DTS-HD DOBLY DIGITAL TRUEHD questions

i bought a new harman kardon receiever, supposely it says it'll support dolby digtal HD and DTS HD and all that new hd audio stuff. right now im connecting my PS3 to it. using an optical cable (suggested by Magnolia Home Theater people, claiming hdmi can not pass HD audio for PS3, i actually find that true, hdmi can only pass stereo sound for ps3... yah kinda weird)
so anyways when i watch movie, i go in to the audio selection and selected DTS-HD. But when the movie start playing, on the screen it only says "DTS". soo................ how do i know if it's really producing DTS-HD sound?
oh yah the one i have is AVR-254. (<---- model just incase one of the mod or admin ask me for the model)

Hello u_hsen,
I’m sorry to hear that you’ve run into a bit of an issue with your new equipment. Hopefully I can help get you pointed in the right direction for a solution.
I read the owner’s manual for your Harman Kardon receiver and discovered that it should dynamically identify the type of input signal. You can, of course, manually change these settings as you determine necessary. If you don’t have a copy of the manual, I found it for download at the manufacturer’s website.
On looking at the Playstation website, I went to the support section to see what troubleshooting tips there are for Blu-ray audio. According the site, you should select Linear PCM (under BD/DVD settings) as the audio output for Dolby True HD and DTS Master Audio. I’d recommend visiting the site for full details.
I hope this helps,

Dobly digital ok, but no dts sig

Hi all,
From pjc's sticky post I've been able to get Dobly Digital out through my SB Li've 5. to my receiver. However I can't seem to get DTS working properly.
I've checked to ensure my audio playing software sends straight to SPDIF and does no decoding (well it can't decode DTS anyways). I've tried a DTS wav file and a DTS movie. Neither have any sounds. The receiver detects a signal and I hear static when it's set to PCM, but no DTS signal.
I've tried playing sources using WinDVD, Media Player classic, Media Player 6.x, Media Player 9.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is it possible that SB Li've 5. can't support outputing the DTS signal to the digital out line because it requires too much bandwidth?
Thanks in advance.Message Edited by drbling on 08-28-2006 03:07 PM

I tried putting the DVD in a regular (albiet cheap) DVD player and the receiver wouldn't detect DTS audio either. I am positi've the receiver supports it. I only bought it a week ago and it has a DTS logo on it.
After further investigation I'm leaning on #. Is it possible my receiver can decode DD ok but its DTS functions are broken?
I wonder if I can convince my friend to bring his receiver to my place to confirm :P
Thanks for the help sonic.

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

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..

DTS or Dolby Digital codec plugin?

Has anyone seen or heard of a Dobly Digital (AC3) or DTS codec AU plugin? I would find that MOST useful. I haven't been able to find anything of the sort.
JB

Never heard of one. Encoding is only done by Dolby (either using A.Pack or now Compressor, or Dolby's high-end software in non-realtime, or DTS software. You can find them at respecitve web sites. Since Dolby 5.1 comes with Compressor, it's definitely the cheapest solution. DTS software is fairly pricey.
I asked sales at Dolby and they said ther is no "real-time" encoding/decoding solution for monitoring as the encode/decode process adds significant delay to the signal path, which doesn't make for easy mixing/monitoring. They also said there are no plans to allow compressor to output Dolby Digital EX (6.1; surround back) at all.
So looks like we are stuck with downmixing to surround files, then processing through Compressor, then monitoring in DVD Player using a HomeTheater receiver (be sure to switch the digital outs to S/PDIF out in Audio/Midi setup dialog).

Cyberlink PowerDVD software with DTS and Dolby Digital -EX decoding

I've just bought Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio today. On the cover, it says "download Cyberlink PowerDVD software with DTS and Dolby Digital -EX decoding for free...". My question is where I can download this soft. Please help. Thank you in advance. My

There should a link in your Creative folder within the Programs Menu. Have you check that?

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.

