DTS-610 connection to Dolby Digital Receiver without DTS feat

Hi,
I have a JBL ECS 333 sound system (amplifier + speakers) with Dolby Digital 5. support and digital inputs (optical + coax.). It has not DTS label on it - just the Dolby Digital! Will the DTS-60 work with my system.
Thanks,
roku

roku,
I'm afraid you will need a receiver/device that's capable of decoding DTS in order to work with the DTS-60.

How do I get Dolby digital live or DTS connect to work?

I have the sound blaster Zx sound card and the logitech z906 5.1 surround speaker system. I am connecting to the speakers via optical cable. I figured Dolby digital live and/or DTS would sound great with this set up, only problem when I turn on either of those my speakers go silent. I set Speakers: Soundblaster Z as my default playback device but other than that I am not sure what I need to do to get it to work.

I have the z 906 speakers, not the Z-5500 in your link. The manual I already have says the z906 speakers automatically detect the digital signal. I figured the Sound Blaster card would convert an analog signal to digital since it is going into the speakers through the Optical cable, I guess I was wrong.
I have read the link about digital connections on these forums along with the notice in the cinematic tab in the Sound Blaster control panel. I believe they are both saying that I will not be able to use my music player (windows media player) in conjunction with the Dolby DTS and Dolby Digital Live, is this true?
If so then is the only way to listen to the DTS or digital Live effects is through a DVD or Blu ray disc encoded for either of those effects?
If this is true how do I test my dolby digital outputs to make sure they are working correctly?

Dolby Digital Live and DTS Connect Pack not installing at all!!

I have (unfortunately) a Soundblaster X-Fi X-treme audio soundcard hooked up through an optical cable to my Inspire 5.1 Digital 5700 receiver. Of course, the sound card doesn't come with a Dolby Digital decoder, so it must be purchased seperately through Creative. Well, I downloaded (and PAID FOR) the software here after viewing and MAKING SURE my f'ing card was listed: http://buy.soundblaster.com/_creativ...DDN6Z2H2ADDEZD
However, when I go to install it the installer says "setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system" then closes. So that's fantastic. No explanations, no nothing. I have a supported card, updated drivers, but the software THAT I PURCHASED FROM CREATIVE simply is not detected. Of course, finding technical support from Creative is like finding water in the desert, so I am here. Can anyone please help me with this? I am about to call my bank and deny the $5.00 transaction if I cannot get this fixed, I've been working on it for two freaking hours now. ANY HELP is greatly appreciated.

Well, I had a reply typed and clicked "reply" but of course it asked me to log in again and lost my response. It seems their forums are quite awful as well. Suffice it to say, my soundcard is listed here: http://buy.soundblaster.com/_creativ...DDN6Z2H2ADDEZD where I purchased the product. My receiver is capable of playing DVD's in Dolby Digital, and all modern games support it, so I was of the understanding that all I needed was this DTS encoder.
I was quite angry when I wrote the post, as I couldn't get it to work, their tech support is abysmal (almost non-existent) and there were literally no instructions, it simply gave me the error and booted me. I have written a complaint to the better business bureau and will never again purchase another Creative product. They can $hit on consumers all they like, but consumers like me (and daniel_k it seems) will not forget so easily.

Z87-G45 Dolby Digital Live or DTS connect support?

As I understand it the motherboard uses the Realtek ALC1150 audio codec. There is a mention of an "Optional Dolby PCEE program" on the ALC1150 realtek info page.
Is this something that MSI must implement on top of the driver or is there a free driver/software somewhere that provides this support?
I want to be gaming with Dolby Digital/DTS on my receiver with this motherboard. Is it possible?

With an aftermarket add-in PCI-E sound card, yes. Most of the time, higher end boards will have certain features that won't be made available for the lower end mainboards. You could always ask MSI Technical about it;

MSI GTX 580 Lightning XE - no DTS-HD and no Dolby Digital TrueHD?

