Question about Tritton AX 720 Dolby Digital Surround Gaming Headset

Hello, I have a question about the AX 720 that I hope someone can answer. I emailed Tritton and I'm not sure they understood what I was asking, so Ill try here. Ok, my question is this, Will I get audio through the headset if my set up is this: My X-BOX 360, my PS3 , and my Direct TV box are all hooked up to my TV via HDMI. My TV has an optical audio output, so if I hook up the AX 720's amp to my TV with the optical cable will I get the audio that is coming from that output into my headset? I'm using the Tritton AX 180's now hooked up almost exactly the same, except instead of the optical out, I'm using the red and white out that is right next to the optical out, and it works perfect. I get full audio from all 3, and the only time I have to change any cables is when I want to chat, but thats rare. I'm looking to upgrade to the 720 because I'm on my 3rd set of broken AX 180's. Ive read several reviews about the 720's and a few of them said that if your TV has an optical output that you can use that, and I hope its true. I hope this question makes sense, and thanks in advance for the help.

@Rockadile: You are totally right about the AX 180's breaking, like I said Im on my 3rd set. Thankfully for the first break it was within the return period, then I made sure to buy the warranty when I got the second. Now that the 3rd has broken in the same exact place Im done with these. The problem is my heads big (wide), and because of this theres extra pressure on the plastic piece that connects to the ear piece. I had to make a custom metal bracket to fix it. What I did was take 2 pieces of flat metal and bent them into the shape and angle of the plastic that attaches the earpiece, then I electrical taped them VERY tight. So basically instead of the plastic getting the stress, the metal does. And it worked great up until now, its breaking just below the adjustable part where the plastic goes into top of the headset. I looked at the AX 720's and it seems like there alot wider and stronger in that area. But if I do get them I will be sure to buy the replacement warranty. Sucks having a big head!

Audio to dolby digital surround AC3

Regards,
I have one test sequence in FCP,,, left channel is sound, and right is speech,, then exported separately to two mono channels,,, named SOUND and SPEECH,, I can hear each channel nice after that,,
But, when I make AC3 file with compressor, I have problem.
Can somebody tell me where I make mistake??
With compressor I make New Job With Surround sound group,, then select for every channel one mono channel, from FCP, specifically; L - speech, C-sound, R -speech, Ls -sound, Rs-sound ,,,

KDL 55W800C Android TV apps not getting 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound

Just bought KDL-55W800C Android TV few days ago. Everything is great except the DD 5.1 surround. I am using optical audio out to a STR-KS360 receiver. I get 5.1 with Telus Cisco CIS430 PVR connected to TV no problem. But when I tried Netflix, Play Movies and USB test MP4 on the TV. They are coming through as 2.0 only. BD connected to TV also only come through as 2.0 only while BD connected to receiver gives 5.1. Is this a known problem? There seem to be similar threads on other models. E.g. https://community.sony.com/t5/4K-Ultra-HD-TV/XBR-75X850C-Netflix-Amazon-dolby-digital-5-1-channel-support/m-p/509054/highlight/true#M4168

That sounds more logical, however, Apple and Netflix are pointing at each other.
The player needs to be compatible with Dolby Digital Plus, so that would ultimately put the responsibility on Apple. However, DDP for streaming 5.1 surround sound from the Internet is relatively new, so it doesn't surprise me that the ATV doesn't currently support it, but I would expect Apple to release a software update for it at some point.

Dolby Digital Surround Sound dropping out with channel chang

Currently I have my cable box hooked up to my extrenal I/O box for my Audigy Platinum Pro ZS2 via my cable boxes SPDIF optical out to the I/O boxes optical in. With my initial set up I went to the AudioHQ and changed my Device Controls/Digital Input controls to SPDIF (Dolby Digital/DTS SPDIF-In Decode) and I had beautiful surround sound, but the only problem is that when I change the channel I lose all sound and I have to go back to the AudioHQ controls and change the Digital Input setting back to the (Default) setting and then change it back to the SPDIFDolby digital....etc, and then the sound comes back. So why is it that whenever I change the channel I lose my optical connection?and sound?and have to reset my Digital Input settings in order to get the sound back?Somebody please help...thanks. Jacob

