There is one important fact with this scenario that you should know:
the digital audio output of any TV, that I am aware of, will only output the audio signal received via built-in DTV tuner through its Coax output to an external device (in your case either the DVB-T or DVB-C audio signal).
IT WILL NOT BYPASS digital audio signal received via any of its HDMI sockets to the Coax output !. Please be aware of that (its also mentioned in the user manual). This is not a limitation of the TV, but due to design rules of HDMI audio signal processing.
If you intend to connect a PC via HDMI to the TV and want to use digital audio, you must connect the PC directly to a capable AV-receiver with HDMI inputs.
The receiver will then decode the HDMI audio signal and bypass video signal to the TV.

  • 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:

  • I would like to connect my Apple TV to my receiver using an HDMI cable and pass thru dolby digital. I do not have optical inputs on my receiver.

    I want to connect my Apple TV to my receiver using an HDMI cable. This should allow me to pass thru high definition video and simultaneously decode Dolby Digital material with an HDMI connection from my receiver to my TV without the use of an optical cable (my receiver does not have an optical input). I am unable to decode 5.1 material and don't understand why this is not working. In the audio setting I have Dolby Digital output turned on.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are you sure the content you are playing has Dolby Digital.

  • 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?

  • Digital Connections, SPDIF and Dolby Digital Info

    I have noticed that many people have problems using their digital connections, so I put together this info to try and explain the difference between digital and analogue, and how to use them.
    Digital ConnectionsDigital connections come in two standard forms, optical and coax. They both give you exactly the same result, the only difference is the medium (material) through which the signal travels. The thing to remember about digital is that for ordinary, uncompressed sound, it will only carry a stereo signal. So, if you like to use CMSS with your music, or you try the speaker test function, optical/coax is useless as you only hear the front left/right speakers.
    Movies wth Dolby Digital (AC3) & DTSMovies on DVD often use encoded audio in the form of Dolby Digital (AC3) or DTS. This means that all 6 channels are compressed into a single stream of digital data. A decoder is required to extract the channels and send the sound to the correct speakers. There are three ways to do this.
    ) Pass the AC3/DTS signal to a external decoder. This is where your optical/coax connection is used. To go down this route, you must first have a set of speakers or a decoder that supports Dolby Digital. In your DVD software, select 'SPDIF' as the audio output method and 'SPDIF Pass-through' in your soundcard options. What this does is tells both the software and soundcard to leave the audio from the DVD in compressed form and send it straight through the digital outputs. Your digital speakers/receiver will do all the decoding to give you full surround sound. Please note that this is the only way to get 6 channels through an optical/coax cable.
    2) Decode the AC3/DTS with your Sound Blaster.You should choose this option if you don't have an external decoder. In the DVD software, select 'SPDIF' as the audio output method and make sure that 'SPDIF Pass-through' in the souncard options is off. The DVD software will now pass the compressed audio to your soundcard, which will then decode the data. The soundcard will output the 6 channels using the analogue connections (or digital DIN, more on this later). If you try to use a digital optical/coax connection to your speakers, you will only hear faint sounds from the front left/right speakers.
    3) Decode the AC3/DTS with software.If you have a soundcard that doesn't support Dolby Digital (like the SB Li've! 24-bit) and you don't have digital speakers, the only way for you to get surround sound in movies is to use software to decode the AC3/DTS. The free versions of DVD software you get with hardware often don't support this feature, you will most likely need a full version. First select 'Dolby Digital' or 'DTS' decoding in the DVD software audio options (you must select the right sound format for the movie you are watching). Then make sure that 'SPDIF Pass-through' in the soundcard options is off. As with method (2) you must connect your speakers with the 3 analogue cables, not optical/coax.
    PC GamesPC games usually use technologies like as EAX to create surround sound, not Dolby Digital. So even if your speaker system has a Dolby Digital decoder, it will be of no use when playing games. The EAX processing is done on the soundcard, and the 6-channel sound is output via the analogue (or digital DIN if available). So you still need analogue connections to your digital speakers for games, if you just use an optical/coax cable you will only get the front left/right sound.(N.B. X-Box games do support Dolby Digital, so if you connect your X-Box to your Dolby Digital receiver/speakers with the optical cable, you can get full surround sound.)
    Creative's 4-pole mini-jack & Digital DINYou can only get the full use out of this connection when used between Creative Sound Blasters and compatible Creative speaker systems. It is the digital equivalent of the analogue connections, but instead of using 3 stereo sockets, you use just one digital socket. There are 4 conducting connections in the socket (unlike coax which has two) so there are enough connections to carry 3 different digital stereo signals (front R/L, rear R/L and Sub/Centre). You will probably require a 4-pole mini-jack > DIN converter to connect your Creative speakers to this socket. Using this connection will allow you to get surround from games (unlike SPDIF). However the digital DIN input on some Creative speakers can't receive AC3/DTS data, so you may still require an optical/coax connection.
    N.B. This digital socket on the Sound Blaster cards doubles as the digital coax output. If you don't have digital DIN, you can use a mono or stereo mini-jack > RCA converter to connect to the coax input on your speakers, as the front R/L or AC3/DTS signals are sent through the tip of the plug.

