Dtt 3500 - Can't choose Dolby Digital DIN / PCM Audio

Hey all,
I've had a DTT 3500 for quite some time now and I was always very satisfied with this surround system.
I recently bought a new 7.1 System for my computer and now use the DTT 3500 along with my videobeamer to play Playstation 2 and XBox games... the soundoutput from these devices works perfect.
My problem is as follows:
I would like to use my DTT 3500 from my computer too, I hooked the DTT 3500 up to my Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS soundcard with the "digital cable" that came with the DTT 3500. I then choose 5.1 speakers and "Digital Output Only"... but I don't hear any sound coming from the DTT 3500.
According to the manual I have to choose "Dolby Digital DIN / PCM Audio". When I try button with which one would accomplish that, I fail as I can only select Optical and Coaxial... I never get a "green light" next to "Dolby Digital DIN / PCM Audio".
Does anybody have the same problem?
The Audigy 2 ZS works wonderful with my 7.1 system and if I uncheck "Digital Output Only" I hear sound, all no problem... also, if I use an AC3 source (eg. XBox 360) I hear sound from the DTT 3500... I just have a problem hooking it up via digital output from my PC with Audigy 2 ZS...
Please help, this is driving me nuts! (And I tried to get it to work all sunday long... )
Cheers
Onkl

onkl0r,
Try disconnecting and then reconnect the DIN cable again. The speaker will need to detect a DIN connection first before the DIN option is selectable on the speaker end.

G510 Dolby Digital Plus Advanced Audio doesnt work driver problem with Windows 8.1

Hi,
my Lenovo G510 has Windows 8.1 64-bit.
In the system menue of Hardware and Sound I can see two entries:
1) Dolby Digital Plus Advanced Audio
2) Dolby Digital Plus Advanced Audio (32-bit)
Clicking on the first entry a control panel appears. Does this mean that Dolby Digital Plus Advanced Audio is always running in the backround? There is no entry in the systray.
Clicking on the second entry this error message appears:
Your current installed version is 7.3.2.2 of the Dolby Digital Plus audio driver. The software needs the driver version 7.5.1.1. Installe a correct combination of driver and software.
What to do with this? I searched for a solution and drivers but couldn´t find anything.
Thanks for your help.
Solved!

ITunes rented movie not outputting Dolby Digital 5.1 audio

The problem with the downloaded movie (Real Steel HD) is
that the Dolby Digital 5.1 (English) audio is not being putput. The movie is only playing back in
"stereo" mode. When playing back on iTunes there are four audio tracks
to choose from:
1. English 1 (This plays stereo)
2. English 2 (NO SOUND) - I believe this should be the Dolby Digital track
3. French (This plays stereo)
4. Spanish (This plays stereo)
Neither of the two English tracks is outputting Dolby Digital 5.1 audio.
I have confirmed that my PC is capable of up to 7.1 surround sound and
my A/V receiver is capable of even more. I have updated both the ATI
Radeon 4500 driver and the Realtek drivers. I have tested and
confirmed that my PC is capable of outputting sound to all 5 of my
speakers and my subwoofer, HOWEVER when playing back the rented movie
in iTunes the maximum audio is stereo. I have the latest version of
iTunes installed, so that shouldn't be the problem.
I have also purchased another movie advertised as Dolby Digital 5.1
audio (The Bourne Supremecy HD) but I am afraid to begin my 24-hour
viewing period because of these audio problems being unresolved.
My question is: Are there known issues of movies purchased on iTunes
and played back on a Windows 7 PC not playing the Dolby Digital
tracks? If so, is there a fix for this via an iTunes settings change
or a Windows update patch?
From the four audio tracks that I listed above, I believe track 2 is
the Dolby Digital track, yet there is NO SOUND when that track is
selected.
Please help, as this is pretty frustrating when your movie night is ruined for the family especially after you've paid for and waited for the movie to download.

