Is there a difference between Audigy 2 hardware decoding and DVD/MPEG-2 software decodi

I have a capture card and run my PC as a part time HTPC. The audio and video is analog captured and MPEG-2 encoded by the card.
I have the Nvidia DVD/MPEG-2 decoder set to SPDIF(reciever) so it sends the audio stream directly to the Audigy 2.
When playing any of these recorded shows, the only way I get any surround sound on my 5. speakers is to have CMSS () turned on, and it's ok (but not as good as true DVD quality 5.).
What I am wondering, would there be any difference if I upgraded the Nvidia codec to the platinum version, which does software 5. decoding? Would it do a better job of decoding any Dolby Surround material?

What is difference between Audigy 2 LS and Audigy 2

As topic say what is difference between Audigy 2 LS and Audigy 2 ZS?
I sow Audigy 2 LS in my local store but cant find info on creative.com about it.

Z_unit,
The Audigy 2 ZS is our current top of the line audio card. It supports DTS decoding and is capable of 7. output. I am not aware of an Audigy 2 LS, however we have an Audigy LS which is a 5. capable sound card that is based on our original Audigy's features. Was the card that you were looking at in a retail box or was it in a brown box?

I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for?

I downloaded Mavericks and it won't install. I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for? I never had an administrator password-- I just hit enter and have never had a problem before with previous installations. I'm on an iMac, from 2007, running Mt. Lion (version 10.8.5). I've been looking for other's posts who may be having the same problem, but haven't found any. Can anyone help?

Ugh. The 'no password, no work' thing is a recent Apple development. I ran into it on my system and ended up having to do a clean install on a partition I fully erased.
I suppose, if you have the ability to, go online and look up how to burn a bootable DVD image. Download the 10.8.4 image then use the Disk Utility to make a boot image of it. You'll need a dual-layer DVD or a USB drive (or memory stick at least 8GB) If you've got an optical drive, burn the disk, if you've a USB device, use that.
Then get a pocket drive and copy your important files off the system or let Time Machine do a full backup.
When the backup is done, insert the disk and hold down the C key until the machine boots off of the DVD. At the point you get to the start window, go to the menu and choose the Disk Utility.
In the Disk Utility, reformat the drive. You go to the actual DRIVE (not the Macintosh HD, but the root above it that is the actual hard drive device)
I always do this and *partition* it into several volumes, the benefit being, you can store all of your music, documents and importans stuff on that secondary storage volume you make - it will have it's own index and then the first volume is where you put the OS and it will have it's own index as well. That way, if the OS throws a wobbler and you need to reinstall, you don't lose your data.
Depending on the size of your hard drive, it is good to give your OS partition at least 60GB and optimally 100GB, and the rest for storage.
Name your volumes, use the little box sliders to manually size them or put that number in the size window, select for the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and hit Apply and then the Disk Utility will quickly create your new partitions.
Once finished, quit the Utility and it will return you to the OS installer. Select the volume you want to install to and it should start up and install.
Once the installation is done, you'll get the new machine startup then you MUST put in a password for the computer. Once you're in, and to the desktop, don't bother with any Mountain Lion updates, go right to the App Store and get the Mavericks update and let it install the app to your Applicaitons folder, then do that install.
On a side note, there MAY be a way to make a disk image from the Mavericks application and avoid the entire Mountain Lion step.. I honestly do not know, but a bit of hitting the search engines may find out if there is. I think that if you looked for "make Mavericks boot disk or boot image' you may find something.
Good luck!

Is there a difference between the earphone output and the audio output of the docking connector, or is it in fact the same signal ?

Is there a difference between the earphone output and the audiooutput of the docking connector of the iphone 4, or is it in fact the same signal ?

One basic difference is that the LTE frequencies each is able to operate on are different. After that, it is pretty much the same phone. Others might be able to add to this.

Is there any difference between the commerical product and the Teacher/Student version?

In Adobe Photo Shop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 is there any difference between the commerical product and the Teacher/Student version? I don't remember them having two versions in the past.