Get DTS and Dolby Digital work

Download ffdshow tryout filters from [url="http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout">here[/url] these filters are simply great for Vista they were actually written for it unlike previous versions of ffdshow.
Thanks to those babies I have full XviD x264 and so on playback even in Media Center. Vista still crashes due to the driver issue though still waiting for proper drivers from Creative for my overpriced Audigy 2zs platinum pro.
Funnily enough the drivers dated March 6th check out to be dated as the 2th of February if you view them through Device Manager, so that's over 2 months of problems and not a single driver update. Waiting and hoping.Message Edited by euphoria_aus on 04-9-200703:52 AM

Hello,
I purchased a mini to TOSLINK optical cable to connect my GT70 0NC to my Logitech Z-5500 5.1 speaker system and I was wondering if the ALC892 supports Dolby Digital Live. I'm able to get DTS and Dolby Digital to work just fine, but I don't see an option to change the default format of the digital output in the Realtek HD Audio Manager to Dolby Digital Live. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit with the latest audio drivers available.
Thanks
I hate saying this.
Do yourself a favor, go buy an Asus Xonar U3, plug it in, and you will be much happier.
I have a Z680 (precursor to the Z5500, pretty much the same thing though), and I couldn't stand how bad the Realtek HD performed. The Asus Xonar does a much better job. You hook it up, set it to output to the 'speakers', but have your TOSLINK cable connected, and you get upconverted dolby digital live sound output. Couldn't ask for anything better. The U3 only runs about $40, so it's not a huge investment.

Audigy platinum. windows 7, problem with dts and dolby digital

Try copy those corrupted files and make sure you are using the same certificate and then re-encrypt the copied files and try decrypt them.
If possible, use the same account as you used for encryption.

WS Security digital certificate question

I have a BPEL process which I have secured using OWSM. I am using digital certificates which I have generated using the keytool command.
Say I have two clients A and B and both have their certificates and send the messages. The request contains a field called sender. A should specify this field as A, and B should specify this as B. How do I verify that A send the message in which the the sender is specified as A.
I want to validate against the digital certificate belongs to sender A. He does not fool me by providing the certificate of A but in the message sends the sender as B.
Is this scenario valid? If yes how to resolve if not why not?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Sash

this is not really a certificate issue. Its more of your application / process and where you want to handle this validation. (either at OWSM or else where).
When Sender A is digitally signing the message it is coming only from A (unless the private key / cert is stolen, etc). It A itself sends wrong value for sender field, they are not sending message as per your schema.
To answer your question, yes you can validate if the sender field matches with one of the fields in your cert such as Organization Name or you can map to your database. You have to write a custom step in OWSM to match the certificate information with the sender field.
Thanks

What formatting/zooming features do YOU use in Photoshop CS6? (Digital art question)

Hi, I am a beginner dabbling in digital art, and I was wondering what format you use. Examples include "Default Photoshop size", "U.S. Paper", "Web", etcetera. I feel that the paper, without doing anything to it, is too small for details.
Also, when what do the pros in digital art do as for zooming in? Do they set it "Fit on screen", "100%", "200%"? I'm talking about maybe concept paintings that have very small and fine details.
Sorry my questions are sort of awkwardly-phrased. I don't know the correct terminology.

The size and resolution depends on the intended output.
In my opinion relevant zooming shortcuts would be cmd-0 (View > Fit on Screen), cmd-1 (View > 100%) and cmd-spacebar/cmd-alt-spacebar to temporarily switch the current Tool to the Zoom Tool.

X-FI Titanium digital in question

Hello,
Here is my problem.
I have a Stanton T.90 turntable that has an spdif output that I would like to use to connect to my soundcard.
In order to do just that, I also bought an spdif/toslink converter. I did some tests on my sound system and everything works fine.
So I use the same setup and hook up the turntable to my X-FI titamium and ... no sound. At all.
Might be a problem with the soundcard. So I plug my dvd player to the soundcard using a toslink cable. Evreything works fine.
So my question is, why isn's an spdif/toslink converter working woth this soundcard while any other digital sources working? :smileysurprised:
I'm using Vista x64?SP2.
Any ideas?

