FCPX, Compressor and Dolby Digital 5.1

Hi all,
I had Final Cut Pro 7 HD and gone over to FCPX.
The Apple Store in Sydney told me to burn a disc with 5.1 surround sound I should export to Compressor. Tried but no sound. is it possible to burn to disc with 5.1 from FCPX?
I've been using FCP for around 10 years but FCPX is a bit of a learning curve. Even with FCP 7 never needed to use compressor as the movies I make are mainly for friends and family but now I have to have a 5.1 Dolby Digital soundtrack. I understand DVD Studio Pro did that but it's very complicated so please, even though well versed in the old FCP, treat me as a newbie on the new version.
Basically I have footage captured with my new Sony HDR- CX190 and have imported into FCPX. I have some audio I want to dub over the top which is in 5.1 AC3 but the first export only one clip came out, not everything in the timeline and no audio so sent to Compressior and it asked for settings so added them and Compressor said the sound was 5.1 surround and I processed and it burned to DVD but no sound!
You're all probably laughing as it's probably so simple I'm overlooking something that's most likely staring me in the face:
What I need to know is once I have all of my video clips, transitions and 5.1 sound in FCPX - how the **** do I get that onto a DVD or Blu Ray disc that will play all of the footage and in 5.1 Dolby Digital?
Any help will keep me from pulling my hair out!
Thanks
Dan

Be sure you have nothing selected in the timeline, especially ranges.  If you have a range selected, only that range will export.
In 10.0.6/7 in the Share menu you can go out either SD DVD or Blu Ray DVD, and if the audio in the timeline is surround sound, the dics should encode that way.  But be sure the timeline/project is set for surround sound.
If this is a Project timeline, go to the Project library, highlight the project, go to the Inspector, the bottom right is a button with a wrench icon.  Click that and verify that "Audio Channels" is set to "Surround".

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Compressor handled Dolby Digital fine but hangs on H.264

    Hey folks
    Hopefully this is a newbie question..... I search the forums and couldn't find this answer.....
    I have a HDV movie that has been put into final cut pro.... I may have 1 or 2 holes in my audio which is fine I don't mind the silence....
    I sent the project to Compressor and chose HDV 90 minutes since it is about 60+ minutes of footage......
    Compressor handles the Dolby Digital Profession 2.0 find (in about 10 minutes) but then when it goes to H.264 6.75Mbps it litteraly takes for ever....After 11 hours it was only 40% done....
    Is this right or could I have done something wrong in the editing for it to fail?
    -David

    I've had luck with H.264/AAC from Quicktime Player 7 and Adobe Media Encoder. I've never been able to export to Android out of Compressor. The AAC flavours Compressor offers aren't to Android's taste.
    Here's the spec sheet on what is/isn't accepted.
    http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html
    Also, for the record, Google supports and actively contributes to HTML5. The hang up is the video tag in HTML 5 does not specify a codec. Google is dropping support for H.264 video in Chrome when using the video tag because H.264 is proprietary, not open. This is the same reason H.264 video support has never been in Firefox. H.264 will be supported in Chrome through Flash, just as WebM will be supported almost everywhere else via Flash.

    Sorry for not replying - have been away for the past few days.
    Ok, so I go to Creative Device Control, and on the PCI/USB tab I've changed the sampling rate to 48khz.
    It was previously at 44.kHz
    The bit depth is still at 6bit
    Now the problem seems to be solved.
    The problem was only with the output from the device. And now there are no skips!!
    Excellent!
    Why has that solved it though?
    I've read on other forums (head-fi) that the audigy cards do not run at 44.kHz nati'vely so the sound has to be downsampled.
    Is that skipping an artefact of that downsampling process?
    Will having that set at 48kHz, but recording to a 44.kHz 6bit wav file theoretically reduce the quality of the recording - compared to having it set at 44.kHz and recording a wav at 44.kHz?
    On the SPDIF tab the input sample rate is shown as 44.kHz - as that's what is output by the DAC in my minidisc deck.
    But when I changed the sampling rate on the PCI/USB tab, the SPDIF output sampling rate also changed to 48kHz.
    This means if I wanted to record from the optical output, whilst also recording to the computer, and that device only supported 44.kHz - I can't do that?
    You listed some main reasons to the truth, why Creative SB cards are not very popular on serious use (DAW). I.e. need for resampling. X-Fi's in creation mode are (least said to be) the only ones not resample everything.
    There is a setting for "Bit-Accurate-Recording" (digital modes only) --> have you tried if that works on your recordings?

