Problem playing DTS audio CD's with a Audigy 2 ZS in Vista

I have set up a dual boot between Windows XP?and Windows Vista Ultimate x64. I have connected my Creative Audigy 2 ZS through the SPDIF digital output to my amplifier. In Windows XP I can play DTS audio CD's without any problem through the Creative Mediasource 5 Player. In Windows Vista Ultimate x64 I tried playing DTS audio CD's through Creative Mediasource 5 and all I get is silence. In Windows Vista Media Center I just get distorted noise when playing a DTS audio CD's. Playing DTS DVD's works perfectly. I am using the latest XiFi drivers, which are a great improvement over the current release of the?Audigy 2 ZS drivers. According to me the problem with DTS audio CD's has something to do with the sample rate setting of the SPDIF digital output. For DTS audio CD's the sample rate?is 4400 Hz while for DVD's the sample rate is 48000 Hz. If the sample rate for DTS audio CD's is upsampled from 4400 Hz to 48000 Hz my amplifier does nog recognize the DTS signal anymore and is not able to decode the signal properly which results in distorted noise. Has anyone got any ideas how to force the sample rate for the SPDIF digital out to 4400 Hz for DTS audio CD's? Now I have to boot to Windows XP to play DTS audio CD's, which is not very convenient as I now use Windows Vista for everything else.Message Edited by TheRedDevil on 08--200705:5 PM

  • Creative Zen 32GB "There is a problem playing this audio" AAC

    GCreative Zen 32GB "There is a problem playing this audio" AACZ All right, this is driving me nuts. I have a Zen 32GB and a Vista 32-bit machine. I have been encountering a lot of problems playing AAC files on my Zen--many of the tracks stop short, and the error message "There is a problem playing this audio" appears.
    These are AAC files that I ripped off my own CDs using iTunes, so there are no DRM issues. ? I'm not sure if the problem lies in the actual ripping process (although the problem tracks play on my iPod without problem), the importing into my Zen using Zen Media Explorer, or my Zen trying to play the tracks. I've tried turning off my antivirus program, as well as checking the box in iTunes that double-checks for audio errors after ripping. I thought at first that it could be related to scratched CDs, but it also happens with pristine CDs.
    I have latest firmware (.2.03) installed, and also the latest version of Zen Media Explorer.
    I've searched this forum as well as Google for this exact error message, and don't get any related hits. Can anyone out there help me? Please?

    Thanks for that response--I was beginning to feel a little neglected. It's disappointing, though--one of the reasons I bought the Zen was because it advertised AAC compatibility, so that I could have just one library of AAC files for my iPod and Zen, instead of entirely duplicate libraries of AAC and WMA files. Most of the AAC files I've imported into the Zen play fine--I just have to check all of the tracks to see which ones have that audio error. Usually, if I re-import the track, it comes out fine (eventually).

  • Problems using M Audio Fast Track with Garageband

    According to the blurb, the M Audio Fast Track (USB) 'is class compliant in Mac OSX offering true plug-and-play operation. Just plug in, and you're ready to start recording'. This is why I bought it, but I am experiencing no end of problems actually getting it to register with Garageband '08.
    The problems are (a) I cannot hear any sound coming 'through' the Fast Track and Garageband (b) I can hear the guitar if I plug the headphones into the Fast Track, but nothing is recorded in Garageband (c) my mic, which is plugged into the line socket intended for guitars because I don't have the larger connection, reports no sound at all.
    Any ideas, or tips to how others have managed to set up this 'plug-and-play' device would be greatly welcomed.

    Did you ever get this to work? I just today bought a Fast Track Pro. I have it hooked to my MBP via USB. I can see in control Panel two inputs:
    M-Audio Fast Track Pro UDB: Line Input
    M-Audio Fast Track Pro UDB: S/PDIF
    Problem is, there is no sound registering on the Input Level on either choose.
    I have the Power On and have tried both Input 1 & 2, bith in stereo and mono mode.
    (Just to be clear, I connect the electric guitar directly to the Fast track pro, correct?)
    I have read the owners manual but it is worthless. I thought this would be easy to set up.
    Also note that GarageBand preferences the Audio Output and Input are selected to Fast Track Pro.
    What am I doing wrong?

  • Problem Playing Burned Audio CDs

    I was wondering if someone could advise me. I have started burning audio CDs using Itunes, and under preferences for Disc Format, I have chosen audio CD. However, when I try playing the burned CD on a stereo, sometimes it won't start playing right away, and some of the songs seem not to be able to play at all.
    Thanks for any help offered.

    Hi,
    I don't know anything about how your setup is plugged into each other,so I'll gracefully and carefully go out on a limb:
    1.The Migraine Audio device,it has sound outputs...yes??? Are these outputs hooked up to any sound-generating devices,like speakers,yes??? If not,that would be one reason why you don't hear anything from the migraine device.
    2.The Core Audio Drivers in Logic,they are configuerd correctly,yes???? They are selecting the Migraine device as the I/O,yes??? If it is not,then you might be recording with the built-in mic,oohh la la,not a good thing.
    3.If you do have spekaers hooked up to the migraine-induceing device,they should be on,and the monitor knob turned to about 10am,so your migraine does not get too loud.
    Did the limb I go out on break,or am i still up on the tree?

  • I can't play my audio cd burned with iTunes on my stereo

    Hi,
    I've tried a few times now to burn an audio cd with songs purchased with iTunes, to play in my car or in my stereo, but even if I choose the "Audio CD" format, the cd won't play.
    Am i doing anything wrong?
    Thanks.

