Any updates yet?
The list of bluray movies using dolby atmos is growing fast!
http://www.dolby.com/us/en/experience/dolby-atmos/bluray-and-streaming.html
This thread is 9 months old and still no news?

Has there been any updates to enable atmos yet or are they chicken feeding it out to make people pony up for the new version?
If not it is Lame as I would have bought it.
I'll just get a dolby atmos enabled preamp instead of waiting another 1/4 of a year for the functions I need today.

Nvidia 3D Vision is for monitors.
Nvidia 3DTV Play is for 3D TV's/Monitors
You don't need to buy a 3DTV license if you have 3D Vision with a USB emitter.
You do need a 3DTV Play license if you don't have a USB 3D vision emitter.
Using 3D on your TV in games without 3DTV Play is just using fake 3D unless the game has 3D natively in its settings.
I don't understand how you have it setup but for people having problems wth 3DTV Play the fix I posted earlier works.

This only works if you have an Nvidia graphics card and you have bought a 3DTV Play license.
It works with the latest driver you don't need an old driver.
I don't get how you are trying it without 3DTV Play!
Do you have an nvidia 3D vision emitter connected?

Set a 3D resolution in nvidia control panel. Ie 3D 1080p 24hz.
Load powerdvd and play film in 3D. (It'll look like crap)
Pause film.
Go to nvidia control panel
Change 3DTVPlay to checkerboard, press apply
Change back to 3DTV Play, press apply
Unpause film in powerdvd
Voila, working 3D!
Thanks to geforce forums for the fix!

Man I'm glad I only tried the trial of powerDVD.
I was hoping for dolby atmos and I couldn't even get 3D bluray to work!
The new Nvidia driver seems to help the artifacting a little but the transitions between camera changes are terrible!
It's like it's applying a fake 3D effect over the real 3D effect.
Bit of a coincidence the last driver to work was the one before Nvidia introduced fake 3D for games!
Cyberlink-Michael: If Cyberlink want to send me a license I'll happily let them remote desktop to my PC to let them go through my settings etc. Why spend an hour filling in all those forms when Corel WinDVD works right now!
The hours I've put in already trying to get this working!
I'll give it a try thanks sl4y3r. Thanks for the tip!

Boris i agree with everything you say apart from games have same probelm with 3D, they work fine!

The problem is there are artifacts around characters etc and when there is a camera edit/change of scene you can see it swipe from left to right or up to down or whatever transition effect they have used.
It's since they introduced the fake 3D tech for games.
The latest drivers have got better with the artifacts but motion is still off and the transitions (camera changes) are still horrendous.
It feels like you head is turning inside out.
6 months it has been like this! New driver that has just come out doesn't fix it either!
I've tried it on my Panasonic Plasma and my projector.
Tried different HDMI leads and allsorts. Going back to an old driver and everything works fine!
Problem is you cant use old drivers with the new 9 series gfx cards so it is pointless upgrading GPU's!

3D playback using Nvidia 3DTV Play has been broken for 6 months now. It's a joke.
See this thread
https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/767088/3d-vision/broken-3d-bluray-playback-since-fake-3d-driver-introduced-unfixable-/
If I was working for cyberlink I'd be fuming. The biggest reason most people buy PowerDVD is for 3D bluray playback and it doesn't work!
Other players do work mind so it's not 'just' a driver problem.

6 months it's been broken. Main reason people buy powerdvd14 is for 3d bluray playback on a PC and it doesn't even work!
Imagine all the people buying it then demanding refunds when it looks as bad as it does!
Who's going to think of trying a 6 month (and counting) old driver to get it working how it should?
What a joke!

Good luck getting a response from cyberlink or nvidia. Seems they are both as useless as each other.
Neither of their products are working as advertised and neither of them seem to care.
Just pretend it's alright, then it'll all go away!
It's since nvidia introduced the 'fake 3D drivers'
It's all over the nvidia forums and on these forums.
I mean, surely someone must have noticed it?!?!
The main reason people buy powerDvd is because it plays 3ad bluray but they still don't fix it or release a statement to say they are fixing it!
Crazy! Doesn't make much business sense to me.

It's nvidias fault. Read the thread I linked to.
They have also said they are working on the issue but that was a few driver revisions ago.
337.50 is the last working Nvidia driver for working 3D with powerdvd.

I have this same bug also.
It's really annoying, having to swap settings all the time.
Something else I have noticed too;
if I delay the audio by any amount the speakers seems to move. Centre speaker comes out of the front left etc.
If I change the output in powerdvd to stereo then back to 6 it will work as normal unless I fast forward or rewind. Then it glitches again!
This HDCP crap is a nightmare! It's not stopping anyone pirating films but stopping the people paying for them to not have a fully working setup.
It should just be playing 6 or 8 wavs in sync with a video and here we are looking for workarounds and jumping through hoops as it doesn't work properly!

Why wouldn't it work? All digital sound has to get converted to analogue at some stage.
I love how people think HDMI is some magical 24 bit sound cable.
HDMI has crippled standards for years. Especially 3D gaming where you can only have 720p resolution for 60hz.
I hope powerdvd does Dolby atmos decoding to analogue. It's in their interests to as they would make a hell of a lot of money from people ditching their standalone bluray players and decoders in order to get more outputs and better quality DACS with better reliability for less money!
They'd be stupid not to!
Anyway my trial is almost up and still no word on atmos. Hell i don't even know if i'm getting DTS HD decoding properly!
Why the hell would I buy this software if it didn't do that?!?
Maybe 3D bluray playback but I still have to use a 6 month old nvidia driver as 3D is broken otherwise.
It's not exactly the pro software I was expecting and the forums are full of misinformation, not one cyberlink employee has commented to set the record straight, and my question I sent to customer support about atmos has had no reply!
Says a lot about cyberlink customer service!
Maybe I'll see if I can get a trial from some of powerdvd's competitors before I make my decision!
So far I am not impressed!