Hello,
I have just upgraded from the gtx 460 to 580 Lightning XE and the above audio formats are gone. I thought the 280.26 drivers caused it so I went back to 275.33 and DTS-HD and DD TrueHD are still missing.
Since the gtx 460 supports these formats I presumed that the 580 does as well.
In Playback Devices > Supported Formats, only 3 formats are listed: DTS Audio, Dolby Digital Plus and Dilby Digital
In Nvidia Control Panel, the HDCP is not supported when I select my TV/amp. When I had my tv/amp connected via hdmi cable to gtx 460, all was functioning correctly, all formats were listed.
PowerDVD and Total MediaTheater worked perfectly fine playing dts-hd an dd truehd from bluray discs, now these formats are just not available anywhere. Only normal DTS and DD is played.
I really hope that this is a software issue
DTS-HD and DD TrueHD are supported from HDMI 1.3 version. The GTX 580 chip supposedly supports HDMI 1.4a. NVIDIA and MSI please fix it!
Here's the fix request form, please can as anyone request a fix through this form? http://nvidia-submit.custhelp.com/app/ask
The chip 580 should support DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD.

have you tried msi's drivers too? http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N580GTX-Lightning-Xtreme-Edition.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win7%2032
No I haven't. I didn't even think of that. I always go for the official nvidia drivers. I'm downloading it now.
edit: Installed them drivers, and no change. DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD are still missing.
I found some "info" here:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4008/nvidias-geforce-gtx-580/4
Quote
NVIDIA slightly revised their display controller for GF110/GTX580; the good news is that HDMI 1.4a is supported, the bad news is that full audio bitstreaming is not supported so it’s the same as it was on the GTX 480: 8 channel LPCM and lossy audio formats like DD+ and DTS. This actually caught us off-guard since we were expecting the full GF104 treatment here, but it just goes to show that this is a GF100-derrivative after all. Unfortunately this also extends to the number of displays supported – NVIDIA still only supports 2 displays on one card, so you need to run in SLI if you intend to take advantage of 3DVision/NVIDIA surround across 3 monitors.
If that's true, it doesn't look good..

Need help connecting to my digital receiver

I bought an airport express to play itunes from my computer to my stereo.
I have a digital receiver that's fairly old but still digital with optical inputs.
I don't want to just connect RCA cables from airport express to receiver—i want to take advantage of using the optical out from airport express to keep everything digital.
But with my receiver, i don't think it's as simple as getting an optical digital Toslink audio cable and plugging it into the digital inputs on my receiver. i need to also plug in RCA audio cables IN CONJUNCTION with the optical audio cable. Kind of like how in a dvd player, you have to plug in the optical cable as well as RCA audio so you have dedicated channels on your receiver(DVD,Video 1, Video 2)
my question is do they have a cable like this? a mini-to-optical digital Toslink audio cable as well as RCA audio in one?

HeavySoul, Welcome to the discussion area!
...Kind of like how in a dvd player, you have to plug in the optical cable as well as RCA audio so you have dedicated channels on your receiver(DVD,Video 1, Video 2)
On a DVD player you have video and audio. Are you confusing the video cable with an optical cable?
Unless your receiver is some odd device, there should be no need for both optical and analog audio input.

Absent Dolby Digital[AC-3] Decoding feat

Ques :
My sound card Sound Blaster Li've 5.. Model no. SB Li've [A400].. Problem is Dolby Digital [AC-3] feature absent in Surround Mixer/Speaker/Setting dialog box. Pls tell me how I get that feature. I use original software. Surround Mixer Version is 2.00.53
Ques 2 :
My Speaker Creative Inspire 5. 5200. How can I hear Dolby Digital and dts sound?
Ques 3:
If I use Audigy 2 Zs and Creative Inspire 5. 5200. Dolby Digital and dts sound can come through my speaker?

Q: From the description of you soundcard of the Creative website, it looks as though you should have dolby digital decoding capability, but I'm not sure why your AC3 option would be missing (my option is in the advanced playback settings).
Q2: If it turns out your card is not capable of decoding AC3, then you can use a version of PowerDVD or WinDVD with Dolby Digital/DTS decoding capability (not usually available in the free versions). This will let you get DD/DTS using the analogue connections to your speakers.
Q3: The Audigy 2 can decode both DD and DTS so you will be able to use the analogue connections to your speakers to get 5. surround sound.

