well i dropped the idea of optic connection and i'm now using analog cables... less than 3 meters so cant hear the difference.. but i can enjoy master audio at least
|
|
|
hmm... why do i only get stereo/2ch sound on s/p-dif?
maybe this relates to that i only have the primary audio option
|
|
|
1. YES but not as DTS/DD but as DTS-EX/ES or DD-EX as these formats provide a tad better sound, again it should not be a problem to tell PDVD what format to send out on optical
2. There is not much to say about audio, i just select s/pdif and in the drop below i'm not been other options than "only primary audio"
3. lord of the rings spec. extended version

i want to add that if there is need to convert DTS master audio then it should relly have been included as this is relly a basic feature on a pc software player.
you can say that i should just get a graph card with hdmi but not all amps have that as input...
and it should not be that hard to take dts master audio whic is 6.1 just at a higher sample rate and down convert it so it just fits the specs of dts-es
|

1. Yes . PDVD is set to s/pdif but it does only output 2 channels on the optic cable.
2. if that means i can output 6.1 sound on optic then yes
and it is possible to put 6.1 on optic as DTS-ES is also 6.1

Is your PowerDVD a Retail product or bundles with HW? Retail
. i can start with 8 speaker and change to spdif
|
|
|
|
hmm... seems like it's going to analog out... that at least works
|
|
|
|
the point was more that pdvd11 has the settings but not the feature... not going to pay extra for it
|
|
|
know this is an old one but just thought that i would add a strange observation... in 3d settings you can set the source to 2D... but why on earth have that option if the output is not 3D???
my test movie was lord of the rings

The detailed issue description
S/PDIF only allows for 2 channel output from PowerDVD but DTS 5.1 from OS when testing formats. Decoder is able to handle 6.1 on S/PDIF input. PowerDVD should be fully updated and so are the OS. Have checked for drivers and they should all be updated too. dxdiag attached.
In case the forum can not help me I have submitted the issue to Cyberlink under Question ID CS001121360

just checked... i can start with 8 speaker and change to spdif but the optical output do not change at all.. not even a single blink to indicate that it puts out multichannel sound
|

Yes.. only primary audio no matter what
The decoder has no settings... it does auto switch depending on what signal comes in... might sound strange but that is a true/fact..
if i do a test from win7 sound options the decoder changes to DTS... and DD if i test that...
this autoswitching also works perfect when i connect a apple tv box or a dvd player
the only settings the decoder has are levels for the different pair of speakers(front, center, sub, side surround and rear surround -- 7.1 max)

My graph card is a Geforce 9800 GT, this i perfect for me as it allows me to play 3D on the Optoma HD67N as i have the 3d vision glasses. It might seem an low end option but for me 720p is enough.
it works perfect i just cant figure why spdif only allows me 2 channels from powerdvd but windows can trigger the decoder to switch to DTS (only format i have enabled)
in power dvd i only have the primary audio as option when using spdif, for 8 speakers setup i have no effect and dolby and true theater... but running 4 minijack connections to my speakers would be the last option... or is it the only way?

upps... forgot to say that i use latest drivers and all win7 updates plus powerdvd fully updated too

Hi
Sure you think: not again
I have a Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3-B3 motherboard and a Creative DDTS-100 Decoder (supports: DTS®-ES both Matrix og Discrete, Dolby® Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic® 2, DTS Neo:6®)
I have connected the pc with optical and from windows 7 sound options i can test and get the decoder to change to dts.
Sadly in powerdvd i only get 2 channels.
I only have the optical/spdif enabled to rule out as many errors as possible.
if i enable speakers and set it to 8 speakers i all channels a given movie provides. sadly there is no speaker config for spdif in win7
tried ac3 filter but no luck
any ideas?