    Übersetzung + Erweiterungen + Revision 03-08-07
    Der Digitale Anschluß
    Ich habe beobachtet, daß viele Leute Fragen zu den Sound-Anschlüssen haben, daher trage ich hier einige Infos zusammen und erkläre die Unterschiede in der Verwendung der digitalen und analogen Anschlüsse.
    Digitale Anschlüsse – S-PDIF & Toslink
    Am PC gibt es zwei häufig verwendete digitale Anschlußformate optisch (Toslink) und koaxial (S-PDIF).
    Im Prinzip erzielen beide Anschlüsse genau das gleiche Audio-Ergebnis.
    Der primäre Unterschied ist das Medium ( das Material ) durch das das Signal übertragen wird. ( Glasfaser oder Kupfer )
    !! Update !!
    Ein wichtiger Aspekt in der Auswahl von digital-optischen Anschlüssen erklärt sich durch das Vermeiden einer sogenannten „Brummschleife“, d.h. eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung zweier Geräte muß vermieden werden.
    ( mit Lichtwellenleiter - LWL- z.B. mit dem Anschluß-System Toslink )
    In der Elektrotechnik ( Niedervolttechnik ) wird oft der „Negative“ Pol der Spannungsversorgung über das elektrisch leitende Gehäuse ( die sogenannte Masse )geführt. Das spart einerseits einen weiteren Kabelweg ( also Kupfer ) ein und ergibt eine mehr oder weniger wirksame (Ab-) Schirmung. Diese Schirmung soll die elektronische Schaltung vor elektromagnetischen, hochfrequenten und niederfrequenten Störeinflüssen je nach Ausführung der Schirmung schützen.
    Üblicherweise besitzt jedes elektronische Gerät eine eigene Spannungsversorgung. Netzteile in elektronischen Geräten unterscheiden sich in der Art der Spannungsumformung, in der Höhe der Spannung, in der zur Verfügung gestellten Leistung, durch verschiedene Bauarten und unterschiedliche Bauteil-Tolleranzen entstehen somit verschiedenste Masse-Potentiale.
    Werden solche Geräte durch elektrisch leitende Kabel verbunden, kommt es zu einem Ausgleich der verschiedenen Masse-Potentiale. Ein negatives Ergebnis der Verbindung von TV-Geräten oder PC-Komponenten mit Audio-Komponenten ist oft eine hörbare Beeinträchtigung von Audio-Signalen - ein tieffrequentes Brummen.( auch Brummschleife oder Masseschleife genannt )
    Hierfür verantwortlich zu machen ist eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung. In der HiFi-Technik ist das in der Regel ein Koaxialkabel und dessen Schirmung.
    Vermeidung u. Reduzierung dieser Störgeräusche Ansätze
    !! Der einfache Weg !!
    Einsatz einer optischen Signal- / Datenübertragung mit Lichtwellenleiter
    - Glasfaser als Trägermaterial
    ( Einsatz einer Datenübertragung ohne elektrisch leitende Verbindungen )
    aufwendige Wege
    Einsatz einer Galvanischen Trennung - mit einem Ground-Isolator
    (Massetrennung )
    + die elektrische Verbindung der Schirmung wird umgangen
    - aber Leistungs- & und Klangverlust(geringere Dynamik)
    - Verwendung von ( hochwertigen ) symmetrischen Verbindungen
    ( „PLUS“ „MINUS“ „Masse“)
    + Trennung der Schirmung an einer „Seite“ des Kabels möglich
    [bei Koaxialkabel unsinnig weil eine Ader zerstört wird und
    anschließend dieses Kabel wertlos ist ]
    - sehr große Anschlüsse
    - Profibereich
    - Einsatz einer zentralen Spannungsversorgung für alle miteinander
    verbundenen Geräte
    Nachtrag