Connecting to home theater receiver without hdmi

I have a sony hdtv and a yamaha receiver which work great but don't have hdmi ports. I connected apple tv through hdmi to component video converter and then to dvd inputs on yamaha receiver. When i turn everything on and select dvd on yamaha receiver i see the apple symbol on sony hdtv for a few seconds but then nothing but a black screen. Can I use this converter? Is there a way to make this work? Thanks

There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2).

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

DTS Connect / Dolby Digital Live (?)

$ Hi! I have an SB X-FI Platinum and was wondering if there's any way to enable DTS Connect (or Dolby Digital Li've?) on my card? I have another sound card today and use the DTS Connect to get 5. sound in games and movies that don't have DTS / Dolby Digital sound.. Im using a single Coax SPDIF cable with the newest Beta driver (released 2009-0-29) for Windows 7.

( For older Sound Blaster X-Fi cards, to use DTSC/DDL you need to purchase the software here:

Digital Connections, SPDIF and Dolby Digital Info

I have noticed that many people have problems using their digital connections, so I put together this info to try and explain the difference between digital and analogue, and how to use them.
Digital ConnectionsDigital connections come in two standard forms, optical and coax. They both give you exactly the same result, the only difference is the medium (material) through which the signal travels. The thing to remember about digital is that for ordinary, uncompressed sound, it will only carry a stereo signal. So, if you like to use CMSS with your music, or you try the speaker test function, optical/coax is useless as you only hear the front left/right speakers.
Movies wth Dolby Digital (AC3) & DTSMovies on DVD often use encoded audio in the form of Dolby Digital (AC3) or DTS. This means that all 6 channels are compressed into a single stream of digital data. A decoder is required to extract the channels and send the sound to the correct speakers. There are three ways to do this.
) Pass the AC3/DTS signal to a external decoder. This is where your optical/coax connection is used. To go down this route, you must first have a set of speakers or a decoder that supports Dolby Digital. In your DVD software, select 'SPDIF' as the audio output method and 'SPDIF Pass-through' in your soundcard options. What this does is tells both the software and soundcard to leave the audio from the DVD in compressed form and send it straight through the digital outputs. Your digital speakers/receiver will do all the decoding to give you full surround sound. Please note that this is the only way to get 6 channels through an optical/coax cable.
2) Decode the AC3/DTS with your Sound Blaster.You should choose this option if you don't have an external decoder. In the DVD software, select 'SPDIF' as the audio output method and make sure that 'SPDIF Pass-through' in the souncard options is off. The DVD software will now pass the compressed audio to your soundcard, which will then decode the data. The soundcard will output the 6 channels using the analogue connections (or digital DIN, more on this later). If you try to use a digital optical/coax connection to your speakers, you will only hear faint sounds from the front left/right speakers.
3) Decode the AC3/DTS with software.If you have a soundcard that doesn't support Dolby Digital (like the SB Li've! 24-bit) and you don't have digital speakers, the only way for you to get surround sound in movies is to use software to decode the AC3/DTS. The free versions of DVD software you get with hardware often don't support this feature, you will most likely need a full version. First select 'Dolby Digital' or 'DTS' decoding in the DVD software audio options (you must select the right sound format for the movie you are watching). Then make sure that 'SPDIF Pass-through' in the soundcard options is off. As with method (2) you must connect your speakers with the 3 analogue cables, not optical/coax.
PC GamesPC games usually use technologies like as EAX to create surround sound, not Dolby Digital. So even if your speaker system has a Dolby Digital decoder, it will be of no use when playing games. The EAX processing is done on the soundcard, and the 6-channel sound is output via the analogue (or digital DIN if available). So you still need analogue connections to your digital speakers for games, if you just use an optical/coax cable you will only get the front left/right sound.(N.B. X-Box games do support Dolby Digital, so if you connect your X-Box to your Dolby Digital receiver/speakers with the optical cable, you can get full surround sound.)
Creative's 4-pole mini-jack & Digital DINYou can only get the full use out of this connection when used between Creative Sound Blasters and compatible Creative speaker systems. It is the digital equivalent of the analogue connections, but instead of using 3 stereo sockets, you use just one digital socket. There are 4 conducting connections in the socket (unlike coax which has two) so there are enough connections to carry 3 different digital stereo signals (front R/L, rear R/L and Sub/Centre). You will probably require a 4-pole mini-jack > DIN converter to connect your Creative speakers to this socket. Using this connection will allow you to get surround from games (unlike SPDIF). However the digital DIN input on some Creative speakers can't receive AC3/DTS data, so you may still require an optical/coax connection.
N.B. This digital socket on the Sound Blaster cards doubles as the digital coax output. If you don't have digital DIN, you can use a mono or stereo mini-jack > RCA converter to connect to the coax input on your speakers, as the front R/L or AC3/DTS signals are sent through the tip of the plug.

