DTS and Vista over optical using Audigy 2 ZS Plati

So I know this is a long shot but...
Is it possible to get DTS using optical on vista (retail)? I know my amp does it since I use the same amp for my 360 but I can't figure it out with my Audigy 2, the more I can get is 5 speaker pro-logic II. Any suggestions on what to do?
When I run the DTS test in vista (right click volume control -> playback devices -> right click SPDIF Out -> Supported Formats) I get no sound, and when i run the audio test I only get my front two speakers then too.Message Edited by -pete- on 03-29-200708:50 AM

Viterbi,
One thing to think about is that the 24bit 96KHZ is that when you convert to MP3 it is going to resample it. With the Mediasource converter it will sample anything encoded at 96KBPS at 44. but it will not go up to 48KHZ. At 44. you will hear artifacting if you converted from a WAV that was at 96KHZ.
The problem you are running into with lame is that it may not support 24Bit/96KHZ wav files. Check with LAME to see if there is a way to get 24/96 support with it.

HT4889 Hi. I`ve just started transferring from my old Imac to a new Macbook, using the WIFI. But I realize it will take days to get it done. Can I cancel the process, and start over again using the thunderbolt port? Without causing any trouble?

Problem with multichannel output, DTS and DD thru optical

I am using my iMac as a media center in my living room, but I am having trouble playing files encoded with DTS and Dolby Digital audio -- they will only output a stereo signal.
My equipment:
- iMac G5 w/ Leopard
- Pioneer VSX-D509S receiver
- Toslink optical cable
I have changed my mac's midi settings to output "encoded digital audio," and have tried to play DTS encoded files in Quicktime (I have perian installed), VLC Player, and also Plex. I can only seem to get a stereo signal coming out of my receiver. I have also tried to play DD and DTS encoded DVDs on my mac's DVD Player application, which also only outputs a stereo signal.
When I open the midi audio settings on my mac, and I go into the Configure Speakers section, only Stereo is active, and all other multichannel options (5.1, etc) are grayed out. My receiver, however, seems to recognize the digital signal because it will display DTS or DD on the front screen.
Am I missing something simple here? Or could this be a more complicated issue?

Are you able to change your audio output in the audio/midi setup app from 2-ch to "Encoded Digital Audio"? I saw this step here: http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=26759

Share iTunes library between Leopard and Vista, over LAN

Hi,
I would like to share my iTunes library on my Mac, so that our other Vista computer can access it.
I have ticked 'Look for shared libraries' on both the Mac and PC. We use a LAN setup with a firewalled router. I am able to access the Mac's public folder from the Vista PC and vice versa.
Except, the Mac library is not present in iTunes on PC. I used the latest iTunes on both computers.
Is there something that I am missing, maybe a port that I have to forward or anything else? Also, do I have to enable another kind of sharing on the Mac, except Sharing in iTunes?
Can someone please give me some advice?
Regards

Just for your info, Vista ***** whatever you try to do. I'm stuck with Vista on a pre-installed laptop. All experience I have from Vista is bad, don't buy Vista or a computer with preinstalled Vista if you can avoid it.
We have three computers in a home network, one Macbook Pro, one PC with Windows XP, and the Vista laptop. All are using iTunes-8, downloaded and installed last week.
Sharing iTunes libraries using the option to share libraries on a local network works fine between Mac and Windows-XP. The sharing also works fine between the XP and the Vista PC.
But the Vista PC can't access the Mac iTunes library. When trying to open the Mac library, iTunes on the Vista computer says something like "Fetching library info from...". It's the same problem when trying to access the Vista library from the Mac.
We had a similar problem when trying to access shared folders on the local network. Thanks to a tip on this forum how to tweak the Vista registry, the shared folder problem was solved.
I'm think some registry setting in Vista might solve iTunes shared library problems. Maybe some Windows freak knows how to patch the registry to solve this issue.
Otherwise the solution is to trash Vista, and install Windows-XP.

VIA connection and Cross over connection using AWR MWO

Sir,
      I want to connect the top conductor to bottom conductor through VIA in AWR MICROWAVE OFFICE. I am able to generate the top and bottom condutor , but am not able to connect VIA from top to bottom conductor and also how we have to observe via ,top and bottom conductors using 3D view. I have shown the below figure name CROSS_OVER_VIA_HOLE, have to generate like this. I have shown also my generated top and bottom conductor EM structure and also 3D view

Most people just attach the .emp file to their message. Were you not able to do that? Please try again.
If you are new to EM simulation in the AWR design environment, please read our documentation on the EM Editor and watch this video.
1. Assuming this is a 2-sided board, when you define the dielectric layers, set them up as
     Air
    Dielectric
    Air
If you are using AXIEM and thick metal, add a second air layer to the bottom, and make the one just below the dielectric as thick as the conductor on the bottom side of the board. Conductors sit on TOP of the specified dielectric layer, and protrude into the dielectric layer above.
2. Just draw a circle using via material. Vias start from the top of the specified dielectric layer, and extend downward through as many dielectric layers as specified by "Extent".
3. In layout, you can overlap two shapes drawn on the same layer, and execute an exclusive OR (XOR) or Subtract command.