No DVD Dolby Digital surround sound in media player or media center in Windows 7

I mirrored my working config from my Vista 32 bit install into my Windows 7 64 bit install and a Windows 7 32 bit install, but can't get the Dolby Digital SPDIF coax output to work (just get static) in my Windows 7 install when playing a DVD.
Notes:
- Both Vista and Windows 7 are on the same PC, but on different partitions of the same hard drive.
- standard stereo output works fine in Windows 7
- Dolby Digital and DTS do work in Windows 7, but only in the Sound config window, not in any program.
I have the latest Creative Audigy 2 ZS Soundblaster Windows 7 drivers installed (Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series driver 2.18.0011).
Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the Dolby Digital / DTS output to work Windows 7 when playing a DVD?
MY PC SPECS:
CPU : Intel® Pentium® D 820 Processor (Dual-Core)64-bit processor with Intel® EM64T Technology. Each core operates at 2.80GHz | 2 x 1MB L2 cache | 800MHz FSB

Few questions about nokia lumia 720...

I recently bought a Nokia Lumia 720 and have a few questions I would like answering...
Why do we need to link our phone to a microsoft account? What if you dont want to link your email and your phone contacts? My phone is now full of useless numbers of people I havent spoken to\want to speak to.
Where do I report bugs that I find with the phone? I have found a few.
Why cant I sign into Skype without linking to a microsoft account too? [same issue as before]
It would also be good if we could assign custom ring tones... I thought this would have been a standard feature.
Sorry for the moan...
Jimmy

As I said, you can either set up a separate MS account just for the phone or you can filter you contacts under People > Settings > Filter contact lists so that you see only the ones you want to see. Linking to a cloud account is extremely useful for keeping a backup and for restoring the phone if you lose, change or simpley have to hard reset it. A friend lost his Lumia while travelling abroad, bought a new one on the spot, found a free wifi network and had all his contacts, messages and apps installed and running within half an hour.
I don't understand your last point - if you mean restart the phone when it is frozen for any reason, that can be done by holding both the Power and Volume Down button pressed for maybe 10-15 seconds until the phone vibrates and restarts. That is usually called a soft reset and you do not lose any settings or data except the date and time settings which you need to set again manually. Otherwise you can simply turn the phone Off and On by holding the Power button pressed.

Question about Imported AVI movies from Digital Cameras

Hi
I use a Canon "Ixus" series digital camera., the video clips on this camera are AVI (Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions).,
My problem is saving edits i do to these video clips in the in the same original format when opening them in QT, unlike photos Qt makes you save AS instead of saving modifications to the original file.
Again, if Qt does not allow you to save the edits to the clip itself but rather asks you what you want to save it as, and i can not find the same exact QT which is "AVI" (Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions)., then what is the correct format to avoid any loss in quality?
Can anyone advise?

i just have to rotate these clips, they where shot sideways.
I understand - however, video is a horizontal format; when you rotate your file 90 degrees either the 640 vertical dimension must shrink to 480 pixels which will leave black borders on each side of the image or you expand the 480 horizontal dimension of your clip to 640 pixels and you crop of the top and bottom of your image.
Here is how to do it: How can I rotate rectangular pixel DV material 90° while maintaining the correct aspect ratio and interlacing? at http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/SVCDon_a_Macintosh.html#vert-horizrotate
Good luck.

# Hey guys! Any updates on this? I also have SB Titanium Pro PCIex card and digital-in works only in stereo mode. There's no "decode" tab in creative audio console.
Looks like Creative forgot about us, the Titanium card owners.
I need to decode Dolby Digital 5. from my Xbox360 through digital-in to analog speakers on Windows 7 x64. Any help is appreciated

Dolby Digital Settings

With my system, if Dolby Digital is set to "On" in settings, I don't get any sound at all from Rented or Purchased movies from iTunes - however, I do get sound from Netflix, Youtube, iTunes music, etc.
Sound works in iTunes material if Dolby Digital is set to "Off" or "Auto."
I'm worried, however, that if a Movie is Streaming with Dolby Digital, the sound should be working when the Audio Setting is "On." Am I just getting stereo audio if the Dolby Digital setting is "Auto?"
Currently I am only running the HDMI Cable to the TV - no Optical Audio out or anything.
John