    Bitte nicht verwechseln mit Netzbrummen - die Einstreuung der Netzfrequenz 50 Hz ( EU ) oder 60 Hz ( US ) in den Audio-Signalweg das ist üblicherweise auf eine nicht ausreichende Entstörung oder(Ab-)Schirmung zurückzuführen ist.
    - End - !! Update !!
    Einige Vorbetrachtungen
    Die traditionelle Ton-Übertragung ist ein unkomprimiertes Signal, es wird in Stereo übertragen.
    Wenn du CMSS ( Creative Multi Speaker Surround simulierten Surround Sound ) aus deiner Stereo-Musik erzeugen willst oder der Sprach-Test abgerufen wird ( nur über den Center ) ist der digitale Anschluß ( optisch & koaxial ) unbrauchbar, denn es würden nur die Lautsprecher Front-Rechts und Front-Links angesprochen !! Es wird ein anderer Anschluß benötigt, der die Kanäle einzeln ansteuert.
    Für das Format 5.1 ist das die Verbindung über die drei 3,5 mm Klinken-Stecker ( 3 mal 2 Kanäle ) mit der folgenden
    Kanalzuweisung 5.1
    Front R / Front L + Rear R + Rear L + Subwoofer / Center
    Mehrkanalton in Filmen - DolbyDigital (AC3 / DD) oder DTS
    Filme auf DVD verwenden häufig ein kodiertes Mehrkanal-Audiosignal, in der Form DolbyDigital ( AC3 / DD ) oder DTS. Bei dem gebräuchlichsten Format 5.1 werden 6 Signale ( 3 mal 2 Kanäle ) in einem digitalen Datenstrom zusammengefaßt und komprimiert = das Kodieren.
    Nach der Übertragung des Signals muß aus diesem Datenstrom ein Decoder die entsprechenden Töne trennen und jedem Kanal zuordnen = das Dekodieren.
    Drei Varianten der Decodierung sind möglich.
    (1) - AC3 / DTS Signal wird zu einem externen Decoder geführt
    Genau hier wird der optische / koaxiale Anschluß genutzt. Um diese Variante nutzen zu können, mußt du ein digitales Lautsprecher-Set oder einen Digital-Decoder ( z.B: Digital-Receiver ) besitzen, der die Dekodierung des gewünschten Formats ( DD, AC3, DTS) übernimmt. Für jedes Digital-Format benötigt man einen entsprechenden Decoder – das Handbuch weiß hier oft mehr – welches Format von welchem Gerät dekodiert werden kann !!
    Wähle in deiner DVD-Software den zur digitalen Datenübertragung gewünschten Anschluß "S-PDIF"( Koaxial ) oder "Optisch" als Audio-Ausgang.
    In den Soundkarten-Einstellungen muß die Option "S-PDIF-Durchschleifen" ( "SPDIF Pass-through" ) eingestellt werden.
    Dadurch wird das Audio-Signal von der DVD in digitaler ( komprimierter ) Form direkt an die Digital-Ausgänge der Soundkarte weitergeleitet. Anschließend kann ein angeschlossener externer Decoder z.B. im digitalen Lautsprecher-System oder im Digital-Receiver die Decodierung übernehmen und es entsteht ein „Räumliches Klangbild“.
    Bitte merken:
    Daß ist der einzige Weg 5.1 Signale ( digital ) über ein koaxiales bzw. optisches Kabel zu übertragen.
    (2) - AC3 / DTS mit der Soundkarte decodieren
    Diese Variante ist zu verwenden, wenn du keinen externen Decoder / Receiver verwenden willst.
    In der DVD-Software wird "S-PDIF" als Audio-Ausgang gewählt und es muß zwingend in den Optionen der Soundkarte "S-PDIF-Durchschleifen" ( "SPDIF Pass-through" ) deaktiviert werden.
    Die DVD-Software wird jetzt das ( digitale ) komprimierte Audio-Signal an deine Soundkarte senden und dann werden dort die digitalen Daten decodiert. Die Soundkarte gibt dann die 6 Audio-Kanäle ( bei 5.1 ) über ihre drei analogen Anschlüsse aus ( 3 mal 3,5 mm Klinke ) mit folgender