Is there a difference? Sure. Will it be noticable? Maybe.
The 9i client will use one of the 9i ODBC drivers. The 8i client will use one of the 8i ODBC drivers. The 9i drivers will generally have more bug fixes & more features than the 8i drivers. It is possible, though rare, that the 9i drivers will fix a bug whose behavior your application was dependent on and/or introduce bugs that were not in the earlier version. Of course, you have to consider the different features of the underlying clients as well-- i.e. a 9.2 Oracle client cannot communicate with a 7.3.4 database, an 8i client doesn't know how to handle data types introduced in 9i (i.e. TIMESTAMP), etc.

It the same phone but you don't have to have data on it if you don't want since they are older phones. We had these phones without data as I didn't think they would be good for surfing the net compared to a smart phone. Mary

As in, how the screen's pixels display colors? No, there shouldn't be any difference.

Is there a difference between a Hot Backup and an Online backup? Aren't these terms interchangeably used? Couldn't find a similair thread in OTN.

They mean same meaning. They are synonyms in Oracle language :)

Is there a difference between apple app store and the mac app store

i keep hearing about the mac app store, is there a difference between that and the regualr app store i use for iphone

Depends upon to whom you are speaking. There is the iTunes Store, sometimes called the App Store, from which Apple vends apps for iPhones, iPads, and iPods. Then there is the Mac App Store, MAS, also sometimes referred to as the App Store rather than the Mac App Store where Apple vends software for Mac computers.

Is there a difference between LR4 full version and the upgrade.

I purchased the upgrade for LR4. I now have LR3. I want to download and install now and them put in the serial number to license it when it arrives. Is there a difference between installing the full version and the upgrade version. I don't want to screw up my catalog or anything else for that matter.

There is no difference and you're actually better off downloading and installing rather than installing a shipped version. The download will likely be newer.

Hi,
Same GPU but more RAM will perform better. You have to make decision before hand, upgrading it is a pain.

Is there a difference between the macbook air and the macbook pro?

i know the specs but are there some differences where you can tell me about??

The differences are pretty obvious if you've read the technical specifications comparison. Which MacBook Pro are you comparing the MacBook Air against? There are additional differences if you're comparing between 13, 15 or 17" models.
The most obvious differences:
Optical Drive
Ethernet port
FireWire port
i5/i7 CPU architecture
Dedicated GPU (15 & 17 MBP)
RAM and HDD upgradeability

Thanks once again.

The new update has a scroll feature on it to make it easier to search for songs on your ipod. It also lets you control the maximum volume your ipod can reach. It has better video quality as well. It lets you play games on your ipod (you have to download them from the Muisc Store)
and thats about it! Have fun with your new ipod!

Is there any difference between a WinNT VI and a Win98 VI?

Hello!
I have been writing a VI using Labview 6.1 on a WinNT machine. When I build it into an application and place it on a machine running the run-time engine and Win98, it doesn't work.
It works fine on the NT machine, but not on the 98 machine. I've read where you should be able to transfer between the different Win versions, so I'm at a loss to explain why there would be any difference in the two.
Thanks,
Dave Neumann

Oops. I guess my question was awfully open-ended wasn't it?
OK, here's the deal.
The VI I created is simply trying to toggle outputs on a digital I/O card. Nothing complicated.
On the WinNT machine, I can toggle the outputs. When I set them high, I see a high voltage from the card. It remains high until I switch it low, when the voltage drops. This is good.
On the Win98 machine, I attempt to toggle the output high, and I hear the click of a relay, and a short current spike, but the voltage does not remain high. When I switch back to low I get no response back at all. The voltage remains low the entire time, with a small impulse jump when I try to set it high.
We assume that the card is switching high, then immediately switching low ag
ain, not holding the high state.
The card on the Win98 machine, however, DOES work with the software included with the card, so we know it can toggle it's outputs.
The Win98 and WinNT machines are nearly identical in their components, with the exception of their OS.
The card I'm attempting to use is a Quatech PXB-32IO/PCI I/O card.
Hope this clears it up a little!
Thanks for the help,