Der Digitale Anschluß
Ich habe beobachtet, daß viele Leute Fragen zu den Sound-Anschlüssen haben, daher trage ich hier einige Infos zusammen und erkläre die Unterschiede in der Verwendung der digitalen und analogen Anschlüsse.
Digitale Anschlüsse – S-PDIF & Toslink
Am PC gibt es zwei häufig verwendete digitale Anschlußformate optisch (Toslink) und koaxial (S-PDIF).
Im Prinzip erzielen beide Anschlüsse genau das gleiche Audio-Ergebnis.
Der primäre Unterschied ist das Medium ( das Material ) durch das das Signal übertragen wird. ( Glasfaser oder Kupfer )
!! Update !!
Ein wichtiger Aspekt in der Auswahl von digital-optischen Anschlüssen erklärt sich durch das Vermeiden einer sogenannten „Brummschleife“, d.h. eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung zweier Geräte muß vermieden werden.
( mit Lichtwellenleiter - LWL- z.B. mit dem Anschluß-System Toslink )
In der Elektrotechnik ( Niedervolttechnik ) wird oft der „Negative“ Pol der Spannungsversorgung über das elektrisch leitende Gehäuse ( die sogenannte Masse )geführt. Das spart einerseits einen weiteren Kabelweg ( also Kupfer ) ein und ergibt eine mehr oder weniger wirksame (Ab-) Schirmung. Diese Schirmung soll die elektronische Schaltung vor elektromagnetischen, hochfrequenten und niederfrequenten Störeinflüssen je nach Ausführung der Schirmung schützen.
Üblicherweise besitzt jedes elektronische Gerät eine eigene Spannungsversorgung. Netzteile in elektronischen Geräten unterscheiden sich in der Art der Spannungsumformung, in der Höhe der Spannung, in der zur Verfügung gestellten Leistung, durch verschiedene Bauarten und unterschiedliche Bauteil-Tolleranzen entstehen somit verschiedenste Masse-Potentiale.
Werden solche Geräte durch elektrisch leitende Kabel verbunden, kommt es zu einem Ausgleich der verschiedenen Masse-Potentiale. Ein negatives Ergebnis der Verbindung von TV-Geräten oder PC-Komponenten mit Audio-Komponenten ist oft eine hörbare Beeinträchtigung von Audio-Signalen - ein tieffrequentes Brummen.( auch Brummschleife oder Masseschleife genannt )
Hierfür verantwortlich zu machen ist eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung. In der HiFi-Technik ist das in der Regel ein Koaxialkabel und dessen Schirmung.
Vermeidung u. Reduzierung dieser Störgeräusche Ansätze
!! Der einfache Weg !!
Einsatz einer optischen Signal- / Datenübertragung mit Lichtwellenleiter
- Glasfaser als Trägermaterial
( Einsatz einer Datenübertragung ohne elektrisch leitende Verbindungen )
aufwendige Wege
Einsatz einer Galvanischen Trennung - mit einem Ground-Isolator
(Massetrennung )
+ die elektrische Verbindung der Schirmung wird umgangen
- aber Leistungs- & und Klangverlust(geringere Dynamik)
- Verwendung von ( hochwertigen ) symmetrischen Verbindungen
( „PLUS“ „MINUS“ „Masse“)
+ Trennung der Schirmung an einer „Seite“ des Kabels möglich
[bei Koaxialkabel unsinnig weil eine Ader zerstört wird und
anschließend dieses Kabel wertlos ist ]
- sehr große Anschlüsse
- Profibereich
- Einsatz einer zentralen Spannungsversorgung für alle miteinander
verbundenen Geräte
Nachtrag