    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.

  • ATV 2G, iOS 4.2 Update and Dolby Digital not playing

    I'm hoping a few folks here have experienced the same issue and can point me in the right direction. I realize that there have been a few threads about this, perhaps with a slightly more pointed question I can at least get something going. To wit:
    I recently upgraded to iOS4.2. Everything runs fine, except the Dolby Digial output. If I have this enabled/auto, and I select a video to play, it will hang indefinitely while it attempts to load. These movies all worked under the previous firmware version, and selecting Dolby Digital output "off" allows the movie to play as it normally had (albeit without 5.1). What changed between versions that now causes this error to occur? What do I need to do on my end to get 5.1 audio working like it was prior to upgrading to 5.1?
    This is very frustrating!

    It's a bug, it effects ALL ATV 2 units running iOS 4.2 and 4.2.1. The bug was introduced at iOS 4.2. There are various workarounds to get your DD to play. Easiest is to start the video, press down arrow, skip to end, let ATV go to menu, select video again (it will play now with DD, if it doesn't just do steps over again).
    If you are not effected then you are just not doing it right, but you DO have the bug.
    The bug has been logged with Apple, feel free to log it again or call and complain. There is not an issue with your ATV physical hardware. Its a software bug. It is repeatable with ANY ATV 2 unit.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Utilizing the DTS ES and dolby digital EX On DV

    Hi Everyone..
    My System specs are:
    CREATIVE Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro PCI 44.99
    CREATIVE Gigaworks S750 7. THX
    Windows XP
    Put simply i'm trying to watch star wars episode 2 in 5. EX and it don't work.
    I have tried many different dvd players on my computer but none have worked.
    I've tried Win DVD, Power DVD, Media Player and a few more but none work.
    I have set the correct audio settings in every dvd player but still it don't work.
    Even when using the THX Menu On the DVD It's not playing the side speakers instead
    when it indicates that the side speakers should be playing a test tone it plays it out the rear speaker.
    sometimes with other players when I select that i'm using 7. it don't play any audio at all.
    And also sometimes when i set up all the options it just crackles in random speakers..
    I have setup all the settings in the drivers and things. and when I play computer games such at half-life 2 the 7. runs perfectly.
    So i don't think it's a settings problem.
    I'm Sure that i have the latest drivers but someone said that maybe i should try using the Audigy 4 drivers instead.
    Is that a good idea? or can somone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
    Thanks Loads

    Thank you for this post, I too was having a small issue where I can hear 5. Digital Sound but couldnt hear any audio when using DTS Audio. I did as instructed, I chose SPDIF instead of the 2 Channel and it worked just fine

  • QT and Dolby Digital

    I am pulling, via the firewire connection, HD programming off my Comcast HD cable box. No problem there. I then use MPEG Streamclip tp export the m2t file to an down converted DV file along with demuxing the AC-3 stream seperately. Also, no problem. I then combine the two back together with DVD Studio Pro 3. Problem is that editing is iompossible at this point. Is there any way to put the DV file, that QT can use, and the demuxed AC-3 file together so that I could then more easily edit the file? I am sure using some expensive editting program would work but doing it with QT is all the editting I need. Thanks! Any help anyone could offer would be wonderful.

  • Dolby Digital and NFORCE2

    To day I visited a computer fair where a vendor was selling the K7N2-L for £76.00 and the K7N2G-L for £96.00, but didn’t have the K7N2G-ILSR. I myself wanted to buy one of them but after thumbing both the manuals and peering hard at the motherboards the only obvious difference between them was the TV out option given to the K7N2G-L. I had a squint at the MCP chip on both boards but all that was written on them was nforce MCP. So I left with out purchasing until I find out a bit more:-
    This is how I understand it at the moment, but I’m probably way off track:-
    K7N2-L no TV out but will output Dolby Digital signal (probably through SPDIF) which needs to be fed to an external decoder and then to the speakers (like the Nforce1 K7N420 Pro (MS-6373)).
    K7N2G-L with TV Out and as above.
    K7N2G-ILSR with TV Out and an onboard Dolby Digital decoder which is then output directly to a 5.1 set of speakers without the need for a separate decoder.
    Let me know what you think?

    Ok then, All the boards come with realtek 6 channel audio ( 5.1) sound, but only the K&N2G-ILSR comes with the above and Dolby Digital 5.1 sound

  • 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?
