PS2 - Live! DE + Digital I/O 2 + Computer = decode Dolby Pro Logic II?

Question

Greetings,
I am a joiner of this forum but a long time user of Creative Sound Cards
since Creative Sound Blaser 2.0
I have a CT4760 + CT4770 and... a PS2.
I wonder if I can use a computer to decode Dolby Pro Logic II
from the signal of PS2 game via optical out to
Digital I/O 2 Optical In to computer to decode Pro Logic II
and output to some Creative 5.1 Speaker for example, DTT2500
or even Inspire 5700 (which doesn't decode Pro Logic II but DTS )
Any clue or solution from any experience user except buying DDTS-100
or some home theater solution with Optical In and Optical Input?

Answer 1

When the pro logic option is selected in the audio options, you should hear sound from the centre and rear speakers when playing just stereo sounds like music. I think Pro Logic is usually a hardware thing, but perhaps it can be implemented in software too. I think Creative should replace the CMSS button with a Pro Logic II button, as they do a similar thing. Although this would probably make the soundcards more expensi've due to the extra cost of including the Pro Logic II chips.
Actually, I have just read the post "<SPAN class=navbartext><SPAN><SPAN class=navbartext><SPAN>How to enable sound for my center, rear and sides speakers?", it says CMSS works well with pro logic material, so you could try that with your games. Also, the Audigy 4 is compatible with DTS Neo: 6, which is DTS's answer to Dolby Pro Logic II. Having never used Neo: 6, I don't know how it would sound with Dolby PL2 games, or whether it would work at all, but it might be worth having a go .<SPAN>
