  • 2 issues with X-Fi Titanium software (Dolby Digital related)

    These arnt anything major but worth fixing IMO.
    1. There is a slightly noticable sound quality drop in nati've Dolby Digital sources when using the "Speakers" as the defualt device compared to using SPDIF in Windows playback devices.
    For example I have a movie encoded in Dolby Digital, I use the optical input on my 5. and leave "Speakers" as default device in Windows playerback devices, this way I can add effects such as CMSS3D EQ etc, but leaving EVERYTHING off the SQ is not as good as selecting SPDIF in Playback devices, the major downside though is having SPDIF in windows audio panel bypasses any settings in the creative console.
    I realise this may be an issue with Windows rather than Creative.
    2. Dolby Digital remains enabled when Headphones is automatically Activated / When Dolby Digital is activated with headphones 5. sound is used but the center, sub and 2 rear channels dont get passed.
    I have my entertainment mode set to 5. wich automatically switches to Headphones when I plug them in.
    I used Windows playback devices to do a speaker check, this is always set to 5. and the creative console never overrides this.
    When I test my headphones with DD off I hear all 6 channels in my headphones, when I enable Dolby Digital I only hear the front left and front right channel, if headphones mode is suppose to be automated it should automatically adjust for Dolby Digital either by disabling it until the headphones are unplugged or to pass all 6 channels to the headphones like it otherwise normally would.

    Edit: I now installed the Dolby Digital Live drivers, that were hidden on the download page until I pressed "All".
    The DDL option now appears under "Encoder", but still there's not sound coming through.

  • DTS Connect / Dolby Digital Live (?)

    $ Hi! I have an SB X-FI Platinum and was wondering if there's any way to enable DTS Connect (or Dolby Digital Li've?) on my card? I have another sound card today and use the DTS Connect to get 5. sound in games and movies that don't have DTS / Dolby Digital sound.. Im using a single Coax SPDIF cable with the newest Beta driver (released 2009-0-29) for Windows 7.

    ( For older Sound Blaster X-Fi cards, to use DTSC/DDL you need to purchase the software here:

  • DTS connect and and Dolby Digital Live Authorization

    Hello forums,
    I recently purchased a X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro, but i have been unable to use the Dolby Digital Live and The DTS connect, when ever i click to activate them a message comes up in brackets saying "Licence is invalid". I never got a prompt to put in my code, and i don't have the application to do so. Is there anyway to do it online because I believe this is the root of the problem. I have re installed the drivers and all the creative applications but still no luck.
    I need this application to properly work my speakers please help.

    2 months, no reply. Bumping in hopes for one

  • How do I get Dolby digital live or DTS connect to work?

    I have the sound blaster Zx sound card and the logitech z906 5.1 surround speaker system. I am connecting to the speakers via optical cable. I figured Dolby digital live and/or DTS would sound great with this set up, only problem when I turn on either of those my speakers go silent. I set Speakers: Soundblaster Z as my default playback device but other than that I am not sure what I need to do to get it to work.
    Bruce

    I have the z 906 speakers, not the Z-5500 in your link. The manual I already have says the z906 speakers automatically detect the digital signal. I figured the Sound Blaster card would convert an analog signal to digital since it is going into the speakers through the Optical cable, I guess I was wrong.
    I have read the link about digital connections on these forums along with the notice in the cinematic tab in the Sound Blaster control panel. I believe they are both saying that I will not be able to use my music player (windows media player) in conjunction with the Dolby DTS and Dolby Digital Live, is this true?
    If so then is the only way to listen to the DTS or digital Live effects is through a DVD or Blu ray disc encoded for either of those effects?
    If this is true how do I test my dolby digital outputs to make sure they are working correctly?

  • DTS DVD's - No sound. Dolby Digital (DD 5.1) DVD's - Sound ok.