    Mtlangel,
    One other thing. Certain brands can also affect your burning. The brand that is supposed to be the best is Verbatim, but others on here recommend Sony, Maxell, and a few people say Memorex are good.
    Here is a question I asked on different brands of DVD's and CD's awhile ago and the response I got. Just click on the link or paste in your browser if that doesn't work.

  • Audio crackle/pop with new MacBook Pro under Vista

    I just got a brand new MacBook Pro (multi-touch, Penryn cpu) and have used Boot Camp to install Windows Vista on it. Vista installed fine, and then I used the Restore DVDs that came with my MBP to install the drivers. The Device Manager shows that everything is installed.
    All is not well, however. Whenever sound is being output, there are random crackles or pops - sometimes there will only be one every 5 minutes or so, sometimes there are 10 of them right in a row. The only clue I can find is that the Problem Reports And Solutions application in Vista says that there is a "Compatibility issue between Intel 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Controller - 27B9 and Windows Vista." There is no solution offered. I don't know if this problem is directly related to the audio problems, but it seems likely.
    Has anyone else encountered this? Any way to fix this and stop the audio crackles?

    Well after a week and a half of testing and being unsatisfied with choppy audio on my MBP I believe I may have found the answer. The cause lies in the audio API within Vista; there is a specific service (Multimedia Class Scheduler) that adjusts the priority of multimedia applications according to resources available and one of the factors that affects the prioritization is network usage.
    I tried pretty much every Broadcom driver available from HP and Dell to no avail; some reduced the frequency of the pops and crackles but none of them removed it completely.
    I believe the solution lies within several registry keys that control the Multimedia Class Scheduler service. Open up regedit and modify the following keys:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile
    Set NetworkThrottlingIndex and SystemResponsiveness to 10 each (decimal)
    and
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile\Tasks\Audio
    Set SchedulingPriority to High.
    After changing these 2 keys I couldn't here any audible stutter regardless of whichever driver I used. I am currently using v1.96 for the Realtek and 4.170.77.3 for the Broadcom.

  • Problem playing Audio CD (.cda files) on Windows Vista

    Hey,
    I am having problems playing an Audio CD. On XP everything is working fine. On Vista, the files seem to be playing, but I am not getting any sound (playing .wav files for example is also no problem, it's just the cda files from an audio cd).
    This problem does not only occur in my own code, also the JMStudio application produces no sound playing tracks from the cd.
    Is there anything that needs to be configured in Vista in order to make that work?
    Thanks a lot,
    sirpreis

    I should point out there's no such thing as playing a CDA file. CDA files are simply indexing information about where to find the actual track data on the disk.
    My best guess is that Vista's sandbox won't let Java go and fetch the actual audio tracks from the CD, because it's more restrictive than Vistas.
    Other good guesses would including that whatever native code JMF uses to fetch CD audio works in XP but it doesn't work in Vista. That would certainly make sense...
    If JMStudio doesn't work, your code probably wont ever work either. Sorry :-/

    We seem to have a problem playing commercial Blu-Ray disks with the SCCM client installed, it seem that the Microsoft mirror driver breaks the Blu-Ray licensing and disk can not be played? any ideas?

  • DTS Audio playback?

    Is there any way to play DTS audio from a DVD on my mac either through the DVD player or QuickTime?

    Blame Sony yet again for locking people out of their proprietary world.
    As mentioned above VLC plays them. So does MPlayer. But unfortunately, you won't be able to play any DTS audio through Front Row.

  • Problems playing on Windows machines

    Colleagues of mine who are using PCs with Vista are having a problem playing my DVDs created using iDVD on their machines. Vista is telling them they have to pay $15 to upgrade WMP for the DVDs to work. Does anyone know a way around this?

    Not exactly sure what's going on the PC side of the equation as to why Vista would mandate upgrading WMP but you can make the finished iDvd a bit more compatible by simply using Roxio Toast to make a copy. You can do this from the DVD itself or from a disc image made to the desktop.
    Click Here
    If all attempts fail to play in the PC then try making a data DVD in UDF format using Toast. The DVD will likely play fine in most computers but may have issues when using a number of set top DVD Players.
    Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

    I have similar problem, my apple tv which has always worked properly with my Samsung tv will no longer play any audio after the latest 5.1 upgrade. Very frustrating as it was working perfectly before. I am starting to not trust apple upgrades until proven for example ios6 on iPhone with that stupid map app instead of google maps.
    I just want to buy and hear my iTunes music and videos on my apple tv, could before cant now. Thank you apple. Time to pack up the apple tv and start torrenting without the ios-bs.
    Disheartened apple fan.

    Welcome to the  discussion forums.
    Try going to synching in the sources menu on your tv and selecting 'change itunes library', when it gives you the passcode check itunes to see if the tv is showing up as a new device, if so try entering the pass code. It may be that your tv is seeing itunes as a different library because of a recent upgrade.

  • How do you play YouTube audio with the screen off with iPod 5th gen?

    I used to own a 2nd gen iPod touch, which ran on an ios 4.2.1 system, that allowed me to play YouTube with the screen off. Ever since I got iPod 5 which came with ios 7, let's say I am kinda still getting the hang of how everything works. I still would like to play YouTube while the screen is off, but seem to not know how. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? It's running on ios 8, so if you could help me with this, I would gladly appreciate it!

    Hi there, you can download itube, it's in the app store, and that allows you to save youtube videos for offline play. Also, you can play youtube audio with the screen off, even without a third party app. Click on a video. When it's playing, press the lock button. Press it again, to wake the device up. You should see your video on the front of the display, with a play button. Click it, and it will start playing even if the device is off. Hope I helped, ~Samuel.