    Kanalzuweisung 5.1
    Front R / Front L + Rear R + Rear L + Subwoofer / Center
    Es wird in diesem Beispiel also ein 5.1-Lautsprecher-System benötigt, mit der analogen Anschluß-Option von drei Klinken-Steckern.
    ( also 3 x 2 Kanäle = 3 mal 3,5 mm Klinke )
    - die Einspeisung eines digitalen Signals über DigitalDIN, ist mit dem optionalen digitalen E/A-Modulbei möglich ***
    - wird hier ein optisches / koaxiales Kabel verwendest, hörst du nur schwache Töne der Front-Lautsprecher R + L
    *** Bei Karten der SB073X-Serie verfügt diese Buchse nicht über die Digital-In-Funktion !! zur Unterstützung des digitalen E/A-Moduls )
    [ mehr unten ]
    (3) - AC3 / DTS mit einer Software decodieren
    Wenn deine Soundkarte kein DolbyDigital unterstützt
    ( wie die SB Live! 24-bit ) und auch kein digitales Lautsprecher-System vorhanden ist, kannst du Raumklang
    (Surrsound-Sound ) aus DV-Filmen auch über eine AC3 / DTS fähige Software erzeugen.
    Gratis-DVD-Software-Versionen unterstützen diese Funktion häufig nicht, du benötigst dann eine Software-Voll-Version.
    Wähle die gewünschte digitale Audio-Tonspur „DolbyDigital“ oder „DTS“, im Audio-Menü einer DVD.
    Dann stelle sicher, das in den Soundkarten-Optionen "S-PDIF-Durchschleifen"
    ( "SPDIF Pass-through" ) ausgeschaltet ist.
    Wie unter (2) mußt du deine Lautsprecher mit den drei analogen Kabeln anschließen und nicht optisch oder koaxial !! ( 3 mal 3,5 Klinke )
    Kanalzuweisung 5.1
    Front R / Front L + Rear R + Rear L + Subwoofer / Center
    Generell sind bei zuvor genannten Varianten (1) – (3) auch andere mehrkanalige
    Wiedergabeformate möglich.
    In Abhängigkeit von der Ausstattung der Quelle also von der DVD. der CD. der TV-Karte, dem Game usw. sind andere Formate z.B. 2.0 / 2.1 / 4.0 / 4.1 / 5.1 / 7.1-Kanal Wiedergabe möglich.
    PC Spiele
    PC Spiele nutzen normalerweise Technologien wie EAX, die ihren eigenen Surround-Sound, ohne Verwendung von DolbyDigital erzeugen. Selbst wenn dein Lautsprecher-System einen DolbyDigital-Decoder besitzt, ist dieser für Games unbrauchbar. Denn die EAX Verarbeitung findet direkt auf der Soundkarte statt und die Ausgabe der 6 Kanäle ( 5.1 ) erfolgt über die analogen Ausgänge
    ( 3 mal 3,5 mm Klinke ) ( oder über DigitalDIN, wenn vorhanden *** ).
    *** Bei Karten der SB073X-Serie verfügt diese Buchse nicht über die Digital-In-Funktion !! zur Unterstützung des digitalen E/A-Moduls ) [ mehr unten ]
    Kanalzuweisung 5.1
    Front R / Front L + Rear R + Rear L + Subwoofer / Center
    Für Mehrkanalwiedergabe in Spielen benötigst du also Lautsprecher-Systeme mit analogen Anschlüssen oder einen Digital-Receiver mit analogem ( 5.1 ) Eingang.
    Wenn du ein optisches / koaxiales Kabel verwendest, dann kannst du nur die vorderen Kanäle ( links / rechts ) hören.
    !!! Notiz !!!
    X-Box Spiele unterstützen DolbyDigital, wenn du deine X-Box mit einem DolbyDigital-Receiver oder einem digitalen Lautsprecher-System über optische Kabel verbindest, kannst du den vollen Surround Sound nutzen.
    Die Sound Blaster Karten der SB073X-Serie bieten neben dem digitalen ( koaxial / extern ) Anschluß über den Anschluss Flexi-Jack auch noch einen weiteren Anschluß, direkt auf der Karte ( koaxial / intern )