    >DTS DVD's - No sound. Dolby Digital (DD 5.) DVD's - Sound ok. Hello,
    I can't hear any sound on DVD's having DTS soundtrack.
    I?have perfect sound on DVD's with PCM/Stereo or Dolby Digital 5..
    Have to switch to "SPDIF-OUT" as default sound device in Windows control panel in order to hear DTS sound from DVD.
    But, can't hear any?Windows sounds with "SPDIF-OUT" selected -> Have to switch back from SPDIF-OUT?to "Lautsprecher "(Laudspeaker/WAVE Out?) each time...
    Is there a way to set up the X-Fi to handle DTS & PCM at the same time, without having to switch default sound device in control panel ?

    Hi there?The problem may be due to a hardware conflict on your system. The most likely cause is that you have not disbaled your onboard sound card, to find out how to do this click the following link:

  • DTS and Dolby digital support in Vista for Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor

    Hello, I own a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor with USB connection and would like to know when will be available a drivers for Windows Vista and Windows 7 where we have full support for using the Dolby Digital and DTS decoder, I mention because it seems that?this card is forgotten about the update of drivers and is a pity that it is?lack of the support.

    Sorry for not replying - have been away for the past few days.
    Ok, so I go to Creative Device Control, and on the PCI/USB tab I've changed the sampling rate to 48khz.
    It was previously at 44.kHz
    The bit depth is still at 6bit
    Now the problem seems to be solved.
    The problem was only with the output from the device. And now there are no skips!!
    Excellent!
    Why has that solved it though?
    I've read on other forums (head-fi) that the audigy cards do not run at 44.kHz nati'vely so the sound has to be downsampled.
    Is that skipping an artefact of that downsampling process?
    Will having that set at 48kHz, but recording to a 44.kHz 6bit wav file theoretically reduce the quality of the recording - compared to having it set at 44.kHz and recording a wav at 44.kHz?
    On the SPDIF tab the input sample rate is shown as 44.kHz - as that's what is output by the DAC in my minidisc deck.
    But when I changed the sampling rate on the PCI/USB tab, the SPDIF output sampling rate also changed to 48kHz.
    This means if I wanted to record from the optical output, whilst also recording to the computer, and that device only supported 44.kHz - I can't do that?
    You listed some main reasons to the truth, why Creative SB cards are not very popular on serious use (DAW). I.e. need for resampling. X-Fi's in creation mode are (least said to be) the only ones not resample everything.
    There is a setting for "Bit-Accurate-Recording" (digital modes only) --> have you tried if that works on your recordings?

  • NO Dolby Digital or DTS- Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum

    So after doing a clean install from Win XP to 7 PRO I now no longer can get dolby digital or dts through my speakers via toslink (optical, whatever u want to call it) . I have the latest win 7 drivers, tried reinstalling drivers using compatability mode (vista sp2), and configured it to play on on only digital outputs, spidf decode, set spdif output as my default device, set speakers to 5., and all combinations of that.
    I am also using the k lite codec pack and playing videos using media player classic.
    However, If i test dolby digital through? windows sound options it will detect and play the sample sound in dolby digital but my movies, etc will not when play through MPC.
    PLEASE HELP!

    ? You are needing to do AC-3 passthrough and you may want to use the Shark Codec Pack instead of K-Lite. Instructions for Shark's pack are here:

  • Titanium Dolby Digital - Windows Volume Controls Not Function

    I am extremely happy with the Titanium because it finally elminated the 4GB Snap-Crackle-Pop issues I've been having since I owned this motherboard.
    However, I've noticed that when I enabled Dolby Digital encoding over an optical output the master windows volume controls and muting do not affect the audio output at all.
    Using the master windows volume controls with the analog or unencoded digital optical outputs work fine. It is only when using Dolby Digital encoding that I see this strange behavior. In-game and application-level volume controls & muting work fine; it is only the master windows volume controls that are 'ignored' when using Dolby Digital.
    I'm still happy to see Dolby Digital encoding on this card, and very pleased that I'm using 4GB now without crackling in games or during music, but hopefully this Dolby Digital issue can be fixed.
    Have any other users observed this odd Dolby Digital behavior?

