Help.. What sound card to go with ddts 100??

HI everyone,?I just bought my samsung lcd tv and i am very anxious to get the ddts-100. But the problem now is: What sound card should i get? Get a Xi-Fi Extreme Music or just a cheaper soundcard will do since the decoding will be done by the decoder. Can anyone advise on this? I hope to spend lesser on the sound card but if it is really needed then i will get good one. Thanks.
Regards,Kekin

Bear in mind the DDTS-100 will only decode Dolby and DTS (and their varieties). That is, it will happily decode the surround from a dvd (assuming your soundcard and software passes it over the digital) but it will only get stereo when gaming or using CMSS for music.
So, the DDTS-100 is a great partner to a standalone dvd player, games console, and whatever else you have hooked up to the tv. It will also play nice when watching dvds on the pc. It has a good upmixer for music and stereo tv too. If thats roughly what you had planned then it will fit that role nicely. Its also more convenient than switching manually over to the pc (with the switcher box) when you want to use it instead of the decoder.
If you were planning to do everything on the pc then it may be a bit pointless as your soundcard and software could do it all instead. Also, i suspect the quality will be better from a decent X-Fi than the DDTS-100 but havent got around to doing a comparison yet.

Help connect X-fi Elite Pro with DDTS-100 and Gigaworks s750

Hi,
I purchased a brand new Gigaworks s750 speakers system, DDTS-100 decoder and X-fi Elite Pro. I connected the DDTS-100 and Elite Pro using Optical Fibre output from the audio console of X-fi Elite Pro to the optical digital input of DDTS-100. With the cables supplied with s750, I connected it to the Decoder DDTS-100. The problem is I am not getting any sound from the rear speakers and the front speakers. Only the centre speakers and the side speakers are producing sound. I could hear loud hissing sound and very very low volume of the music from the front speakers and no sound from the rear speakers. I can hear good quality sound from the centre speakers and average quality sound from the side speakers. What could possibly have gone wrong with my setup ? Somebody please help me. Thanx in advance.

Hi Richie,
Thanq for your response. But unlike what you have mentioned, ("what may be happining is the soundcard is decoding the signal and then the ddts is trying to decode it with disatrous results"), In my setup the signal is not getting decoded two times, once by Soundcard and once by the DDTS-100. As I have mentioned that I am taking out an Optical Signal from the sound card to the DDTS-100, the signal comming out from the sound card to the DDTS is Encoded signal only. So there doesnt arise a chance that the signal is getting decoded twice. Can you think of any other reason why my setup is not working? Please let me know.
regards,
Rahul M

What is a decent sound card to use with DJ Mixer Pro?

I'm having trouble finding a compatible external sound card to use with my Mac Mini. Specifically, I need one that supports surround sound to use with DJ Mixer Pro. I am currently unable to use the "Preview" function of the program during my sets to ensure proper blending from one track into another. I've gotten pretty good at working around it, but with the proper sound card I should be able to preview a track in the "rear" of the surround sound without disturbing the "front", which plays live to the crowd. Most information I can find on sound cards pertains to home theatre application, which I have no interest in. I also don't need anything too sophisticated as I use the program for local club performances instead of professional production. I would prefer something that connects through firewire to prevent any kind of delay, but most of these seem to be discontinued or expensive overkill, so I hope a USB 2.0 will suffice. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

HELP....need a good sound card that works with Windows 7 64 bit

I've searched the internet and I'm seeing that folks are struggling with getting sound cards to work with Windows 7 (particularly the 64 bit systems). I know there are stability issues with the 64 bit system but I'm looking to install a decent sound card to improve stereo sound from my HP Pavilion (h8-1260t). The onboard sound is OK, but I'm looking for higher fidelity and the shortcomings of the stock sound chip is noticeable when played through my hi fi system. Don't really need 'surround sound' (I'm not a gamer) but I'm assuming any card that comes with this feature will also produce a quality stereo signal. I also like to archive music from steaming sources and have found a significant loss of sound quality once the track is saved. I'm assuming a good sound card will help with this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Spauld, welcome to the forum.
I suggest finding a sound card that you like and contacting the manufacturer's Customer Service to assure its compatibility with Win7 64-bit. They are the experts on their products. While I am not a fan of dedicated sound cards because their drivers are conflict prone, I would buy a Creative Soundblaster. They have been proven over time.