Vista ultimate x64 any chance to get decoding of dts and dolby digital for audigy 2 zs platinum

hello,
i need the support of deconding dts or dolby digital for my audigy 2 zs platinum pro.
is there any chance to get this feature back in vista ultimate x64?
i hope anybody can help me.
thanks for all
steffen

According to Creative, Vista no longer supports the decoding of Dolby and DTS at the driver level, so no, that feature proabably won't added back in the future. It is gone for all the Creative cards.

SB Audigy OEM and Vista with SP

I've just purchased the Audigy OEM with the external SPDIF connection. I have plugged this in to my amp (Marantz 9200) and can get sound using Vista Media Centre and DTS or Dolby sound ok. I'm unable to play any music however via the SPDIF connector. Does anybody know a fix for this? Will music play via media player via optical/coax, or do you have to connect the single pin to stereo output?Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately if you read the release notes for the Vista compatible driver it tells you not to use it on your particular sound card ;(?http://us.creative.com/support/downl...rtype=&x=2&y=7?Notes:
DO NOT?install this driver for Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit, Sound Blaster Audigy LS, Sound Blaster Audigy SE, or Sound Blaster Audigy Value.<However when you tell the site you have an Audigy Value card it directs you to these incompatible drivers
go go Creative

Installing Windows 7 with Bootcamp and then XP or Vista over it

Hi
I want to know if it is possible to install windows XP or Vista over Windows 7 that has been installed via Bootcamp.
I am currently using OS X Lion 10.7.3.

You can use Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Microsoft Windows 7 Professional, or Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate with Boot Camp 4.0. Windows XP and Windows Vista are not supported with Boot Camp 4.0.

DTS & 5.1 Surround Sound using my Home AV Receiver and X

Hello, new to the boards and computers (buying @ least). Let me start with my Desktop, followed by the sound card and my home AV Recei'ver. BTW, all drivers are current and up to date.
HP m820n
Processor
Intel Viiv Processor Intel Core2 Quad Processor Q6600 (2.4GHz)
Operating system
Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum Fatalty w/ I/O Dri've
AV RECEIVER
Yamaha HTR-5730 5. w/ DTS and Dobly Pro Logic II.
Connection between the two:
Digital Coax Cable from X-Fi I/O SPDIF Out to AV Reciever CD Coax Digital Input.
At first there wasn't any sounds coming from my receiver using the current connection (see above). However, I was able to change an input to digital PCM (pulse code modulation) on my AV Recei'ver and all of the sudden, I'm listening to mp3 & wma files in surround sound (all 6 speakers).
I thought that the problem was solved. Well then today I discovered it changed to stereo only, and as long as the digital input cable was hooked in back of the receiver, I couldn't change the setting from "stereo, PCM" to DSP, DTS or DoblyII. Solution? buy the Home Theater cable set or external decoder.
Next Problem, for some reason when I change the X-Fi settings to 5. ( or 2.0) and set up a "test" (whether creat.labs or Window's Media Center)there's no sound coming from any channel/speakers. HOWEVER, my AV Recei'ver will even change the setting from "Stereo" to "5." on the test automatically....but still, there's no sound??
So.... I ignored it and figured to grab my Led Zeppelin Double Disc DVD that's Dobly Digital and DTS 5. Sorround sound. After messing w/ the default & SPDIF by-pass settings and inserting the DVD, I can only listen to it in Stereo (left and right PCM). BTW, changed audio selection in menu on DVD too.
What gives? What's digital even good for on these things since the only solutions are to ether decode or switch to analog. Also, sorry that this is so long and possibly parts don't make sense but I'm extremely tired (2:45 am Central).
Thanks,
Chris

To the Top...
Also, an update. Using my TV Tuner card, I was able to watch tonights football game in HD which is Dobly 5. Surround sound. Sure enough, the AV Recei'ver kicked into Dobly Digital right away. Now I just need to figure out how to configure DTS and Dobly using my DVD's and possibly buying software that converts music files into surround sound.