    Unfortunately (for me) the two of you are correct and windows volume controls have no effect in Vista.
    Auzentech has this on their FAQ:
    Q : After installing the sound card and connecting it to my surround sound system using S/PDIF output, keyboard and Control Panel adjustments to Volume and Balance either do not work or have minimal affect. Is that normal
    A : With Digital Audio output, output levels are controlled by the wave volume settings. Multimedia keyboards and remote controls only adjust the master volume. The third-party application "Volume Tracker" corrects the situation by linking wave volume and master volume. Volume Tracker is compatible with Windows 2000, XP and Windows Media Center.
    I also found this article:
    "Another direct consequence of transmitting a compressed audio signal instead of an uncompressed audio signal (more commonly known as PCM) is that the volume of that signal cannot be modified once it has been encoded. Because the bits in an encoded signal no longer directly correspond to the volume of that signal, it is impossible to increase the volume until it is decoded. This explains why your PC cannot control the volume of your sound when you are using Dolby Digital or DTS as the output. The connected device will be the only place where the volume can be changed."
    http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archi've/2008/03/04/using-s-pdif-to-send-audio-from-your-pc.aspx
    So it would seem that this behavior is not only intended, but apparently unchangeable in Vista. In XP there is a utility (Volume Tracker) that can fix this, reportedly. This utility has no effect in Vista.

  • Dts interactive / dolby digital live toggle switch tray icon

    hey guys, i had a better post typed out but the preview button failed and deleted it all, haven't had that happen in a long time, i normally copy it to clipboard
    here's a crude little program i whipped up, which effecti'vely toggles dts interacti've, or dolby digital li've on or off, with a simple left click of the mouse, right clicking the icon opens the creative audio console, this actually just runs a simple batch file that stops or starts the Creative Audio Service, its handy for my setup
    creative audigy , set as default device in windows
    realtek onboard digital out set to dts:interacti've output device set in creative console encode tab
    media player classic forced to use realtek digital output
    the problem is i wish to stream raw dd/dts audio tracks from videos in media player classic, so i need to turn off encoding, with this program i just click the icon then start the video and have the raw dts/dd bitstream sent to my receiver
    here's the program, 64bit only changes the location uses to looks for the Creative Audio Console ( \Program Files (x86)\ )
    the config.txt also has the location of audio console, and icon names
    32bit - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=26GWIJX7 CRC - ?EA4674
    64bit - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=22XSMLYS CRC - 0003940

    dts is considered the superior format.
    It's less compressed. I think they both can awesome personally.

  • Get DTS and Dolby Digital work

    Download ffdshow tryout filters from [url="http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout">here[/url] these filters are simply great for Vista they were actually written for it unlike previous versions of ffdshow.
    Thanks to those babies I have full XviD x264 and so on playback even in Media Center. Vista still crashes due to the driver issue though still waiting for proper drivers from Creative for my overpriced Audigy 2zs platinum pro.
    Funnily enough the drivers dated March 6th check out to be dated as the 2th of February if you view them through Device Manager, so that's over 2 months of problems and not a single driver update. Waiting and hoping.Message Edited by euphoria_aus on 04-9-200703:52 AM

    Hello,
    I purchased a mini to TOSLINK optical cable to connect my GT70 0NC to my Logitech Z-5500 5.1 speaker system and I was wondering if the ALC892 supports Dolby Digital Live. I'm able to get DTS and Dolby Digital to work just fine, but I don't see an option to change the default format of the digital output in the Realtek HD Audio Manager to Dolby Digital Live. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit with the latest audio drivers available.
    Thanks
    I hate saying this.
    Do yourself a favor, go buy an Asus Xonar U3, plug it in, and you will be much happier.
    I have a Z680 (precursor to the Z5500, pretty much the same thing though), and I couldn't stand how bad the Realtek HD performed. The Asus Xonar does a much better job. You hook it up, set it to output to the 'speakers', but have your TOSLINK cable connected, and you get upconverted dolby digital live sound output. Couldn't ask for anything better. The U3 only runs about $40, so it's not a huge investment.

  • What settings need to be adjusted to send out Dolby digital ,DTS from inputs such as Netflix to the video output via an adaptor to HDMI?

    Hi. I can only stream picture and PCM out of my Mac BookPro. What settings need to be adjusted to output Dolby Digital or DTS to an HDMI adaptor had thence onto my AV Processor?

    The Audio Midi Setup utility may need to have its settings updated.