Bitte nicht verwechseln mit Netzbrummen - die Einstreuung der Netzfrequenz 50 Hz ( EU ) oder 60 Hz ( US ) in den Audio-Signalweg das ist üblicherweise auf eine nicht ausreichende Entstörung oder(Ab-)Schirmung zurückzuführen ist.
- End - !! Update !!
Einige Vorbetrachtungen
Die traditionelle Ton-Übertragung ist ein unkomprimiertes Signal, es wird in Stereo übertragen.
Wenn du CMSS ( Creative Multi Speaker Surround simulierten Surround Sound ) aus deiner Stereo-Musik erzeugen willst oder der Sprach-Test abgerufen wird ( nur über den Center ) ist der digitale Anschluß ( optisch & koaxial ) unbrauchbar, denn es würden nur die Lautsprecher Front-Rechts und Front-Links angesprochen !! Es wird ein anderer Anschluß benötigt, der die Kanäle einzeln ansteuert.
Für das Format 5.1 ist das die Verbindung über die drei 3,5 mm Klinken-Stecker ( 3 mal 2 Kanäle ) mit der folgenden
Kanalzuweisung 5.1
Front R / Front L + Rear R + Rear L + Subwoofer / Center
Mehrkanalton in Filmen - DolbyDigital (AC3 / DD) oder DTS
Filme auf DVD verwenden häufig ein kodiertes Mehrkanal-Audiosignal, in der Form DolbyDigital ( AC3 / DD ) oder DTS. Bei dem gebräuchlichsten Format 5.1 werden 6 Signale ( 3 mal 2 Kanäle ) in einem digitalen Datenstrom zusammengefaßt und komprimiert = das Kodieren.
Nach der Übertragung des Signals muß aus diesem Datenstrom ein Decoder die entsprechenden Töne trennen und jedem Kanal zuordnen = das Dekodieren.
Drei Varianten der Decodierung sind möglich.
(1) - AC3 / DTS Signal wird zu einem externen Decoder geführt
Genau hier wird der optische / koaxiale Anschluß genutzt. Um diese Variante nutzen zu können, mußt du ein digitales Lautsprecher-Set oder einen Digital-Decoder ( z.B: Digital-Receiver ) besitzen, der die Dekodierung des gewünschten Formats ( DD, AC3, DTS) übernimmt. Für jedes Digital-Format benötigt man einen entsprechenden Decoder – das Handbuch weiß hier oft mehr – welches Format von welchem Gerät dekodiert werden kann !!
Wähle in deiner DVD-Software den zur digitalen Datenübertragung gewünschten Anschluß "S-PDIF"( Koaxial ) oder "Optisch" als Audio-Ausgang.
In den Soundkarten-Einstellungen muß die Option "S-PDIF-Durchschleifen" ( "SPDIF Pass-through" ) eingestellt werden.
Dadurch wird das Audio-Signal von der DVD in digitaler ( komprimierter ) Form direkt an die Digital-Ausgänge der Soundkarte weitergeleitet. Anschließend kann ein angeschlossener externer Decoder z.B. im digitalen Lautsprecher-System oder im Digital-Receiver die Decodierung übernehmen und es entsteht ein „Räumliches Klangbild“.
Bitte merken:
Daß ist der einzige Weg 5.1 Signale ( digital ) über ein koaxiales bzw. optisches Kabel zu übertragen.
(2) - AC3 / DTS mit der Soundkarte decodieren
Diese Variante ist zu verwenden, wenn du keinen externen Decoder / Receiver verwenden willst.
In der DVD-Software wird "S-PDIF" als Audio-Ausgang gewählt und es muß zwingend in den Optionen der Soundkarte "S-PDIF-Durchschleifen" ( "SPDIF Pass-through" ) deaktiviert werden.
Die DVD-Software wird jetzt das ( digitale ) komprimierte Audio-Signal an deine Soundkarte senden und dann werden dort die digitalen Daten decodiert. Die Soundkarte gibt dann die 6 Audio-Kanäle ( bei 5.1 ) über ihre drei analogen Anschlüsse aus ( 3 mal 3,5 mm Klinke ) mit folgender
