SPDIF passthrough availibility in future for vista

Hello,
will SPDIF passthrough comes later for vista64 or is it a deathend?

Remember, unless there is an ACTIVE protected stream playing, like protected Blue Ray or HD Dvd, windows locks down nothing. It's not until there is an acti've stream running, that is protected and specifies that that in order to run this stream, you must close down amongst other things SPDIF, you are able to use SPDIF amongst others just fine.
OK. Thanks for the info.

I have SPDIF passthrough in Vista x

After trying to solve this for quite a while I finally found a way to get SPDIF passthrough in Vista x64. Apparently it's been working all the time, the trick is you need to use a 64bit player. Vista is by default using the 32bit version of WMP found in C:\Program Files(86)\, but if you go to C:\Program Files\ you will find the 64bit version of WMP.
Be aware that the 64bit version of WMP requires 64bit codecs and a 64bit codec pack is very likely to interfere with the audio processing.
If you are not getting SPDIF passthrough after installing a codec pack, make sure your audio decoder is set to "MPA Decoder Filter". If you still don't have SPDIF passthrough, put in a DVD and go to Tools --> Options --> DVD --> Advanced and set your output to SPDIF. I got a BSOD while trying to apply SPDIF output to a movie that hadn't been stopped, so I recommend you stop the movie before changing the output.
I hope this will work for you, as it did for me.

Cool!

SPDIF passthrough with Audigy SE and Digital I/O Car

Does anyone have this working or know if its possible with Vista 32bit's?Comparing my pc (built-in soundcard) with my new PC that has the Audigy, it looks like there are some tabs missing in Control Panel in the Playback->Digital Output Device screen, but I'm not sure if thats relevant or not. Maybe its possible to set SPDIF passthrough somewhere else?

Ok, well...can anyone tell me, for certain, which cards work with SPDIF passthrough in Vista? I really need this working, and if I have to buy another card, that would suck, but I need it for my htpc.

Is true SPDIF Passthrough possible with X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty P

I recently installed my X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro sound card and for the life of me I can't find where I can turn on SPDIF passthrough.
I know about the Dolby Digital Li've, and that's not what I want, I want just the simple optical SPDIF passthrough.
I also don't believe the option for Play Stereo Mix using Digital Output is the same either. Not looking for a stereo mix, just passthrough.
Can anyone help me out here?

I have the same card and I was able to figure how to do the real optical SPDIF passthrough in Vista X64.
First unselect the Dolby Digital Li've if you have that option on.
Second, I unchecked the stereo mixing feature in the creative volume panel.
Finally, you have to select the SPDIF Out Device as the default playback device in the windows sound manager (just right click in the windows speaker icon in the taskbar and select playback devices, NOT in the creative volume panel. There you can check with some tests if the Dolby and DTS sound is passing through the optical SPDIF correctly.
For Dolby Prologic II (PS2 emulator) I had to manually select to decode in that format to work (in my home theater options).
I have tested my method with a DVD Movie and it worked perfectly!, my external receiver detects de Dolby Digital signal from the movie automatically.

Can someone help me find a workaround to get flash to work in XP Pro 64 bit, like there is a workaround for vista 64 bit?

Can someone help me find a workaround to get flash to work in XP Pro 64 bit, like there is a workaround for vista 64 bit?
I am trying to get rid of all my 32 bit apps because the more of them you run in 64 bit the less resources are available.
Firefox has a 64 bit browser they call the Shiretoko build. I love it, it's twice as fast as a heavily tweaked 32 bit firefox. Java has a 64 bit plugin that works with it.
The last holdout is Adobe.
Microsoft is making Vista and Win 7 64 bit as easy and smooth as the 32 bit versions as a means to get people to start using them.
Linux has a way to make flash work with 64 bit.
Remember when we all had a 16 bit operating system and how much better things got with 32 bit?
Adobe, it's time!.. don't you see that?
Can someone help me solve my problem? Please?