Yes, DDL works with EAX. That's probably you're best solution. You could either get a Titanium or Prelude, which both come with DDL.
Alternati'vely OEM Xtreme Music and Xtreme Gamer (SB077x series) cards often have optical ports. You could get one of these and add the DDL Pack from Creative (about $5 American). That can work out cheaper than a Titanium or Prelude.
Creative sell a flexijack adaptor giving optical out ports. That will work with most X-Fi models.
If you play a lot of games I would skip the Audigy series and the X-fi Xtreme Audio.

Have you removed the sound card driver via control panel and let Win7 reinstall?

Need a 5.1 Sound Card to run with my Logitech Z-5500 speaker sys

Hi everyone,
I would to pick your brains a little please
I have got the Logitech Z-5500 Digital 5. Speaker System.
I would like to purchase a sound card to run with the system but was unsure on what card to get. I obviously need a 5. card, right? So will I need an X-FI or an Audigy? This is where I am getting confused, I got told that the X-FI's are 7. and the Audigy's are 5., I'm not sure if this is true?
Would someone be able to recommend a compatible card please? I have a budget of about ?00 (GBP) or 'about' $90 (USD).
I would like a card that's good for music, games and to watch movies.
Any replies would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advanced,
Tulsi

My fault Catherina, sorry.
Jo6Pak - Thx for your reply and suggestions.
Reihead - Thx again for yours too and your right, those speakers deserve a quality card.
I've got some good news One of my friends has the X-FI Extreme Music card and has let me borrow it in exchange to borrow my PS2 lol just so I can test it out. The good news is that it seems to work!
So far there has been no issues with the card what so ever! I was quite surprised after reading other users comments about the crackling and popping issues with mainly the nForce 4 chipset mobos.
The sound is awesome compared to before Just played Counter Strike for a while to test things out and WOW!!! No issues just quality sound! If I don't get issues with the card, I'll buy it, definitely worth it.
I do have about half of my services disabled and have some personal reg tweaks n things. Maybe that's a benefit. Could also be the x64 bit version of Windows... who knows!
Still early days... I 'could' still get crackling and popping sounds after a while, only time will tell.
I will keep this thread updated with my progress or non progress lol.
Thanks

What sound cards work?

I have been trying to get multimedia working on my arch machine; I finally gave up on the on-board sound and bought a SoundBlaster, which I read worked in other machines. Unfortunately, I got the SoundBlaster Live 24 bit, which, while supported under ALSA (theoretically), sounds like garbage.
I've done a fair amount of Googling, but people seem reluctant to say that any particular card works well. Since there's a lot of "it depends on what you are using it for", I'm wondering if any sound cards actually work well under Linux.
If you play DVDs or other movies on your Arch machine;
1. What sound card are you using;
2. What applications do you use it with;
3. Are you generally satisfied with the sound;
4. What aren't you satisfied with?
I'm hoping for better info before I part with more $$$. Thanks in advance.

Good morning tmadhavan,

nggalai I'm sure we've had this problem and discussion before, but how on earth do you get surround sound with that module?
I'm using cs46xx as well, can't get surround. I even went out and bought a SB, only to find it was the 24bit version which is effectively useless.
Are you using any special scripts or .asoundrc files or anything?
Well, I only get surround sound with Xine--all other applications (including totem, which should use the xine-libs) stick with two-channel sound. In Xine, it's as easy as selecting 4.1 from the speakers dropdown; don't forget to un-mute PCM1 and the surround channels in alsamixer, and that's that. I didn't change anything in the alsa scripts or alsa module for the kernel.
Mind, this only works for Dolby Digital 5.1 DVD. Dolby Surround will stick to two channels as Xine doesn't come with a Dolby Surround decoder for copyright reasons (at least it seems so).

What sound card (or onboard sound chip) is used on the Mac Pro?

What sound card is used or onboard sound chip?
is the sound quality great/good/ok/bad?

The only info I found is: "RealTek - Intel High Definition Audio (Internal)"
I will look on the web for more info.
Why are you looking for this info? There are not drivers for the Mac and if you plan to use Bootcamp, it comes with all the drivers needed.
The sound definition is very good, think of all the people who use Mac's in the music world with GarageBand or Logicpro etc...

What graphics card is compatable with my presario sr1710nx pc.

What graphics card is compatable with my presario sr1710nx pc? The current one died and I get nothing on my monitor and I tried connecting another monitor and still nothing. So I assume it is the grahics card.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi:
That is an old model.
The specs state it has onboard (integrated graphics).
If you are sure it is just the graphics that is kaput (you would know that if you hear Windows boot up and the logon music sounds or something) then...
I would get a used Dell Radeon HD 2400 on eBay which should work just fine for you, but you will need to have a monitor with a DVI connection and a DVI cable.
This is the cheapest one I could find.