Kanalzuweisung 5.1
Front R / Front L + Rear R + Rear L + Subwoofer / Center
Es wird in diesem Beispiel also ein 5.1-Lautsprecher-System benötigt, mit der analogen Anschluß-Option von drei Klinken-Steckern.
( also 3 x 2 Kanäle = 3 mal 3,5 mm Klinke )
- die Einspeisung eines digitalen Signals über DigitalDIN, ist mit dem optionalen digitalen E/A-Modulbei möglich ***
- wird hier ein optisches / koaxiales Kabel verwendest, hörst du nur schwache Töne der Front-Lautsprecher R + L
*** Bei Karten der SB073X-Serie verfügt diese Buchse nicht über die Digital-In-Funktion !! zur Unterstützung des digitalen E/A-Moduls )
[ mehr unten ]
(3) - AC3 / DTS mit einer Software decodieren
Wenn deine Soundkarte kein DolbyDigital unterstützt
( wie die SB Live! 24-bit ) und auch kein digitales Lautsprecher-System vorhanden ist, kannst du Raumklang
(Surrsound-Sound ) aus DV-Filmen auch über eine AC3 / DTS fähige Software erzeugen.
Gratis-DVD-Software-Versionen unterstützen diese Funktion häufig nicht, du benötigst dann eine Software-Voll-Version.
Wähle die gewünschte digitale Audio-Tonspur „DolbyDigital“ oder „DTS“, im Audio-Menü einer DVD.
Dann stelle sicher, das in den Soundkarten-Optionen "S-PDIF-Durchschleifen"
( "SPDIF Pass-through" ) ausgeschaltet ist.
Wie unter (2) mußt du deine Lautsprecher mit den drei analogen Kabeln anschließen und nicht optisch oder koaxial !! ( 3 mal 3,5 Klinke )
Kanalzuweisung 5.1
Front R / Front L + Rear R + Rear L + Subwoofer / Center
Generell sind bei zuvor genannten Varianten (1) – (3) auch andere mehrkanalige
Wiedergabeformate möglich.
In Abhängigkeit von der Ausstattung der Quelle also von der DVD. der CD. der TV-Karte, dem Game usw. sind andere Formate z.B. 2.0 / 2.1 / 4.0 / 4.1 / 5.1 / 7.1-Kanal Wiedergabe möglich.
PC Spiele
PC Spiele nutzen normalerweise Technologien wie EAX, die ihren eigenen Surround-Sound, ohne Verwendung von DolbyDigital erzeugen. Selbst wenn dein Lautsprecher-System einen DolbyDigital-Decoder besitzt, ist dieser für Games unbrauchbar. Denn die EAX Verarbeitung findet direkt auf der Soundkarte statt und die Ausgabe der 6 Kanäle ( 5.1 ) erfolgt über die analogen Ausgänge
( 3 mal 3,5 mm Klinke ) ( oder über DigitalDIN, wenn vorhanden *** ).
*** Bei Karten der SB073X-Serie verfügt diese Buchse nicht über die Digital-In-Funktion !! zur Unterstützung des digitalen E/A-Moduls ) [ mehr unten ]
Kanalzuweisung 5.1
Front R / Front L + Rear R + Rear L + Subwoofer / Center
Für Mehrkanalwiedergabe in Spielen benötigst du also Lautsprecher-Systeme mit analogen Anschlüssen oder einen Digital-Receiver mit analogem ( 5.1 ) Eingang.
Wenn du ein optisches / koaxiales Kabel verwendest, dann kannst du nur die vorderen Kanäle ( links / rechts ) hören.
!!! Notiz !!!
X-Box Spiele unterstützen DolbyDigital, wenn du deine X-Box mit einem DolbyDigital-Receiver oder einem digitalen Lautsprecher-System über optische Kabel verbindest, kannst du den vollen Surround Sound nutzen.
Die Sound Blaster Karten der SB073X-Serie bieten neben dem digitalen ( koaxial / extern ) Anschluß über den Anschluss Flexi-Jack auch noch einen weiteren Anschluß, direkt auf der Karte ( koaxial / intern )