I managed to get my DD tracks working.
First had to update itunes to the latest version (10.7.0.21) to get rid of the out of sync sound problem
Then updated the realtek driver. There was an update directly in the realtek website (mine is the HD Audio): http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24& Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
After all that. I tunes wasn't allowing anymore to select the Doubly Digital 5.1 tracks (an improvement).
Then went to the windows properties for the realtek optical output and checked both options to allow application exclusive access and to have priority (http://dailykermit.wordpress.com/2009/09/11/windows-7-exclusive-device-control/)
After all this, I was able to enjoy my rental

Can't stream Dolby Digital movies from iTunes to Apple TV 2 since iOS 4.1

Has anyone the same problem?
Since I updated Apple TV to 4.1 it's not possible to stream movies with Dolby Digital sound to Apple TV anymore. When I try to start playing the movie I get this error message:
The operation coulnd\U2019t be completed.
(BackRowErrors error 326.)
This problem didn't appear on iOS 4.0. Videos with stereo sound still work, so I think it has something to do with the Dolby Digital. I encoded the videos using Handbrake.
Thanks for any help!

I was having the same error. I switched Audio Language to default and Dolby Digital to 'on' and I finally can see the video, but with no sound...
I tried MKVTools and Handbrake, AC3 passthru for audio on both, iTunes plays nice, but Apple TV doesn't. Any other solution?

SB1095 can't see Dolby Digital Live options or 3d options on the Entertainment console

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.

Perhaps silly, but, can Garageband take Dolby Digital 5.1 Input and record?

Using the built in mini toslink on the Mac? Or, can it simply do stereo? I see no reference to digital, or, AC3, or, TOSLINK or anything else in the help.
I have a music source that outputs dolby digital and want to be able to accept input from it.

Didn't think so, have searched the net for products allowing me to use the digital input, have not found any yet. I see things like Handbrake that allow me to convert say MPEG2 movies with DD content, but, what allows me to input the content in the first place?

HD TV Show... can't get Dolby Digital 5.1 to Work

I just bought an episode of Chuck (from NBC). In the description of the show it says that it has Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. I have my macbook-pro hooked up to my surround sound system using a mini-toslink -> optical connector. When playing the episode the Stereo track plays just fine... but if I switch to Surround.... I get no sound.
Any ideas?

I bought LOST season 5 season pass.
I only found out about this 'non-feature' after trying for ages to get it to work and searching for a solution.
When I first complained I got told by support that it was probably a hardware issue and to call the support line. I did, got the same answer, and was then asked to part with more money for continued support, which I declined. I asked point blank whether DD5.1 really only plays back on Apple TV - which was denied.
After continuing to pursue it I finally got an email from 'tier 2' support admitting that 5.1 does only plays back on an Apple TV: here's the text:
+This is+ name removed +from iTunes Store Customer Support and your request+
+has been escalated to me today. I understand that you have been+
+unable to use Dolby surround sound on your computer for your iTunes+
+Store purchases.+
+Dolby 5.1 surround sound is currently only available for the Apple+
+TV. Apple recognizes that no one is better qualified to provide+
+feedback about the content provided on the iTunes Store than the+
+people who use it.+
I got back to them to say I'd like a (small!) partial refund - to cover the costs of my phone bills and disappointment. They've gone silent.
I've now reported it to Trading Standards in the UK as it is misselling. Curiously - since i complained the 'About HD' section - where it used to say +on your Apple TV or Computer+ has been changed.

Dolby digital or pcm

I recently exported a stereo project with unusual results. The preset chosen in AME for the audio (MPEG2-DVD) was PCM. It plays fine on computers and through the volume on televisions. It sounds distorted and super strange on my surround sound. I had to turn the volume off on our surround sound and play it back through the TV. Should I chose Dolby Digital when exporting to DVD?
Thanks,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
If you are using CS6, then in AME when exporting MPEG-2 DVD, the AUDIO tab will have an option for Dolby AC-3 and you can use that, otherwise PCM (.wav) is fine, since Encore will automatically transcode it to Dolby anyway.
As Jim mentioned, if audio sounds messed up, check the settings on the receiver. Mine has a variety of surround modes and some don't provide the desired results at all.I don't think Adobe has anything to do with your issue
Thanks

TS5150 No Dolby digital, only PCM 2ch @ 48 k. Tried every method. Get DD with xbox360 on Netflix but only PCM on Apple TV .