Yes, thank you, much more readable.
I agree that you should probably do a complete uninstall and reinstall. Use a driver cleaner if you have one you are familiar with, just in case. And you can try going into device manager and seeing if there are any Creative entries, and use the uninstall (with delete driver software option checked) function there.
Be sure to only use the drivers and software from the CD; there are not currently any downloadable Titanium drivers. There is an ALchemy and wavestudio update you can apply after you install from the CD, if you end up using either of those applications.
Post if you have further issues, but hopefully that will do the trick.

X-Fi Fatal1ty - Digital Out questions

Hey everyone, I've done a bit of reading on this, but I'm still confused.
First, some background. I've been looking for a small speaker solution where I don't have to run speakers to the back of my office. I've decided to go with the Pioneer HTS-GS - it's branded as an Xbox Home Theater in a box. What I like about this system is that it will do a "spatial surround" and let me keep the rear speakers on my desk. It also has multiple inputs so I can hook up my xbox as well.
Now on to my question. I have the X-Fi Fatalty. I've read the sticky post stating that with PC 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 - that confuses me a bit. I ran through the speaker connectivity wizard. There's an image in there that shows I can use the mini digital DIN connection to connect to a coax digital port (see here: http://ask.americas.creative.com/wwimages/speakers/xfi_xtrememusic_digital_speakers.jpg).
Now - does that mean that EAX will pass through and I'll have surround while playing games? Sorry for my confusion. I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing...
Thanks!

I have the exact same problem with my Fatalty sound card! So if anyone has a solution to this problem please replay.

Digital sound question

If I was to buy the cable below, will it fit into the sound port on the macbook and if this the kind of cable that uses that red light inside the port?
If I was to use this, will the light go on automatically when I plug it in?

sorry

Directly from Apple's site:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303704
Connect external speakers, headphones, or optical digital audio equipment. The headphone / line output jack accommodates optical digital audio output, analog audio output with a 24-bit, 44.1-192 kHz D/A converter, digital audio output up to 24-bit stereo and 44.1-192 kHz sampling rate and supporting encoded digital audio output (AC3 and DTS). For analog headphone / line output a standard audio cable with 3.5mm metal plug should be used. For digital audio, a standard toslink cable with a toslink mini-plug adapter can be used.
Take a look at this, I am not 100% sure this will work but its a toslink cable with toslink mini-plug adapter kit.

Digital ID Question

Hi, I'm quite new to this, so sorry if this sounds like a silly question. I have a form that I've developed using livecycle and need to distribute it to companies that will then pass it on to employees (maybe 50 companies with 10 to 70 employees each).
I've figured out that I can encrypt the document and include users in the encryption if I have exchanged public keys, which seems to work very well. However, I don't want the form to be used for any longer than 12 months, can I change the expiry date of the encrypting certificate? Could I purchase a digital ID from verisign and set my own expiry date?
I have spent days now trying to find the answer to this and it's driving me mad. The form will not have net access as it will be used on laptops away from the workplace.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Sean

Since the extensions were brought up, they are only needed if you were to need the save of the file. If you have folks submit data to a web server (not the entire form), then it is not a problem. They should still be able to print the data. Since your setup looks like it would exceed the 500, you would need to call Adobe an negotiate a price if you need to use it.
As for your basic question, the other post suggested the best way to set and expiration. Other than that, you may be able to write some JavaScript that would simulate the same phenomena. You might want to ask in the scriptiong forum for related information -- I am not really a JavaScript programmer.

Digital Audio Question

My G5 has these digital audio ports.
Can I hook that up to a theatre surround sound reciever and jam?
Is that what digital audio is for?
Thanks

The Digital Output on the iMac can output whatever Digital Audio your Cable can carry and your Amplifier can Decode.
Unfortunately, most Surround Sound Amplifiers can only accept 5.1 Dolby Digital 2, 5.1 (or 7.1) DTS and 2.0 Channel LPCM.
Your Mac can Pass-through Dolby Digital 2 or DTS (from DVD Player, for example), but 5.1 and 7.1 Audio encoded in other formats (like AAC or WMA) has to be downcoded to 2.0 LPCM to be sent over Optical Cable to your Amp.
If you really have to playback that carefully crafted AAC 5.1 Audio track with surround sound, you will have to use the Analogue Input of your Amplifier, and an Analogue Sound card like the Griffin FireWave.