    Flexi-Jack - DigitalDIN
    Wenn du kein digitales E/A-Modul ( Digital I/O-Modul ) benutzen kannst, ist es möglich mit einem Klinke-Chinch Adapter ( RCA-Adapter ), ein digitales Lautsprecher-System oder einen Digital-Receiver digital ( koaxial ) über den Flexi-Jack-Ausgang der Soundkarte zu verbinden. Alle MiniDin bzw. 3,5 mm Klinken-Stecker können in der Mono- oder auch in der Stereo-Ausführung verwendet werden, denn der mittlere / vordere Pin des 3,5 mm Klinken-Steckers überträgt das AC3 / DTS Signal. Dazu benötigt man eine der folgenden Verbindungen
    3,5 mm Klinke ( Mini DIN ) auf Chinch - Adapter ( RCA-Adapter )
    für den S-PDIF-Anschluß( koaxial ) an Lautsprecher-Systeme mit digitalem Eingang bzw. Digital-Receiver kann man folgende Varianten verwenden
    - Klinke-Mono - Chinch-Stecker ( Stecker –Stecker ) ( Favorit !! )
    - Klinke-Mono auf Chinch-Mono ( Stecker - Kupplung ) + Chinch-Verbindungkabel
    ( Stecker - Stecker )
    - Klinke-Stereo auf Chinch-Mono ( Stecker - Kupplung ) + Chinch-Verbindungkabel
    ( Stecker - Stecker )
    Das digitale E/A-Modul ( Digital I/O – Modul )
    Die Verwendung von optionalem Zubehör Digitales E/A-Modul ( Digital I/O-Modul ) bietet die Möglichkeit der direkten Verwendung eines S-PDIF Verbindungskabels und stellt zusätzlich zum koaxialen Anschluß einen optischen Anschluß ( Toslink ) bereit. Die optische Verbindung kann wie oben beschrieben zur Vermeidung einer Brummschleife hilfreich sein.
    Des weiteren wird ( abhängig von der Ausstattung der Soundkarte *** ) ein digitaler Eingang über das E/A-Modul bereitgestellt, der Eingang ist ebenso wie der Ausgang in optischer ( Toslink ) und koaxialer ( S-PDIF ) Bauform ausgeführt.
    Achtung !!
    ( *** Bei Karten der SB073X-Serie verfügt diese Buchse nicht über die Digital-In-Funktion !! zur Unterstützung des digitalen E/A-Moduls )
    interner S-PDIF E/A-Anschluss ( für Geräte der SB073X-Serie )
    zum Anschluß einer Decoderkarte oder externer Decoder bzw. Lautsprechersysteme mit digitalem Eingang ist ein entsprechender Adapter erforderlich
    Bei einigen Modellen ist eine Dekoderkarte im Lieferumfang enthalten bzw. in einigen Regionen als Zubehör erhältlich
    Front Panel-Sockel (für Geräte der SB073X-Serie)
    2 x 5-poliger Front Panel-Sockel nur für Verbindungen mit einem Intel HD Front Panel Audio-Standardsockel (nur Geräte der SB073X-Serie) Intel Front Panel Audio-Kabels (separat erhältlich)
    Anschlusskompatibilität
    Ausschließlich Intel HD Front Panel Audio-Standard
    Nicht kompatibel mit AC97 oder Intel-kompatiblem HD Front Panel Audio
    Einschränkungen
    Wenn neben den hinteren Mikrofonen auch Frontmikrofone angeschlossen sind, werden die hinteren Mikrofone automatisch deaktiviert.
    Sound Blaster X-Fi E/A-Konsole
    Auf der Rückseite Ihrer X-Fi-E/A-Konsole* befindet sich eine sogenannte DIN-Buchse. Um die Funktionen für eine integrierte Lautsprechersteuerung zu nutzen, können Sie an diese Buchse ausgewählte analoge Creative-Lautsprechersysteme anschließen, die über eine Kabelfernbedienung oder eine Audiokonsole verfügen.
    So können Sie beispielsweise über den Master-Lautstärkeregler Ihrer X-Fi-E/A-Konsole die Lautstärke der Lautsprecher regeln oder die Lautsprecher stummschalten.