Flexi-Jack - DigitalDIN
Wenn du kein digitales E/A-Modul ( Digital I/O-Modul ) benutzen kannst, ist es möglich mit einem Klinke-Chinch Adapter ( RCA-Adapter ), ein digitales Lautsprecher-System oder einen Digital-Receiver digital ( koaxial ) über den Flexi-Jack-Ausgang der Soundkarte zu verbinden. Alle MiniDin bzw. 3,5 mm Klinken-Stecker können in der Mono- oder auch in der Stereo-Ausführung verwendet werden, denn der mittlere / vordere Pin des 3,5 mm Klinken-Steckers überträgt das AC3 / DTS Signal. Dazu benötigt man eine der folgenden Verbindungen
3,5 mm Klinke ( Mini DIN ) auf Chinch - Adapter ( RCA-Adapter )
für den S-PDIF-Anschluß( koaxial ) an Lautsprecher-Systeme mit digitalem Eingang bzw. Digital-Receiver kann man folgende Varianten verwenden
- Klinke-Mono - Chinch-Stecker ( Stecker –Stecker ) ( Favorit !! )
- Klinke-Mono auf Chinch-Mono ( Stecker - Kupplung ) + Chinch-Verbindungkabel
( Stecker - Stecker )
- Klinke-Stereo auf Chinch-Mono ( Stecker - Kupplung ) + Chinch-Verbindungkabel
( Stecker - Stecker )
Das digitale E/A-Modul ( Digital I/O – Modul )
Die Verwendung von optionalem Zubehör Digitales E/A-Modul ( Digital I/O-Modul ) bietet die Möglichkeit der direkten Verwendung eines S-PDIF Verbindungskabels und stellt zusätzlich zum koaxialen Anschluß einen optischen Anschluß ( Toslink ) bereit. Die optische Verbindung kann wie oben beschrieben zur Vermeidung einer Brummschleife hilfreich sein.
Des weiteren wird ( abhängig von der Ausstattung der Soundkarte *** ) ein digitaler Eingang über das E/A-Modul bereitgestellt, der Eingang ist ebenso wie der Ausgang in optischer ( Toslink ) und koaxialer ( S-PDIF ) Bauform ausgeführt.
Achtung !!
( *** Bei Karten der SB073X-Serie verfügt diese Buchse nicht über die Digital-In-Funktion !! zur Unterstützung des digitalen E/A-Moduls )
interner S-PDIF E/A-Anschluss ( für Geräte der SB073X-Serie )
zum Anschluß einer Decoderkarte oder externer Decoder bzw. Lautsprechersysteme mit digitalem Eingang ist ein entsprechender Adapter erforderlich
Bei einigen Modellen ist eine Dekoderkarte im Lieferumfang enthalten bzw. in einigen Regionen als Zubehör erhältlich
Front Panel-Sockel (für Geräte der SB073X-Serie)
2 x 5-poliger Front Panel-Sockel nur für Verbindungen mit einem Intel HD Front Panel Audio-Standardsockel (nur Geräte der SB073X-Serie) Intel Front Panel Audio-Kabels (separat erhältlich)
Anschlusskompatibilität
Ausschließlich Intel HD Front Panel Audio-Standard
Nicht kompatibel mit AC97 oder Intel-kompatiblem HD Front Panel Audio
Einschränkungen
Wenn neben den hinteren Mikrofonen auch Frontmikrofone angeschlossen sind, werden die hinteren Mikrofone automatisch deaktiviert.
Sound Blaster X-Fi E/A-Konsole
Auf der Rückseite Ihrer X-Fi-E/A-Konsole* befindet sich eine sogenannte DIN-Buchse. Um die Funktionen für eine integrierte Lautsprechersteuerung zu nutzen, können Sie an diese Buchse ausgewählte analoge Creative-Lautsprechersysteme anschließen, die über eine Kabelfernbedienung oder eine Audiokonsole verfügen.
So können Sie beispielsweise über den Master-Lautstärkeregler Ihrer X-Fi-E/A-Konsole die Lautstärke der Lautsprecher regeln oder die Lautsprecher stummschalten.