I'm having a hard time with my sound blaster z sound card to sync with cs6. Can anyone share with me

I'm having a hard time with Adobe CS6 synching up with my soundcard. Latency settings and other applications are challenging at this time. I had 3.0, but my Windows 7 computer is now "deceased". Please help.

I endorse everything that Steve just said but to try and get you going while you're shopping for an audio interface more suitable for sound work than use as a doorstop, try the following:
Go to the Windows sound control panel and make sure the SB card is selected as the default on both the Recording and Playback tabs. On the advanced menu for both, set the bit depth and sample rate to either 16/44,100 (CD) or 16/48,000 (Video) depending what suits you best. Note that your SB card only works natively at 16/48,000 so anything else involves a conversion that the card hides from you.
Go to the Windows Control panel and, under the sound section, turn off all system sounds (since they can hijack your sound card). Close every other application that may want to use the sound card (internet for example).
In Audition, go to Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware. Set the device class to MME. On the drop down menus set the Default Input and Default Output to be your Soundblaster. On the Master Clock set it for the SB Output (this'll likely be default). Set the latency at around 200ms (you may need to increase this later if your playback stutters--or you can try decreasing it until you get stutter, then take it back up a bit. Set the sample rate to whatever you selected on the Windows Sound Control Panel.
The Soundblaster will likely have installed it's own control menu. Go to this and select Mic or Line as appropriate for the input and whatever you need for the output. I can't be more specific as SB keep changing what they call things.
Hopefully this'll get you going even if it's not the best compromise for quality and latency.

Trying to get my sound card to work with ArchLinux

Okay, let me tell you my problem. I'm still somewhat of a noob when it comes to linux so don't be hard on me . And, yes that's half of my problem, anyways I've got a sound card called the Soundblaster X-FI USB and I've been trying it to get it to work with the alsaconf command which hasn't worked of course Let me point out that whenever I use my backup flashdrive with PuppyLinux it the Alsaconf inside of it see's the card that I'm using and automatically sets it up.. Plus whenever I type the ' cat /proc/asound/cards ' command I get this..
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xefffc000 irq 21
1 [S51 ]: USB-Audio - SB X-Fi Surround 5.1
Creative Technology SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 at usb-0000:00:1d.2-2, full speed
*(The first one being my dead onboard audio)
So please help me out here I really want to have sound again and hey maybe I'll learn something new about linux!

there's some experimental driver that maybe makes it work with alsa, see here:

My card is a USB which isn't compatible with the driver that they include. So no help there ;(. I've loaded Ubuntu recently and it has worked perfectly with my soundcard (Creative X-FI USB Surround 5.1) right out of the box. I personally think there has to be a way to get it to work in Archlinux since it worked in Ubuntu...
Although. I suppose I could just use Ubuntu but I'm more of a fan of Arch. So does anyone have any idea what Ubuntu used as in drivers wise to get my card to work in linux??

Problem vith T61 sound card not regocnized with Windows 7 ultimate

When I try to Install SoundMax, I get the dreaded "The audio driver files do not support your computer hardware" error
I have found other threads with Windows XP but haven't found any with Windows 7
Is there a way to force to install these drivers? or can it be accounted as hardware error?
Windows itself also does not recognize the sound card in any way.
All the updates have been performed and absolutely no hint of available sound card. (Except fot the bluetooth external audio controller)

is this the driver that you're trying to install? does your sound device show up in device manager? is there a yellow tag on it? if this is the one you're trying to install and it won't did you try to manually update the driver from device manager. don't let windows find the driver. point the update to the folder where the driver is.

Sound Card not compatible with WIN 7

I have a Dell 8200 Dimension Desktop (vintage 2002)?that I?ve just upgraded from XP Pro to Win 7. My Turtle Beach sound card no longer works since it is not compatible with Win 7. When I tried to install a non-Dell sound card, I found that the two sockets were not compatible with the Dell cables. I was told that I must have a Dell card since the plugs were proprietory Dell. I was given a Dell part number (38FRH) which supposedly was the card that would work as a replacement, i.e., be compatible with Windows 7. Dell no longer stocks this card since they stop supporting their computers after they are 5 years old.
Can?anyone help me solve my problem?

Which Dell cables? To the speakers? If so, time to change the speakers then.
Also try online such as eBay. Google for "Dell 38FRH". Ignore the Windows 7 drivers links. First few I found were fakes/scams. Scroll down. On the first page there were a couple of sites that carried it.
I would rather change the sound card [get something "modern"] and speakers than continue to use proprietary stuff.
Using Win 7 on an 8 year old system? Yeeesh.