  • Any Dolby Digital Live/DTS Connect support?

    I'm just wondering if there were any products (USB/Firewire preferred, but PCI also) that support Dolby Digital Live and/or DTS Connect? Specifically, a product that will output bitstream AC3 or DTS to a home theater receiver via SPDIF?
    (and I don't mean simply passing thru a DVD's AC3 or DTS, I mean outputting all system sound via transcoding to AC3/DTS bitstreams)
    I've got a bgears b-enspirer for a PC, but I'd rather use a Mac for home theater and possibly World of Warcraft..

    Hi Mathew
    I have a Griffin FireWave. These are no longer made but may still be available if you search. It is a firewire device which give you 6 (5.1) channels of audio output. The outputs are direct speaker connections (L/R C/S LS/RS), so you need to be sure your home theatre system accepts these. It does NOT have optical outputs to a home theatre system and I think it's unlikely that you'll even find something which does.
    The FireWave is a great device. It allows me to choose 5.1 audio output in Audio Midi Setup. It can then be driven in 5.1 mode by suitably written applications, and it also gives me full surround sound when I play a DVD.
    I have seen some similar USB devices, but none of them claim to be Mac compatible - which seems rather odd to me!

  • 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

  • DTS-610 connection to Dolby Digital Receiver without DTS feat

    Hi,
    I have a JBL ECS 333 sound system (amplifier + speakers) with Dolby Digital 5. support and digital inputs (optical + coax.). It has not DTS label on it - just the Dolby Digital! Will the DTS-60 work with my system.

    roku,
    I'm afraid you will need a receiver/device that's capable of decoding DTS in order to work with the DTS-60.

  • Dolby Digital Live and DTS Connect Pack not installing at all!!

