Is creative EVER going to produce a soundcard with Dolby Digital Encodi

It would be really nice if Creative would make a soundcard that included DD Encoding and a real SPDIF output and not ont that only supports AC-3 passthru from DVDs and PCM stereo! Especially since nVidia did it on the old nForce2 MCP-T and C-Media also supports DD Encoding in thier CMI8768 chip used on this card (http://www.bluegears.com/soundcard_xmystique.html). The real killing thing is that now that Realtek now has the HD Realtek ALC880 CODEC for AC-97 sound that does DD-Encoding (http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/products-2.aspx?modelid=2004058) so that motherboards will now be able to have DD Encoding and not the $400 creative card!

Hi Jason,
I do not mean to be difficult but, as I stated in my original post, I have an SB0220, and that driver would not install. It reports that it cannot detect any Sound Blaster audio card on my system, even though Creative Diagnostics (the version installed from the cd) reports that everything is installed and working correctly (passed all tests), and the setup program on the original install cd works without any problems. This would seem to indicate to me that your information source is wrong.
In any case, that is not the point of my post. The point is that this card (and other SB022x models) should be included. It does not necessarly have to be in it's own category (although it would make it much easier to find the correct software/drivers/documentation if it was), but it should be included somewhere. Even if the link brings you to a page that says that currently there are no available updates for this card, it should be included. Currently, the documentation for this card is not even available for download. I can understand there not being any driver updates as of yet, but if nothing else, the documentation should be avaialble.

  • Notebook soundcard with dolby digital live

    Hello,
    I'm searching everywhere for a soundcard with dd li've output. My current USB x-fi surround 5. doesn't have that.
    I've found the Audigy 2 ZS PCMCIA (but my laptop only has an expresscard slot).
    So then I found the SB X-FI Xtreme Audio Notebook as an express card. Does that allow dd li've?
    Does Creative offer a laptop soundcard with dd li've support?
    Thanks

  • Creative ever going to make SPDIF onbo

    I just wanted to see if there are others like me who would like to see cards with SPDIF built onboard. I used to have a creative audigy gamer in my computer but then I upgraded my speaker system to the Z5500 which has a SPDIF connection. I am now using the SPDIF connection that comes with my motherboard and won't upgrade until creative comes out with a sound card that has it built onboard. If motherboard manufactures are able to build it onboard why does creative have to have theirs on a seperate unit... I don't need something else filling up my desk... Just want to see how many people also want to see a card with SPDIF built onto it and not a seperate unit.

    uhhhhh. Creative card have SPDIF output and that for a long time now. I suppose you talk about optical connection. Then why don't you use SPDIF coaxial to connect your sound card to your speakers?

  • Is Premiere CS6 ever going to be fully compatible with AVCHD 25PF?

    After doing research, I have found that the only stable way to edit AVCHD-files from my Canon C100 is to use a 1080p timeline and interpret the footage, conforming it to "No fields, progressive" rather than leaving it as is. Then I must TURN OFF the Mercury Playback Engine(a real time saver at times), to do my editing in a stable way, without interlacing artefacts.
    Can Premiere in the future have better support for C100-media? Or rather, AVCHD 25PF media in general. So you don't have to conform the media after importing, and so that you can use all the benifits of the MPE, without getting artefacts and/or general bugs.
    Is there work going on at Adobe for better implementation of this type of media? Or are Adobe only blaming Canon for using a "non-standard" codec? =)

  • Are you ever going to fix the "You've been signed out" problem?

    I've gone through forums and your trouble shooting page and I've found a lot of angry customers over thus Creative Cloud "You've been signed out" problem. Fortunately for me, I'm not a customer. I installed it so I could download a trial or premiere with the intention to buy, but now I don't need the trial because this is issue has made up my mind. But I am still curious if you're ever going to fix it?

  • Are Adobe EVER going to make Edge Animate scale-to-fit (like Flash)?

    I've been following the progress of Edge Animate (formerly Edge) ever since Steve Jobs decided he wasn't having Flash on the iPad.
    With each new version I've been desperately looking for the feature that I consider the most important of all: Scale-to-fit
    There are a couple of discussions already on this forum where people have requested this feature - but both have been sidetracked by replies from people who haven't understood what 'scale-to-fit' is. So let me explain Scale-to-fit:
    I'm talking about the feature in Flash - where if the HTML dimensions are set to 'Percent' - then the resultant movie will scale-to-fit any browser window. Here is an example of what I mean:
    http://www.skippingschool.co.uk
    - try changing the browser size and you'll see the whole frame (graphics and images) scales without changing its proportions.
    When the latest version of Edge Animate came out with its built-in easy-to-follow 'Resize' Lesson, I thought Adobe had finally found an answer. But good though this feature is, it doesn't solve the problem. It's only possible to properly scale-to-fit images - not graphics.
    It's now more important than ever that Adobe finds a solution to this problem. The world is going 'Responsive' - its not just a fad. And 'Responsive' is not just about three columns being squeezed into one. All Responsive sites require images, graphics AND animations to scale-to-fit. So Adobe's tutorial showing how Edge Animate can be added to WordPress sites is of limited use because it won't work for Responsive web sites.
    So please Adobe, will someone tell me if scale-to-fit is EVER going to happen? I don't mind if it's 3 months, 6 months, 9 months down the line - but I need to know if it's worth me sticking with Edge Animate - or whether I should be looking toward HTML5 Canvas or something else for a solution?
    Alternatively, is there some fundamental reason why it can NEVER happen?
    Please tell me? Just put me out of my misery!