I can't get my Apple TV to send a Dolby Digital signal to my receiver. I have tried going through my tv, HDMI in optical out to the receiver, optical direct. Switching DD on and off in the settings menu, ext. if I use Netflix on my xbox it's in DD no issues. I have a Rotel RSX 1065. I know that it is not the issue. If I disconnect the optical cable from the Apple TV the signal is lost, not an input conflict. Reconnect and it's in PCM 2ch @48k.

Hold select down when playing in Netflix to see if it give you any audio options.
Also it is not necessarily the case that Netflix uses the same media file for all devices - the servers may be tailored to feed an optimised file for the device playing it back.

A small logo of Dolby Digital or DVD-Audio missing when play DVD-A or DVD software with SPDIF

I can see these logo before when I play DVD-A or play DVD movies with SPDIF enabled on DVD software such as PowerDVD. And now it's gone, when play SPDIF, it does not show these logos at all.
I appreciate any advises.
Thanks

for the logos, someone asked how to know what kind of signal his card was decoding. I provided 2 examples:
http://shingoyab.free.fr/creative/dolby.jpg
http://shingoyab.free.fr/creative/dts.jpg
if you don't see them but hear correct surround sound, don't bother. On some situation (not determined which one though) the logo disapears. I lost them some rare times. Last times was when listening to some DD music when programming small homeworks in OpenGL.

Yeah Handbreak upgrade now does Dolby Digital 5.1!!!

http://handbrake.fr/
Handbreak can now create MPEG4 files from DVDs in the exact format like the one purchased from iTunes.. so can be played on AppleTV, iPod, iPhone etc.
MPEG4 with H.264 video, Audio Tracks can choose Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC3) + Dolby ProLogic II, Audio Track 2 - whatever you want.
tried it last night work flawlessly and is about twice as fast encoding as before (not a carefull test but it was WAY faster)
and it's free!!

Can anyone please help me on this, if you guys can check is the 2-track option available while watching movies on iPad 2... or is it just me who is unable to find it despite these movies being encoded in DD 5.1

Question about Dolby Digital 5.1 in Soundtrack Pro 3

Hi folks,
I am pretty confused in regards to using Soundtrack Pro 3 to create and export a AC-3 dolby digital 5.1 file to be used in burning a Blu Ray DVD using Toast Titanium 11. I admit that overall I am somewhat Final Cut Studio savy but for the life of me I cannot find reliable and understandable tutorials re: the dolby digital thing. I am hoping that there are people out there who will be patient with my admitted ignorance
So, what I am working on?
107 minute feature documentary film edited using FCP 7 with 65 tracks of audio mixed down (using STP3) to six (1 & 2 dedicated to Voice, 3 & 4 dedicated to sfx and ambient sounds, 5 & 6 dedicated to music.)
What do I want to do?
My film is going be to be screened at a festival next month and so I want to burn a blu ray disc (using Toast Titanium 11) with AC-3 Dolby digital 5.1 audio as apposed to 2 channel stereo.
What I don't understand?
I'm not entirely sure how the Dolby 5.1 export using STP3 works. My questions are:
Will it take a 2 channel stereo final mix and convert and export it so that it will be a Dolby Digital? If so, what about the 6 channels of audio that I mentioned before. Is it better to mix those 6 down to 2 before doing the Dolby 5.1 export?
If so, what if the theatre equipment (or any home dvd player) is not able to play Dolby 5.1? Will it then play the Blu Ray in 2 channel stereo or will there be issues?
Is there a 'standard' Dolby Digital setup when having to choose the 'Audio Coding Mode?'
And/or:
What settings would you suggest for very high quality Blu Ray export?
Anyways, I know there is a helluva lot of questions there but I obviously wanna get this right. Huge thanks in advance to any advice/suggestions you can give.
Cheers!