I think it's probably similar to my issue here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17926593#17926593
Rentals generally have either 1 or 2 audio tracks.
The first is stereo (occasionally mono), the second is the dolby digital surround.
I connect to the TV via HDMI and to the surround processor via optical.
In the past I'm sure I've managed to have sound from the TV (HDMI) or surround processor (optical Dolby Digital simultaneously).
I think what currently happens is this:
AppleTV 'talks' to the HDMI device and ascertains what it can support. Most TVs will not be able to decode Dolby Digital over HDMI. Receivers/amps with DD capability will.
So when the TV is connected via HDMI, and DD is set to off or Auto the TV gets the stereo feed (Auto selecting stereo as TV can't handle DD).
If however DD is set to On this forces DD through HDMI but the TV doesn't know what to do with it.
So in my situation I can either have it set for stereo audio over HDMI (Off or Auto) and optical, or DD over both (DD set to On.
Clearly I want the stereo track to go to the TV over HDMI and DD over optical (falling back to stereo if no DD track) so I don't have to fiddle in Settings each time I choose to listen through TV vs surround system.

Dolby digital through HDMI

I have a 2012 MacBook Pro with retina display. I'm trying to get Dolby digital through the hdmi port and after comparing some media attached to my receiver the same movie was Dolby digital on my WDTV and using the same cable was stereo connected to my MacBook Pro.
I'm not sure if its a setting or an atypical apple thing like they did with the digital stereo connection in headphone jack using a mini fiber optic cable (phoslink).
I suppose if I want to hear Dolby digital out of my Mac, I wondering if I need a thunderbolt to hdmi to get what I want. Dolby digital through HDMI is an industry standard!

After talking to three levels of support, I finally was told the new Macbook Pros (with Retina display) are NOT capable of producing Dolby digital through the HDMI port. They only do digital stereo.
In order to produce up to 8 channels of Dolby digital surround sound you must use an additional toslink cable, which is a mini fiber optic, found cheap at Monoprice!
Just for the record, the expensive Thundebolt to HDMI or mini Display port to HDMI only do stereo too. Not a big deal for most, but upsetting if you're expecting a HDMI to function as it does in any other piece of equiptment!!

Clipping with dolby digital through sp

whenever i use DD though spdif either from an outside source (xbox 360) or from the pc itself (software dvd player) i get clipping. it's as if the DD stream is too loud. is there a way to lower the volume for the DD stream? i've tried lowering the "spdif in" volume control but it becomes frozen when ever an?outside?spdif source (360) is being used and it has no effect on the spdif source?from the pc (software dvd player). when the volume control is frozen the must button is activated but obviously the?volume is not muted.

Dolby Digital 5.1 Sound Delay

Hello to all you knowledgable people in the sound department!
I just hooked up my Koss home entertainment center, which suports Dolby Pro Logic 2, Dolby Digital, and other things, but these seem the most important. System Specs in sig. I have the latest Nvidia Audio Drivers.
My problem is whether I am playing music, or a game, or make any sound at all with the computer, it is delayed about a second. I have my speakers hooked up through the optical port on the S bracket. This problem is very annoying playing games, as I shoot a shotgun, and I see the flash, and a second later I hear the boom! I plugged headphones into the standard analog speaker jack on the motherboard.. if I am in a game, and shoot something, I hear it right away in the headphones, and then a second later my set of speakers play it. And of course that goes for any kind of sound, such as music. Interestingly enough, I have found that if I choose "5.1 Speakers" in the Nvidia audio setup thing it is no longer delayed, but it doesnt sound as good. Once I switch it back to "5.1 Speakers (Dolby Digital)" then it is delayed, but sounds better. On my receiver it shows the Dolby Digital icon thing, meaning that's what it isusing rather than Pro Logic 2.
I have searched these forums, the internet, and OCForums with no luck, and this si really driving me crazy!
ANY help is very much appreciated, thanks!