Dts interactive / dolby digital live toggle switch tray icon

hey guys, i had a better post typed out but the preview button failed and deleted it all, haven't had that happen in a long time, i normally copy it to clipboard
here's a crude little program i whipped up, which effecti'vely toggles dts interacti've, or dolby digital li've on or off, with a simple left click of the mouse, right clicking the icon opens the creative audio console, this actually just runs a simple batch file that stops or starts the Creative Audio Service, its handy for my setup
creative audigy , set as default device in windows
realtek onboard digital out set to dts:interacti've output device set in creative console encode tab
media player classic forced to use realtek digital output
the problem is i wish to stream raw dd/dts audio tracks from videos in media player classic, so i need to turn off encoding, with this program i just click the icon then start the video and have the raw dts/dd bitstream sent to my receiver
here's the program, 64bit only changes the location uses to looks for the Creative Audio Console ( \Program Files (x86)\ )
the config.txt also has the location of audio console, and icon names
32bit - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=26GWIJX7 CRC - ?EA4674
64bit - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=22XSMLYS CRC - 0003940

dts is considered the superior format.
It's less compressed. I think they both can awesome personally.

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?

X-fi Gamer\Vista Ultimate 64\Creative DTS-610...any of you gurus know what the problem may

Hi everyone, well, like many of you, I patiently waited for the "new" drivers to be released on March 8th, and was sorely dissapointed that they didn't do much more than the Beta version. Mostly what I wanted, was to have 5. through SPDIF. (My SACD player takes up the analog ports on my home ent. reciever, so this is why I require SPDIF). So, as much as I hated to give more of my money to Creative, I went ahead and bought a DTS-60 to be able to connect the analog output of my X-Fi gamer... to the DTS-60.... to digital "in" on my reciever. Ok, Windows seems to work... I can play movies ripped to my HD and get 5.. (I am a little disappointed that the DTS-60?it is only DTS and not also Dolby Digital, but at least it is 5.)?HOWEVER, when I try to use?any of the Creative?software for testing, I get the right rear speaker playing through the right front, and the left rear seems to play through the center channel. But if I test it in Windows control panel, each speaker plays as it should!?I have looked through all the settings in creatives software and do not see anything that would cause this.
Also what is strange, is that a SACD (super audio CD) will play all 5. channels EXCEPT the left rear. While I am a technical professional (got my Cisco CCNA cert today ;-) I don't pretend to know a lot about sound cards. The PC I just built in which I use this card is the first I have built since SB 6 days. So, I thought I would ask members of this forum who have more experience and are up to speed on the latest sound card technology. So sound card Guru's...Any Ideas on what to look for?Thanks

This is a bump. I hope these ''moderators'' see this and do something about it.

Question for P6N SLI Platinum User : Does ALC888 support Dolby Digital Encoding?

Hello to all P6N SLI Platinum users here,
I have one question regarding Dolby Digital Encoding support on this motherboard. By default, ALC888 does not support Dolby Digital Encoding. But I am still curious. Can you please check on your motherboard, does it support Dolby Digital encoding or DTS Live Connect output to SPDIF? (You may check it by Realtek HD Audio Manager control panel. If there exist such setting option, it means it does support.)
The reason I ask this is I am thinking to switch from 975X Platinum to this board, I am unable to try this myself here as it requires me to reinstall my OS in order to load to WinXP
Thanks in advance.

have a look here:
