ATV3 - I need to enable dolby digital for optical surround sound (netflix and home movies), but when I do this it stops audio coming through TV speakers

I have a cinema sound receiver connected to Apple TV via optical cable. When I have dolby digital set to Auto it doesn't come through as dolby digital when watching movies on netflix and iTunes (home movies).
If I set Dolby Digital to ON it works as expected, but the sound stops working through normal TV speakers (via HDMI). This is the same for netflix and home movies.
I tried 16 bit setting, but it made no difference.
Any advice on how I can get this working - meaning Dolby Digital always on for when I turn my surround sound on and sound through speakers for normal operation?
Obviously I can change the setting when needed, its just a pain.
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,
here is the friendly and signed driver installation method to enable Dolby Digital Plus in your Encore internal speakers only. This is not an official driver, there is no control panel for Dolby Digital Plus or various sound effects, but tested and has much better and richer surround sound quality as before with factory driver. I guess, this driver tweak can work with any Bay Trail tablet also.
How can you upgrade Encore sound drivers:
1. Download signed driver package and extract.
2. Open Device Manager.
3. Upgrade your Sound, Video and game controllers
- Intel SST Audio Device
- Realtek I2S Audio Codec
one by one with "Have a disk" method.
4. Double click enabledolby.reg file and add to your registry.
5. Restart, and enjoy better sound quality.
Thanks.
UPDATE: Official Toshiba Dolby Digital leaked, official driver attached: ToshibaDolby.zip

How to get Dolby Digital from ATV2 and iTunes Movies??

I have an ATV2 hooked up to my Denon 789 AVR via optical cable, and the HDMI hooked directy to my HTDV. My Denon is receiving the signal apparently as a PCM and thus, only receiving 2 channel. When I stream an iTunes movie from my ATV2, I only get Dolby Pro Logic II, and not Dolby Digital. When I go into the ATV2 settings and under Audio and Video set Dolby Digital from "Auto" to "On", I don't get any sound on my Denon 1910. Any idea what's going on?

How to play Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack in a movie with iTunes (PC)?

I can't play Transformers: Dark of the Moon with Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack. It's simply greyed out, I can choose English Stereo and Hungarian Stereo. I played with the settings, but no luck. I don't know it's hardware related or else, I even try QuickTime, but it doesn't even play audio or video, just grey window.
My PC:
Windows7 32 bit Home Premium
Pentium E5300
2 GB RAM
Geforce GT 440
ASUS Xonar DSX
Genius SW-HF5.1 4500

Hi MW
I have checked User s manuals for F10-140 and on page 32 I have found this:
HEADPHONE (S/PDIF) JACK This jack lets you connect peakers or stereo headphones (16 ohm minimum). When you connect a speaker or headphones, the internal speakers are automatically disabled.
This jack can be used also as S/PDIF jack and enables connection of optical digital correspondence apparatus.

Is there only certain channels on sky that now produce the dolby digital. On my prev tv I had surround sound with all of the channels. This new tv is a 3D smart tv. Thanks any help would be much appreciated.

How to encode Dolby Digital (AC3) 24 bit

I noticed that all my dolby digital setings in Compressor are in 16 bit. Is there a way to have them set on 24 bit. In A.Pack, you could encode the audio in 24 bit.

I could be misunderstanding something, but I've been reading Apple's whitepaper to make sure of the details.
"48 bit" is unclear, because it could mean 12x4 or 16x3. Both combinations are impossible with ProRes 422.

How to enable ecoute, after purchasing ITunes Match???????

iTunes never mentioned the fact that if you purchase ITunes Match you can not take advantage of some other applications, such as Ecoute, which I purchased and love. ITunes will not delete ITune Match, as I prefer Ecoute. There is no written statement that ITunes Match negates several other Apps, and after writing to them about this problem, I received a negative and nasty reply.

how can I unsubscribe from itunes match?

No SPDIF passthrough when Dolby Digital Live is enabled?

Hello,
I have SB Audigy 2 ZS and Logitech Z-5500 speakers connected digitally and I am using Win XP SP3.
I bought Dolby Digital Li've Pack and I have a problem with not getting SPDIF Passthrough for DTS audio.
Before I enabled DDL, when I played back content with DTS-encoded audio, audio was passed through SPDIF to the decoder in Logitech speakers and the DTS logo would appear on the display of Z-5500 console. And decoding chain from AC3Filter would look like this:
Decoding chain:
(DTS - 48000) -> Spdifer -> (SPDIF 3/2. (5.) 48000) -> Dejitter -> (SPDIF 3/2. (5.) 48000)
And there is also information: "SPDIF status: SPDIF passthrough"
This is straightforward - DTS audio stream goes to SPDIF output.
Of course this would only work if I chose SPDIF Passthrough option in Decoder tab of Audio console.
But after I enabled Dolby Digital Li've and played back DTS stream, the DTS logo would no longer appear on the console, which meant that the SPDIF passthrough was not working, despite the fact that it was still enabled in the drivers. For contrast, the Decoding chain for DTS after I turned on DDL looks like this:
(DTS - 48000) -> Decoder -> (Linear PCM 3/2. (5.) 48000) -> Processor -> (PCM24 3/2. (5.) 48000) -> Dejitter -> (PCM24 3/2. (5.) 48000)
And there is info: "SPDIF status: Disabled (SPDIF output is not supported)" and info of what is happening under the "processor" stage
Processor:
(Linear PCM 3/2. (5.) 48000) -> Input levels -> (Linear PCM 3/2. (5.) 48000) -> Equalizer -> (Linear PCM 3/2. (5.) 48000) -> SRC -> (Linear PCM 3/2. (5.) 48000) -> Mixer -> (Linear PCM 3/2. (5.) 48000) -> Bass redirection -> (Linear PCM 3/2. (5.) 48000) -> Dither -> (Linear PCM 3/2. (5.) 48000) -> AGC -> (Linear PCM 3/2. (5.) 48000) -> Delay -> (Linear PCM 3/2. (5.) 48000) -> Spectrum -> (Linear PCM 3/2. (5.) 48000) -> Output levels -> (Linear PCM 3/2. (5.) 48000) -> Linear->PCM converter -> (PCM24 3/2. (5.) 48000)
Much, much more steps along the way, which probably means inferior quality and also is in disregard of the SPDIF Passthrough that I had enabled.
Same thing happens when you play "nati've" Dolby Digital stream - instead of being passed through SPDIF to external decoder it is somehow "hijacked" by Dolby Digital Li've and needlessly tampered with.
My question is - how can this be disabled. I understand benefits of Dolby Digital Li've (that's why I bought it) but they stop being benefits when they interfere with legitimate DTS audio which should not be "down-decoded" into Dolby Digita - it should be passed through to the Decoder.
Not to mention that DTS Connect is not supported in Windows XP. "Real" digital DD and DTS streams should? be passed through untoched, and ony converted audio (mp3s, games, etc) should be decoded into DD. Otherwise there's degradation of quality.
The only "benefit" I noticed is that DDL is enabled, the sound is noticably louder, but for increasing loudness I have my volume knob on Z-5500 so I dont need it.
Does that mean that every time I want to listen something nati'vely encoded in DTS od DD I should disable Dolby Digital Li've? I hope there is some other solution to this.

Creative just admitted it is a bug - this is information from the "what was fixed" in the latest version of Creative Console Launcher:
"Unable to select the external decoder option automatically while Dolby Digital Li've or DTS Connect is enabled in the encoder settings."
Will this ever be fixed for Audigy software?

Dolby Digital Live - Not Worki

Hi guys,
I am having a few snags with Dolby Digital Li've. I purchased a Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Titanium Fatalty (Championship Gaming Series) in order to convert audio to Dolby Digital Li've and send it to my home cinema amp. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to get it to work
I have enabled Dolby Digital Live in the 'Encoder' tab in the Creatiev Audio Console and I have set SPDIF out as the default in Windows Vista Control Panel. The SPDIF output is listed there as 'working' but when I ask it to do a test an error just comes up 'Failed to play test tone'. Interestingly if I try to play a video or audio in Windows Media Player that crashes - I don't get any sound at all.
Games play but with no sound. Set the default back to the Speakers and all is well.
Anyone know how to solve this Am I missing something obvious
My system is:
- Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme Edition QX6700 "LGA775 Kentsfield" 2.66GHz (066FSB)
- Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator DHX PC2-6400C4 TwinX (2xGB)
- Gigabyte GA_P35_DQ6 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2
- Seagate 600W
- Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Titanium Fatalty
- XFX 8800 Ultra Extreme 768MB GDDR3 DVI HDTV Out PCI-E
Thanks in advance!

Just as an update I now seem to have the system working 'in game' which is exactly what I wanted. Windows still won't play the test tone and Media Play doesn't like it at all - but Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars works as do a few other games I've tried.

X-Fi XtremeMusic + Win7 64bit + Dolby Digital Live?

I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and X-Fi XtremeMusic. I was wondering if it is possible to enable Dolby Digital Li've on my setup? I have the digital I/O module and use an optical cable to connect the PC to my receiver.
I found this but I don't know if it works on Windows 7...
Dolby Digital Li've and DTS Connect Pack

I know that much.
I purchased the encoder pack so that I could have multichannel audio in games. It works fine. However, where can I download the latest version of the encoder pack. At the end of the purchase I was able to download version 2.00.00, but I think there should be newer version as I've stumbled on people using version 2.00.08 (I think) on different forums.
Also, you could have a LARGE note somewhere that the encoder pack is REQUIRED for multichannel audio in games if using the digital (coax/optical) output to an external receiver. Only thing that is listed is that multichannel PASSTHROUGH audio is supported on the digital output, but that doesn't apply to games. I would have purchased the encoder pack long ago if I had known that it is required. I've been wondering for the past year why I don't have proper multichannel in games, but have been unable to figure out why. I happened to stumble on the solution by mistake during last weekend while researching another problem.

2 issues with X-Fi Titanium software (Dolby Digital related)

These arnt anything major but worth fixing IMO.
1. There is a slightly noticable sound quality drop in nati've Dolby Digital sources when using the "Speakers" as the defualt device compared to using SPDIF in Windows playback devices.
For example I have a movie encoded in Dolby Digital, I use the optical input on my 5. and leave "Speakers" as default device in Windows playerback devices, this way I can add effects such as CMSS3D EQ etc, but leaving EVERYTHING off the SQ is not as good as selecting SPDIF in Playback devices, the major downside though is having SPDIF in windows audio panel bypasses any settings in the creative console.
I realise this may be an issue with Windows rather than Creative.
2. Dolby Digital remains enabled when Headphones is automatically Activated / When Dolby Digital is activated with headphones 5. sound is used but the center, sub and 2 rear channels dont get passed.
I have my entertainment mode set to 5. wich automatically switches to Headphones when I plug them in.
I used Windows playback devices to do a speaker check, this is always set to 5. and the creative console never overrides this.
When I test my headphones with DD off I hear all 6 channels in my headphones, when I enable Dolby Digital I only hear the front left and front right channel, if headphones mode is suppose to be automated it should automatically adjust for Dolby Digital either by disabling it until the headphones are unplugged or to pass all 6 channels to the headphones like it otherwise normally would.

Edit: I now installed the Dolby Digital Live drivers, that were hidden on the download page until I pressed "All".
The DDL option now appears under "Encoder", but still there's not sound coming through.