Hi,
Acrobatikdan: Right, played on Doom3 for about an hour (my VGA card's not really up to it, so it's a bit jerky). There was only a very slight difference between what I heard out of my speakers (DD 5.1) and what I was seeing on screen, and wouldn't have been noticeable had I not been looking specifically for it!
So I reckon you do have problems if there's a second delay! As to what that problem is, I have no idea - unhappily!
Sorry I couldn't have been more helpful
Btw, If you do manage to fix it please tell us how, as it may help others in the future!
Here's an interesting page I just found:
http://www.lvcoyote.com/soundstorm.htm
Note this quote from the webpage in the link above above, (although he is talking about another motherboard):
Quote
Dolby Digital audio should be pre-prepared to be reproduced along with the video. With weak CPU resources, you will have the sound lagging behind the picture.
Mind you, I'm only using an XP2400+ and I have no problem!
Frenchy over to you mate - any new ideas?!

What GAMES Are Encoded With Dolby Digital Surrou

I'm trying to find some games to play which have Dolby Digital Surround encoded in their code.

There are NO games encoded with Dolby Digital Surround. At least none that I am aware of. You need a sound card that performs Dolby Digital Encoding, and Creative Labs does not producr such a sound card, although they ave just release an external device that has 5. analog inputs and will encode that into Dolby Digital Surround format. Why they did that instead of putting on the sound card, I do not know or understand.

Hello,?
My cat jumped off my?[url="http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/5789-6-sound-blaster-arena-surround-gaming-headset-broken#">computer[/url]?desk while I was wearing my?[url="http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/5789-6-sound-blaster-arena-surround-gaming-headset-broken#">headphones[/url]. The result was the wires separating from the USB end. They are quite distinguishable and not impossible to solder. However knowing which wire corresponds to which solder point is beyond me. I contacted Creative. They will not help me. If anyone has a Sound Blaster Arena Surround USB Gaming Headset and would be willing to open up the plastic housing on the USB end to tell me what goes where I would greatly appreciate it. Also the plastic housing will go back together. If any additional info is necessary, please inquire.

Question about Dolby Digital 5.1 in Soundtrack Pro 3

Hi folks,
I am pretty confused in regards to using Soundtrack Pro 3 to create and export a AC-3 dolby digital 5.1 file to be used in burning a Blu Ray DVD using Toast Titanium 11. I admit that overall I am somewhat Final Cut Studio savy but for the life of me I cannot find reliable and understandable tutorials re: the dolby digital thing. I am hoping that there are people out there who will be patient with my admitted ignorance
So, what I am working on?
107 minute feature documentary film edited using FCP 7 with 65 tracks of audio mixed down (using STP3) to six (1 & 2 dedicated to Voice, 3 & 4 dedicated to sfx and ambient sounds, 5 & 6 dedicated to music.)
What do I want to do?
My film is going be to be screened at a festival next month and so I want to burn a blu ray disc (using Toast Titanium 11) with AC-3 Dolby digital 5.1 audio as apposed to 2 channel stereo.
What I don't understand?
I'm not entirely sure how the Dolby 5.1 export using STP3 works. My questions are:
Will it take a 2 channel stereo final mix and convert and export it so that it will be a Dolby Digital? If so, what about the 6 channels of audio that I mentioned before. Is it better to mix those 6 down to 2 before doing the Dolby 5.1 export?
If so, what if the theatre equipment (or any home dvd player) is not able to play Dolby 5.1? Will it then play the Blu Ray in 2 channel stereo or will there be issues?
Is there a 'standard' Dolby Digital setup when having to choose the 'Audio Coding Mode?'
And/or:
What settings would you suggest for very high quality Blu Ray export?
Anyways, I know there is a helluva lot of questions there but I obviously wanna get this right. Huge thanks in advance to any advice/suggestions you can give.
Cheers!

HI,
briefly from what comes to mind is;
your tracks need to be assigned via the Surround Sound Panner options, either or both in the tracks and submixes. Read about Surround Sound in Soundtrack Pro and also the effect options via the sound design reverberation. (The latter can create surround from a stereo submix as well )
The next chapter is the export option. FILE>EXPORT
The master can be optionally exported in Dolby surround AC-3 with a number of options you need to set in this window.
Then burning is the next chapter. I trust Toast can manage but have not tried yet.
When burning to Blue Ray one actually should use full resolution PCM files WAV format for highest quality
Audio Surround Sound. The Export then would need to be uncompressed from your final STP mix in single mono files (which is an option in STP ) and then imported into a special burning program.....
THese are my 2 cents in general.
