing, it finds the printer (via Bonjour) but simply will not print. The print monitor gets to 24% or so of the file processed and then just stops & fails.
    Everything was fine under 10.5 Leopard. It seems it should work, but no printing occurs! Any ideas?
    Many thanks,
    Paul

    I had a similar-sounding problem with my HP1012.
    The fix:
    a. power-cycled the Airport Extreme.
    b. Updated firmware.
    c. Select Print in an application.
    For an extended discussion of what I did see here - some of this may help:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2142906&tstart=60
    Actually, at this point I have two printers connected: Airport Extreme ->USB powered hub ->2 printers. One is the HP1012, the other is an HP 4300 series inkjet. Took sometime to get it right, the first hub I tried apparently was not powered enough. In that vein, one earlier thread (a response to one of my posts) pointed out the possibility that the AE -> printer USB connection might not be adequately powered, and to try using an intermediate hub. Assuming your AE is performing properly in all other respects, don't rule out a cable or other printer connection issue even if the setup was working properly before.

  • Power Mac G4 AGP (Sawtooth) - PSU cable not working, all the time

    Power Mac G4 Friends
    P1 is connected to the motherboard and working.
    P2 and P3 are connected to hard drives and working.
    P4 is connected to a hard drive and working.
    P6 is connected to optical and Zip drives and working.
    P5 may not be working.
    It was recently that I observed the length of P5. P5 is actually long enough to power an AGP 2x, 4x, ATI or GeForce, 12.v power supply connection required, graphics card.
    Formally, I used P5 to power the hard drive in the front drive bay. For years no problem occurred. Suddenly, on occasion, the hard drive would not boot. When I connected the hard drive to P4, the problem was solved.
    Questions
    Since P5's length extends to the AGP slot, should P5 only be used for an AGP, power supply required, graphics card?
    Is it possible for one PSU cable to not work?
    Is the P5 cable broken?
    Can the P5 cable be replaced?
    Thank you

    Hello, no idea if this helps, but...
    You can convert an ATX PSU for use on a G4...

  • External Optical Drive not working with iMac

    I have a memorex external drive that I have been using to install Windows 7 with boot camp and have successfully used it on 2 mac-mini's. I am not trying to install Windows 7 boot camp on an iMac that has a broken internal optical drive but the external will not run.
    I have tried:
    - Startup Utility: Can see the external in there.
    - External shows up on desktop with Windows 7
    - External shows up in disk utility
    - Windows shows up in startup menu with holding down Option.
    I see iMac SSD Drive, Recovery HD Drive , Windows CD , EFI Boot cd as options.
    If I select Windows it takes me to a black screen that says it doesnt see a boot CD clicking on EFI boot does nothing.
    Anyone have any possible solutions into getting this to work?

    This is confusing. If you have the external Optical Drive (Memorex) connected via USB to the iMac and insert a Windows 7+ DVD in it, the Apple Bootmanager will see OSX, Recovery HD, Windows (if already installed on the iMac's internal drive) and possibly Windows and EFI boot from the DVD.
    The Windows and EFI Boot will not work if you try to boot the iMac from the external. Test this from the internal Optical drive as well. If your iMac is a UEFI Mac (2013+) it will let you boot from the DVD directly (without Bootcamp).
    Bootcamp Assistant will refuse to let you use the external Optical drive, if you try use it to install Windows. BCA only works with internal Optical drives as far as Windows installation is concerned, on Macs that have a built-in optical drive. The exceptions to this rule are 2012 Macs and some 2011 models.