    I have (unfortunately) a Soundblaster X-Fi X-treme audio soundcard hooked up through an optical cable to my Inspire 5.1 Digital 5700 receiver. Of course, the sound card doesn't come with a Dolby Digital decoder, so it must be purchased seperately through Creative. Well, I downloaded (and PAID FOR) the software here after viewing and MAKING SURE my f'ing card was listed: http://buy.soundblaster.com/_creativ...DDN6Z2H2ADDEZD
    However, when I go to install it the installer says "setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system" then closes. So that's fantastic. No explanations, no nothing. I have a supported card, updated drivers, but the software THAT I PURCHASED FROM CREATIVE simply is not detected. Of course, finding technical support from Creative is like finding water in the desert, so I am here. Can anyone please help me with this? I am about to call my bank and deny the $5.00 transaction if I cannot get this fixed, I've been working on it for two freaking hours now. ANY HELP is greatly appreciated.

    Well, I had a reply typed and clicked "reply" but of course it asked me to log in again and lost my response. It seems their forums are quite awful as well. Suffice it to say, my soundcard is listed here: http://buy.soundblaster.com/_creativ...DDN6Z2H2ADDEZD where I purchased the product. My receiver is capable of playing DVD's in Dolby Digital, and all modern games support it, so I was of the understanding that all I needed was this DTS encoder.
    I was quite angry when I wrote the post, as I couldn't get it to work, their tech support is abysmal (almost non-existent) and there were literally no instructions, it simply gave me the error and booted me. I have written a complaint to the better business bureau and will never again purchase another Creative product. They can $hit on consumers all they like, but consumers like me (and daniel_k it seems) will not forget so easily.

  • Z87-G45 Dolby Digital Live or DTS connect support?

    As I understand it the motherboard uses the Realtek ALC1150 audio codec. There is a mention of an "Optional Dolby PCEE program" on the ALC1150 realtek info page.
    Is this something that MSI must implement on top of the driver or is there a free driver/software somewhere that provides this support?
    I want to be gaming with Dolby Digital/DTS on my receiver with this motherboard. Is it possible?

    With an aftermarket add-in PCI-E sound card, yes. Most of the time, higher end boards will have certain features that won't be made available for the lower end mainboards. You could always ask MSI Technical about it;

  • ATV3 - I need to enable dolby digital for optical surround sound (netflix and home movies), but when I do this it stops audio coming through TV speakers

    I have a cinema sound receiver connected to Apple TV via optical cable.  When I have dolby digital set to Auto it doesn't come through as dolby digital when watching movies on netflix and iTunes (home movies).
    If I set Dolby Digital to ON it works as expected, but the sound stops working through normal TV speakers (via HDMI).  This is the same for netflix and home movies.
    I tried 16 bit setting, but it made no difference.
    Any advice on how I can get this working - meaning Dolby Digital always on for when I turn my surround sound on and sound through speakers for normal operation?
    Obviously I can change the setting when needed, its just a pain.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello everyone, 
    here is the friendly and signed driver installation method to enable Dolby Digital Plus in your Encore internal speakers only. This is not an official driver, there is no control panel for Dolby Digital Plus or various sound effects, but tested and has much better and richer surround sound quality as before with factory driver. I guess, this driver tweak can work with any Bay Trail tablet also.
    How can you upgrade Encore sound drivers:
    1. Download signed driver package and extract.
    2. Open Device Manager.
    3. Upgrade your Sound, Video and game controllers
    - Intel SST Audio Device
    - Realtek I2S Audio Codec
    one by one with "Have a disk" method.
    4. Double click enabledolby.reg file and add to your registry.
    5. Restart, and enjoy better sound quality.
    Thanks.

  • Stereo Sound to Rear Speakers Only / Dolby Digital

    Just purchased a Toshiba 40S51U LCD TV.  Having an issue with the sound when connected to a receiver via the optical out. 
    I think the issue is as follows:  When the program (ie local news) or commercial is broadcast in stereo, the sound is sent only to the surround (rear) speakers.  Sound is great (surround works just fine) when watching a show.  Assuming the shows are broadcasting 5.1 sound, local news only 2.0. 
    Signal is over-the-air. 
    I can switch the sound output to PCM and get reasonable sound for everything, but obviously lose the surround sound.  Would like to keep the system in Dolby Digital (AUTO) all the time. 
    Thanks,
    Rob
    Solved!