Sound Blaster Z SPDIF and optical cable + DTS and DDL settings

i bought a new z-906 to have as a speaker system for my computer. what i did was:
bought sound blaster z and a optical cable. i installed the software for the sound blaster z and started configuring it.
i plugged one end of the optical cable in the SBZ and the other end in the z-906. then i started configuring using windows sound panel and SBZ i first used the spdif-out on the panel but eventually that sounded a bit off to what 5.1 should sound.
then after a good while trying to figure out why it gave me the message "usupported format" when i was trying to use DDL or DTS. i searched on google then i read something someone else couldnt figure out and used that.
what i did to get DDL and DTS to work was: (might require a fresh install of SBZ and all services in msconfig to work)
i opened windows sound panel, clicked on spdif-out and pressed properties. then i clicked on formats or supported formats tab and enabled everything with a checkbox. then clicked OK or Apply.
back on the sound panel again. here you have 2 configs that comes with the sound blaster z. i clicked on speakers then on "use as standard. then on configure and selected 5.1 surround, and on the next, center, subwoofer and rear. and unless you got a 7.1 system (or you could configure this in SBZ panel) i dont think you would need left and right front and surround-speakers since its already enabled in the first window as enhancing then i rebooted and reinstalled the SBZ and made sure all the services in msconfig tab was set to start and run on boot. and voila i had sound. (just to clarify. i didnt have sound for awhile since the DDL and DTS settings made my speakers to snowy sound until i figured out why)

one other thing you need to set in your creative control pannel speakers mode not headset mode.
and also under the cinematic tab you have to enable : Encoder : dolby digital live 5.1
then you will get sound.
the issues will crop up though if you fix em let me know, if you want the issues to happen right away select DTS as encoder we/or i know this mode will not work with these headsets but thats the same issues that popup even under dolby digital live settings.

- Connect the iPod to the computer and see if iTunes sees it. If it sees it try to get the photos off the iPod.
- Next let the battery fully drain. It will likely take days. After charging for at least an hour try again
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, what should i do?

I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, I honestly think this is out raging because i spend over $200 on this. To have for music and instagram. I use it about an hour a day, but i've only been using it for about 3 months although i've had it since December. Any suggestions that may help me?

Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Hi, I am using HP11 and iPlanet web server. When trying to upload files over HTTP using FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" that are bigger than a few Kilobytes i get a 408 error. (client timeout).

Hi, I am using HP11 and iPlanet web server. When trying to upload files over HTTP using FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" that are bigger than a few Kilobytes i get a 408 error. (client timeout). It is as if the server has decided that the client has timed out during the file upload. The default setting is 30 seconds for AcceptTimeout in the magnus.conf file. This should be ample to get the file across, even increasing this to 2 minutes just produces the same error after 2 minutes. Any help appreciated. Apologies if this is not the correct forum for this, I couldn't see one for iPlanet and Web, many thanks, Kieran.

Hi,
You didnt mention which version of IWS. follow these steps.
(1)Goto Web Server Administration Server, select the server you want to manage.
(2)Select Preference >> Perfomance Tuning.
(3)set HTTP Persistent Connection Timeout to your choice (eg 180 sec for three minutes)
(4) Apply changes and restart the server.
*Setting the timeout to a lower value, however, may prevent the transfer of large files as timeout does not refer to the time that the connection has been idle. For example, if you are using a 2400 baud modem, and the request timeout is set to 180 seconds, then the maximum file size that can be transferred before the connection is closed is 432000 bits (2400 multiplied by 180)

Firefox mage quality and resolution was superb when I used XP and Vista. Now that I have Windows 7, however (with the Firefox 3.6.3 version), the image quality and resolution is poor. Please help me!

I am using the Firefox 3.6.3 version with my new Windows 7 operating system. When I used all the previous Firefox versions in my XP and Vista operating systems, image quality and resolution was excellent! However, now that I have upgraded to Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.3, the image quality and resolution is poor (unacceptable for downloading purposes).
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I first activated my new computer and installed the Firefox 3.6.3.

All my images are pixelated in firefox 3.6.3
http://www.dcgdcreative.com
Not only on my site but on most sites I view.
The issue is not solved by resetting the zoom text view (ctrl+0)
The issue is not resolved by starting in safemode with add-ons disabled
The problem seems to only affect .jpeg files and only on Windows 7 on my desktop; as I have viewed several sites using windows XP with my laptop, no issues.
I had the same issue with IE8 and was able to fix the problem with by setting up the compatibility view for all sites. Issue fixed no problems at all. But nothing similar for firefox?
Whats the deal?

Using VMWare Fusion and Vista for NetFlix Watch Now

Hi, I have installed Fusion and Vista in order to use NetFlix's Watch Now feature on my MBA. The installation was easy and Vista seems to be working fine. However, I can't get the Watch Now movie going. The film will start (after NetFlix determines my internet speed, etc.) and alternate between play and pause. Has anyone used this combination with success? Would a downgrade to XP work better? Or I should just use Boot Camp? Thanks.

I've used WinXP with Fusion on a MacMini and it was fine (but faster in BootCamp). I'm currently running Vista Business on a MacBook Pro in Parallels and while it isn't slow, it certainly is slower than in BootCamp. I expect Fusion would run Vista a bit faster - Fusion does tend to be a bit faster than Parallels but Parallels seems to get along better than Fusion with one of the applications I'm using.
There are advantages to BootCamp and BC isn't incompatible with virtualization. I suggest that you go ahead and install Vista in BootCamp. If you haven't already bought Fusion, download the demo and see how it runs using the BootCamp installation and compare that to BootCamp itself. Then decide.
