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.

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:

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?

Any Dolby Digital Live/DTS Connect support?

I'm just wondering if there were any products (USB/Firewire preferred, but PCI also) that support Dolby Digital Live and/or DTS Connect? Specifically, a product that will output bitstream AC3 or DTS to a home theater receiver via SPDIF?
(and I don't mean simply passing thru a DVD's AC3 or DTS, I mean outputting all system sound via transcoding to AC3/DTS bitstreams)
I've got a bgears b-enspirer for a PC, but I'd rather use a Mac for home theater and possibly World of Warcraft..

Hi Mathew
I have a Griffin FireWave. These are no longer made but may still be available if you search. It is a firewire device which give you 6 (5.1) channels of audio output. The outputs are direct speaker connections (L/R C/S LS/RS), so you need to be sure your home theatre system accepts these. It does NOT have optical outputs to a home theatre system and I think it's unlikely that you'll even find something which does.
The FireWave is a great device. It allows me to choose 5.1 audio output in Audio Midi Setup. It can then be driven in 5.1 mode by suitably written applications, and it also gives me full surround sound when I play a DVD.
I have seen some similar USB devices, but none of them claim to be Mac compatible - which seems rather odd to me!

DTS connect and and Dolby Digital Live Authorization

Hello forums,
I recently purchased a X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro, but i have been unable to use the Dolby Digital Live and The DTS connect, when ever i click to activate them a message comes up in brackets saying "Licence is invalid". I never got a prompt to put in my code, and i don't have the application to do so. Is there anyway to do it online because I believe this is the root of the problem. I have re installed the drivers and all the creative applications but still no luck.
I need this application to properly work my speakers please help.

2 months, no reply. Bumping in hopes for one

Dolby Digital Live : Device already in use, how to enable i

Hello,
I bought Dolby Digital Live yesterday, installed it and activated it on my X-Fi Platinum, but I have a problem. All my drivers are updated, but whenever I try to activate DDL in the Volume Panel or Audio Console, it says that the SPDIF device is already in use.
I tried ending most processes, but the problem is the same, it seems that something is internally using my SPDIF output so that DDL can't be activated. (I'm using Vista Business 32 bits).
It's also impossible to test tones on the SPDIF output as Windows also says it's already in use, that's weird.
Anyone knows how to fix this
Thanks.

Ok it worked, thank you ^^
This is what I did (complete reinstall of Creative suite was not needed) :
- Uninstalled Creative X-Fi through Device Manager (right click on it, then Uninstall and Delete driver option), without rebooting
- Refreshed modifications in Device manager and said "No" to search drivers for multimedia device
- Installed latest X-Fi drivers without rebooting
- Activated Dolby Digital Li've with a right click on the Volume Panel tray icon
- Rebooted?as the sound was only stereo + echo, and now it works perfectly
Concerning DDL, yes, it's only 5., and Creative plans to "give" DTS Connect the same way they did for DDL for old X-Fi.

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.

Does MSI 990FXA-GD80 support Dolby Digital Live?

I need to output DD5.1 to a Turtle Beach Earforce DSS decoder. It know that some realtek-equipped motherboards can encode to DD Live do this but I don't have the option for DD Live in the Realtek Sound Manager under Supported Formats, nor in Windows sound properties under Advanced, although under Supported Formats it does show Dolby Digital (not Live) ticked.
So is it possible to do this or will I need to buy another soundcard?

Dolby Digital Live on Mac Pro?

Is it possible to use Dolby Digital Live on a Mac Pro (2011), OS X Lion? If so, how?
Does OS X Lion support 3rd party audio cards, like Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D Pro?

Seems like Dolby Digital Live with 5.1 is not supported under mac.. bummer

Hi,
I bought a Creative Soundblaster X-f1 5.1 pro soundcard (Model nmber SB1095) today and after installing on my windows XP SP2 machine i can not find the dolby digital live encoding options or 3d options on my entertainment console.
I have a tritton AX Pro headphones, and I am trying to give them DDL input from the Sound card using optical digital out. But, as can be seen in the attached screenshots... i do not see the Dolby Digital Live encoding options anywhere.

Hi,
I am afraid the DDL is only for Windows Vista and Windows 7.
What 3d options are you referring to?
You might want to refer to the product page for details.

is there any chance to get this feature back in vista ultimate x64?
i hope anybody can help me.

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.

BF3 poor audio quality with Dolby Digital Live anabled.

Hello, i have a X-Fi Fatality card connected to audio receiver with the Toslink cable with the Dolby Digital Live enabled, and in BF3 i hear that bullets sounds more like popcorn crack very low quality, with BF2 the audio was awesome. Anyone else having the same problem?

There are several Fatality cards - which one do you have? OS is Win7 i guess? So which driver are you using? Did you try Danial_Ks Support Pack?

Dolby Digital Live

Currently there are very few solutions for those of us that want true digital surround audio in our games. It's sad to say but the best in gaming audio usually comes from console systems because they are typically hooked up to home entertainment systems with spdif digital outs. So just like when you listen to a movie in Dolby Digital 5.1, you get great sound.
Now in the PC world, most games either don't support Dolby, or use some other forms of analog surround.
Dolby came up with a solution, which more games are starting to support. They call it Dolby Digital Live, it's basically a way for computer gamers to get true digital surround audio via a spdif output. The catch is, you have to have a sound card or motherboard which includes Dolby Digital Live.
From the research I've done, it seems the Mac Pros include what Intel calls their High Definition Audio solution, which on most chipsets is also known to include Dolby Digital Live, in this case the ACL880 chipset provided by Realtek should contain DDL.
My question is for those with their Mac Pros, spdif speakers, and XP installed. As mine is still on order, I'd like to find out if this is working. You would need to have a set of 5.1 speakers attached via the optical out of the Pro, and using the correct Realtek drivers under XP, run a game tagged with the Dolby Digital logo, such as Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter.
So basically if it works, you should be getting 5.1 surround and some really nice audio.

Hello Zacabeb,
I understand you are wondering if you can use the Dolby Digital Live on your HP Pavilion 500-205eo Desktop PC. According to the HP Pavilion 500-205eo Desktop PC Product Specifications your audio is the Integrated IDT 92HD73E Audio. I am providing you with the 92HD73E Datasheet, which on page 2 lists Dolby Digital Live™ (DDL) as supported. This being said to enable the Dolby Digital Live in Windows 8.1 I would advise you to ensure you that have downloaded and installed the IDT High Definition Audio Driver.
Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

Msi x79a-gd45 plus and Dolby Digital Live

I bought a pair of Astro A50's to enjoy surround sound music and gaming. I have surround for music but with gaming you need Dolby Digital Live to get 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound with this headset. I have a msi x79a-gd45 plus, now does anyone know if DDL is compatible with my on-board sound card? Apparently you can download DDL for 5 dollars and I'd love to for the sake of surround gaming, but only if it actually works with my card.

Have you checked with the Realtek website for that application?