    Me again -- I'm an idiot and the TV was just fine. 
    My receiver was set to a non-connected set of speakers -- not sure why anything was working!  I changed the speakers to the set actually connected and everything seems to be working OK now.  The optical out on the TV was likely never an issue.

  • Dolby Digital Auto Setting Doesn't Work w/4.4.2?

    I have a bunch of old movies that were recorded in stereo, pre-Dolby, and of course, a bunch of newer in Dolby Digital.  After upgrading to Apple TV iOS 4.4.2 yesterday, I now find that the Settings/Audio & Video/Dolby Digital/Auto setting no longer works. 
    I just started a new iTunes downloaded movie with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound and noticed that it was playing in PCM stereo-only mode for some reason.  I then tried a couple of other older iTunes downloaded movies with 5.1 sound, and they all were playing in the same old PCM stereo mode, as well.  To get the new movie to play in 5.1 sound, I had to manually change the above Dolby Digital setting to ON.
    A similar issue applies to older movies in pre-Dolby stereo.  If the above setting is set to Dolby Digital ON, those older movies switch from normal stereo to Dolby Digital 1.0/Center channel only sound, so I have to either switch the Dolby Digital setting to OFF or back to Auto, which defaults to PCM stereo for everything now.
    Is anyone else experiencing this change?  The Auto function worked perfectly for me before this upgrade.
    I'm using an Apple TV 2 with an optical connection to my audio amplifier.  The movie is streaming over my wired gigabit Ethernet home network from my iMac.

    Seems to be an issue for some of us since 4.4; see other thread.

  • Dolby Digital Audo Setting -- Need a setting that just works!

    Can anyone provide info about the dolby digital (DD) AUTO setting - and what it is supposed to accomplish?
    Auto (the default) limits output to stereo via HDMI, and 2 channel PCM via the optical output. That just doesn't seem like much of an "automatic" setting to me.
    When set ON - content encoded with DD does get properly sent out the optical cable but at the expense of the stereo feed to the HDMI port. And, this can be really confusing to a casual or novice user, especially if the user had been watching content with just the TV speakers active. If a new movie with DD encoding starts, the user gets no audio at all. And there are times when audio output from the TV is fine, and the power from the audio receiver is not needed.
    I believe Apple should enable the stereo feed via HDMI - AND - output a digital feed via the optical cable. It doesn't matter if this is the ON or the AUTO setting, but one of these should "just work".
    I'm really not looking forward to having to toggle this setting depending on the content I'm viewing.
    I'd appreciate any helpful info - words of wisdom - even blank stares!
    Thanks in advance

    Ok I think I understand how it works now. Auto won't send 5.1 if one of the components connected (like a TV) does not support 5.1. So for instance if you connect your HDTV with HDMI and use optical to a 5.1 receiver, you'll get stereo on both because the TV does not support 5.1. Auto on the Apple TV basically uses the lowest common denominator that allows both to output the same thing at the same time.
    However, if you switch it to On in that setup, only the optical cable will get sound and it will be in 5.1 because it's the only output connected to a 5.1 capable device, your receiver.
    However, the optimal connection method is to just connect your Apple TV with HDMI directly to a receiver with HDMI inputs. That way, Auto allows the 5.1 sound over the HDMI cable to your receiver and the receiver sends the video to the TV over its HDMI output cable.

  • Dolby digital via Toslink

    Hardware
    Mac mini (mid 2011)
    Yamaha YAS-101
    I've connected a mini to a Yamaha YAS-101 via Toslink hoping to receive Dolby Digital 5.1. The problem is that the YAS-101 detects the signal as stereo. I was under the impression that it shouldn't be a problem to achieve this via Toslink? Tested with Itunes and VLC.
    The YAS-101 detects DD when playing a bluray from a PS3 so shouldn't be a problem there.
    Thankful for any help.

    If your Mac Mini has a HDMI port, it's one of the few Apple products that does audio (5.1) and video through the HDMI port.