    Hi Sarah,
    I hope you don't mind but I played around with your code a bit and managed to get the kind of scale-to-fit behavior that I believe the OP was asking about.  I think the trick is to make sure that you also check whether the scaled height of the stage exceeds the height of the browser window and change the scaling so that it is responsive to changes in both the width and height of the window, whichever is the limiting factor. The code I changed in CompositionReady appears in bold below.  I hope this helps.
    sym.$("#Stage").css({ // Set the transform origin so we always scale to the top left corner of the stage
    "transform-origin":"0 0",
    "-ms-transform-origin":"0 0",
    "-webkit-transform-origin":"0 0",
    "-moz-transform-origin":"0 0",
    "-o-transform-origin":"0 0"
    function scaleStage() {
        var stage = sym.$('Stage'); // Set a reusable variable to reference the stage
        var parent = sym.$('Stage').parent(); // Set a reusable variable to reference the parent container of the stage
        var parentWidth = stage.parent().width(); // Get the parent of the stage width
        var parentHeight = $(window).height(); // Get the browser window height
        var stageWidth = stage.width(); // Get the stage width
        var stageHeight = stage.height(); // Get the stage height
        var desiredWidth = Math.round(parentWidth * 1); // Set the new width of the stage as it scales
        var desiredHeight = Math.round(parentHeight * 1); // Set the new height of the stage as it scales
        var rescaleWidth = (desiredWidth / stageWidth); // Set a variable to calculate the new width of the stage as it scales
        var rescaleHeight = (desiredHeight / stageHeight); // Set a variable to calculate the new height of the stage as it scales
        var rescale = rescaleWidth;
        if (stageHeight * rescale > desiredHeight) // Do not scale larger than the height of the browser window
                        rescale = rescaleHeight;
    // Rescale the stage!
               stage.css('transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
         stage.css(  '-o-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
               stage.css('-ms-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
         stage.css('-webkit-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
               stage.css('-moz-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
         stage.css('-o-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
               parent.height(stageHeight * rescale); // Reset the height of the parent container so the objects below it will reflow as the height adjusts
    // Make it happen when the browser resizes
    $(window).on('resize', function(){
               scaleStage();
    // Make it happen when the page first loads
    $(document).ready(function(){
        scaleStage();

  • Give it to us straight creative, will we EVER see Dolby Digital or D

    I have had enough of the waiting for new drivers to come out for any of the creative sound cards that decode dolby digital and DTS. All of us Sound Blaster card owners deserve to know if out cards will ever get this ENTRY LEVEL feature in our hardware again. I need to start upgrading my system and i need to know that if i go with the top of the line X-FI card with X-RAM, it will get dolby functionality soon. If not, i am willing to forgo the X-RAM and go with a competitor card that does everything under vista without problems, albeit with lower versions of EAX. So come on creative, let me have it, hit me and all the other creative soundblaster owners with the truth. do i keep my hopes up of dolby digital decoding under vista, or do i go elswhere?

    For Serious ! Creative has really dropped the ball on Vista support. Not being to integrate my PC speakers with my entertainment system as I had with XP is mighty annoying. It's strange that the?Creative beta drivers?would decode anything I could throw at it. Then all of a sudden?the so called release drivers mysteriously loose this ability. This points directly to the fact that this is not a technical issue but?one of?licensing.Message Edited by soundfire on 05-08-200706:50 PM

  • Audiobook problem ever going to be solved?

    Is the problem with the audiobook folder ever going to be solved? The one where you can't get the audiobook file into the audiobook folder, no matter what you do? (Including converting, deleting, copying into different folder, and moving back to iTunes several times.)
    This is getting to be really annoying.
    Is there any way to re-arrange the files manually? Is there ever going to be an update for iTunes that manages it?

    Browser Dog, Amy,
    The default font remains Myriad Pro until you change it, either in the RGB/CMYK Startup files or in the preferences, options depending on versions.
    Concerning missing font names, I believe this may solve it:
    Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.

  • Is Cisco ever going to address the fact the E1200 does not support Wireless-N speeds at all!

    When is Cisco ever going to address despite the touted speeds on their product packaging and what they claim wherever they sell the product that the E1200 with latest or earlier firmwares do not support Wireless-N speeds and usually gets under 1Mbps which is ridiculous?
    Why is Cisco still selling this inferior product if they know it doesn't work and they have not patched it?

    Extremely high volumes of connections can affect the speed of your own Internet connection. Did you already verify the connection straight to the modem? If that is working fine, then I firmly believed router is the issue here. Well there is lot of factors affecting slow speed with the router, that maybe cause by a corrupted firmware. BTW, what’s the version number of this router? If it’s already on the latest firmware, what I can suggest is to reset and reconfigure this device. You might as well disable WMM (it’s recommended for version 2 having this issue). My friend and I fix her problem with version when we disable WMM.