HI,
briefly from what comes to mind is;
your tracks need to be assigned via the Surround Sound Panner options, either or both in the tracks and submixes. Read about Surround Sound in Soundtrack Pro and also the effect options via the sound design reverberation. (The latter can create surround from a stereo submix as well )
The next chapter is the export option. FILE>EXPORT
The master can be optionally exported in Dolby surround AC-3 with a number of options you need to set in this window.
Then burning is the next chapter. I trust Toast can manage but have not tried yet.
When burning to Blue Ray one actually should use full resolution PCM files WAV format for highest quality
Audio Surround Sound. The Export then would need to be uncompressed from your final STP mix in single mono files (which is an option in STP ) and then imported into a special burning program.....
THese are my 2 cents in general.

X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro cannot see 5.1 Dolby Digital input via Optical link (mods, please he

X-Fi Fatalty Pro cannot see 5. Dolby Digital input via Optical link. I am pumping my Xbox360 through the Digital I/O dongle and every thing works OK using Dolby Stereo, outputing to my 5. analog speakers. However, it does NOT work when choosing Dolby Digital 5.. My SPDIF tab just says unknown input.
Please help, this is very frustrating...

Ok, for those who also wanted to know the outcome, I though I'd post.
I was told that the dongle cannot decode 5. to analog, but the Dri've Upgrade and the Console Upgrade could (at $80/$80 vs. $5).
Great.
So what I want to know is this:? what chipset or connection is Creative putting in the Dri've Upgrade and Console Upgrade? It seems to me that the card should be doing the decoding, not the type of optical port. If it's getting the signal, then what is the problem? Is is that the flexijack cannot output/input 5. at all, only stereo?
Anyway, the Digital I/O dongle is going back, the thing is useless for my purposes. While I can hear 360 games fine, DVD's on it default to 5. if they have that type of audio, and there is no way to switch it to stereo; it gives me only silence then.
And mods, nothing in my frustration is with you; you seem to be very helpful and responsi've. I just wish the rest of the company would get on the ball.

XBOX Dolby Digital 5.1 (optical) -- SB Live 5.1 Platinum -- Logitech Z5300 - IS IT POSSIBL

When the XBOX is set on Stereo or Dolby Surround (both with Dolby Digital set to off), I get sound out of four speakers and sub, but no center channel. This is in games, movies, and menus/music.
When the Dolby Digital is enabled, there is light pop/static sound followed by NO AUDIO. This occurs when I put a game or movie into the XBOX.
Menu sounds and XBOX music files come through in 4. no matter what the XBOX settings.
When I play DVDS and games on the computer, the Dolby Digital works great.
Is the setup I desire possible? Can the Li've Dri've's optical in accept Dolby Digital? If not, WHY NOT?
The speakers are analog. CMSS is off. I've swapped XBOXs, AV packs, and optical cables.
ApexAnalog

you will have to use movie mode in presets , which is cmss to get sound from sb5. and optical out on the xbox and optical in on li've dri've.
And have the advanced av pack and goto xbox audio settings and choose dolby digital enabled, as you have done.
But the card is not doing dolby digital, its uplaoding to the speakers in a simulated dolby digital mode, much as in the same way if you just connect the left/right audio pins, to the AUX 2 in at front of li've dri've.
Well thats how my 4 sb5. and li've dri'ves do it, so they all can,t be broken, or every single xbox i have plugged in, in much the same ways as external dvd players and the li've dri've optical in on sb5, handle it.
So unless someone at creative can tell us how to get dd5. with this setup. Thats what im saying, try it for yourself, then get a dd5. decoder and see the difference.