Vista 64 Treo 600 Sync Solution that should also work for Vista 32

Ok Here is a partial solution for a Treo 600 (Bell) with Vista 64 (along with my Treo 755p TELUS)
I recently purchased an Acer with Vista 64 to replace a XP machine that was having increasing hardware failures. I did not know at the time there was no support for Vista 64 and that Palm had only released a Vista 32 desktop the week before.
I managed to install the Vista 32 bit desktop software on my Vista 64 machine with no error messages but when I tried to install my Treo 755p I found out about the lack of Palm USB Vista 64 drivers
Insert Palm wasting time on Folio instead of Treo driver support rant @#!%!#%^^!#^@^@!%#!!!!!!! (I know it should be longer but most of it has been said before) Ok back to business.
Treo 755p
On the Palm forums I found the instructions for getting a Treo 755p to sync via Bluetooth
I followed the instruction and purchased a Blue Tooth USP key (Oh and I tried the Kensington - Bluetooth 2.0 USB Adapter first...^$%^@@^@^!!!!! before I found the Iogear USB Bluetooth 2.0 Class 1 Wireless Adapter which works fine and is the only one I would recommend) I now have my Treo 755p working with Vista 64 with only one error message (I'll get back to it later)
Treo 600
I was not impressed with the fact that this device had not support at all from Palm for Vista (32 or 64) $#%^!%!^@^@^%@ (ok I feel better)
I found a suggestion from a UK site that mentioned you could sync a Treo 600 via IR and even suggested the correct IR USB unit to buy (SITECOM CN-100)
http://www.sitecom.com/product.php?productname=USB+to+fast+IrDA+adapter&productcode=CN-100&productid...
Unfortunately that particular IR USP reader is only sold in the UK. So I took a chance and ordered a "Cables Unlimited USB IRDA Adapter tem Number: C250-1160 (about $17.00 Cdn). It arrived a few days later and it installed on my Vista 64 machine immediately without requesting any "driver disk" I followed the instruction from Palm on how to set up a USB Sync and tried to sync. The Vista machine identified the Palm and was willing to work but the Palm desktop and active sync was not responding. I reread the IR instructions and it requires you to complete a USB sync first (@!#$!$#%!^%!#%~%!!!!!!!)
So I took a night to think about it. My only solution I could think about was to see if I could fake out the Palm desktop / sync software. I fired up the old XP device and copied the user profile for the Treo 600 and copied it into the correct location on the new Vista 64 machine. I tried IR sync and low and behold it worked. (Oh and an IR Sync takes a very, very long time) After the first sync I received a few errors, my Documents to Go files were in new locations, some calendar and memos were duplicated all were very minor. I manually fixed those errors and then completed IR Sync and the Treo 600 now works with a Vista 64.
Of course this solution only works providing you have access to your old Profile, but I figure if you been using a Treo 600 you probably not a new user. If your completing a totally new install on Vista I would suggest find a XP machine install it on it and complete sync, then copy that profile to the Vista machine.
Treo 755p Back up Error
The one error I received was it was unable to back up this file PmTraceDatabase
The message read: “Protocol Error: Handheld file could not be opened. (4004)
-SYNCERR_FILE_NOT_OPEN”
I looked for this file in my profile on the old XP machine and was unable to locate it, but I noticed they the Treo 600 didn't have this message when I copied over the entire profile, I tried to do the same with my Treo 755p profile but the error did not go away. So after researching the Palm Forums I found this simple solution
http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=windows_hotsync&message.id=28291&query.id=134275#...
So now that I have spent the last 3 weeks trying to get both of our Palms working with Vista 64 I figure the 64 bit USB drivers should be available any day now.......oh and I'm now hating Vista less......

TEMPRO is not working for Vista Ultimate x64

Hi
I have a Qosmio F50-10K and I installed Vista ultimate x64 and the Tempro appliaction is not working. After I install it, I left the Start Tempro button checked and when I press finish it gives me this error:
"internal error 2753
Toshiba.ui.controlpanelapplication.exe"
Same thing happens when I uncheck the box with start tempro.
For both situations nothing is left in the system, no files, no regstry, nothing.
Please HELP
Thank you

Hi!
I searched on the Toshiba download driver page and I found out, that Tempro is only available for Vista 32bit, not for 64bit.
So I think Tempro will not work on a 64bit OS.
Bye!

Trouble with SPDIF Passthrough and the Audig

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 from Dell and am trying to connect it to Logitech Z-680 speakers. I want to use digital surround sound. I found the instructions on how to do this on Logitech's site. However, I have a problem.
Step 2 states to go to Audio HQ, select 'Device Controls' and then select the 'decoder tab'. My Device Controls does not have a 'decoder tab' nor does it have a 'SPDIF Passthrough' option that I can find. Where do I find the SPDIF Passthrough option?
I have updated all of my drivers and Creative software as far as I can tell. In the Device Controls help it states: "Digital Input Settings is available only if you are using the Optical Digital I/O card or Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Dri've." Does this mean my Audigy 2 from Dell does not support optical out?!
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Janefoe,
Since this card is OEM I would suggest contacting Dell at this time. You can then find out from them if this feature was included with this card and if so how to enable or disable SPDIF Passthrough.

X-Fi Notebook Audio SPDIF passthrough.

&. Hi there, I have been trying to figure out on how to use optical out for SPDIF passthrough. Was wondering in using my laptop as a media center for the kids and wanna use the SPDIF passthrough option in XBMC (DD & DTS on my AMP). But, it doesn?t seem to work at all. I am running on XP. I used to be running on Windows 7 and that didn?t work either.
Thx. and yes I have run autoupdate and everything is up to date. And no, I don?t see anywhere SPDIF for playback, only SPDIF-in.

Ok im starting to understand now , only problem i have now is i have a converter (converts optical digital signal to rca digital signal) that is not working atm, so im able to connect the optical out to the rca in of my receiver. Otherwise im all set and ready to test it out . The moment i get AC3 5. out of it'si'll post it here. :smileyvery-happy:?Thx alot for the help justaguy

Will Microsoft release a better ReadyBoost for Vista?

Hi,
will Microsoft ever relase a better version of ReadyBoost for Vista? I've been using ReadyBoost on my Win7 on laptop, on older WinXP with eBoostr app. And now I've switched to Vista, which has BoostReady technology. Even if I have RAID1 or RAID10 HDD and
computer with 4GB of RAM, a noticeable speedup with ReadyBoost can be seen when opening an app - instant opening!
But on Vista there is only 4GB available for ReadyBoost file (disk). Right now I'm using an older available micro 16GB Kingston Traveller USB, which makes 12GB obsolete.
We (users) don't need 8x32GB like on Win7, a 32GB or 2x32GB would be just fine for Vista. Can you make such an update?
thanks, Microsoft.