Korrigan, I know you think I'm out on a trolling mission or something but I'm just here for info about atmos.
I truley hope my setup is playing a DTS MA stream, and it seems that way, but I guess I'll never know for sure!
It sounds good anyway! Anything above 48khz (44khz for that matter) is pointless for playback anyway, only really worth it when editing audio and recording but the extra dynamic range of 24 bit might be very slightly noticeable on a perfect setup in a perfect room whilst A/Bing but it's not the difference everyone thinks they are getting!
I might argue my point but at least I can admit when I've got something wrong, (like the space atmos takes up on bluray) I guess it takes character to do that.
Memeiriver, powerdvd is not the last amp but it is the last decoder. Everything after that is just a wav that is converted to analogue by the RME.
I noticed that powerdvd dts MA audio setup guide only has the HDMI method in powerdvd 12 FAQ, but it has the analogue output method (as well as the HDMI method) in the FAQ for powerdvd 13 and 14.
Anyway, whoever wants a decent audio setup without an amp/decoder should look at the RME stuff, especially with the ADAT output for more outputs for atmos.
It sounds better and is future proof.
Now just need to save up for my Adam s3x speakers and the Dbox actuators for my Dbox ready chair!
Does powerDvd support motion code for Dbox chairs BTW?
Let's not get catty, I think everyone is learning a lot from this thread, I know I am!

There you go!
Notice the RME in the bottom of the informer software.

Look at this post from over 4 years ago. Looks like they added it in version 13 like I said,

I said all 7.1 speakers are working if what you said was true I would only have 16bit 5.1!
I know it's hard to believe that you were wrong about this but I hope this post clarifies everything for you.
So now we've cleared that up any updates on atmos?

You're wrong again. I've tested it just now to make sure.
It's outputting 24bit 48khz 8 channel.
Just right click and show information.
I'll take a screen shot if you want!
Audio: DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 6219Kbps
Output: LPCM 48KHZ/24bits 8 Channels
And yes it's coming out of all 8 speakers and I have no hacks running!
That's more of your 'facts' debunked!
I'll even run it through my DAW later to make sure for you! 😀
EDIT- I also enjoy DTS 7.1 MA with 3D on my projector and my 4k monitor
EDIT - I've just verified with 'informer' software that it is definitely correct.
I know I'm not hearing 32 floating point 192khz from a bluray, I'm saying the RME is capable of doing so!
READ THIS: It even explains how to set it up!
http://www.cyberlink.com/support/product-faq-content.do?id=15698&prodId=1 
Looks like they added support in PowerDVD 13
Any information about a time frame for dolby atmos?

That is not true. My setup plays DTS 7.1 master audio fine.
You do know dts MA is just a 24bit (if you're lucky) 48khz (usually unless it's a music blu Ray) wav in a wrapper?
Nothing special, you're full of misinformation aren't you!
My RME will do 32bit floating point 192khz.
Get your facts right!

I have the RME fireface UC for my home theatre PC.
It has 6 Balanced outputs and 1 unbalanced headphone jack.
I route the L,R into the sub, and use the sub crossover for bass mangement, I also send the LFE channel through the L and R in RME totalmix software (which is awesome BTW) the have centre SR SL and RL out of the other balanced outputs and the RR out of the unbalanced headphone output.
It's using all the analogue outputs but works very well.
(The benefit of balanced outputs is you don't get ground loops inherent with active speaker setups, amongst other things)
My monitors are active (amp built in), as this is a better solution I find, If you spec'd up a passive speaker with matching (bi-amped) amplifiers and a dedicated hardware crossover you will be paying a lot of money to get even close to the sound quality of a mid range active setup.
The RME has superior DAC's to most (possibly all!) home theatre decoders and also has one of the most stable word clocks on the planet. This makes a huge difference in sound quality too.
The RME also has ADAT so I can add a lot more balanced outputs (perfect for atmos) as required.
A decoder is more expensive, doesn't have balanced outputs (unless you spend a lot of money) the routing isn't as flexible (check out RME total mix) it isn't expandable (RME has ADAT) , isn't future proofed (no having to buy new receivers/decoders/amps for 3d, 4k, DTS-HD, atmos, HDMI 2.0 (or whatever hoop they want you to upgrade to next) with the RME, Just good old fashioned balanced TRS/XLR outputs and USB, so it's also cheaper in the long term and short term.
The question is why are people buying all this consumer equipment when you can have a lot better setup that will last a lot longer?
Who would want to bitstream when powerDVD does the decoding for you and the audiointerface can do what it does best (digital to analogue conversion)
I also use an apogee setup for my mac home studio, but that's another thread.
It's the powerDVD channel limit that is restricting. + there is an option for 'use windows speaker configuration' so it would be nice to get an update from microsoft too.
If these receivers and decoders have firmware updates to enable atmos power DVD should have them very soon I would hope.
ASIO is for low latency recording/monitoring and is used for music production, it won't be utilised in powerDVD and the likes.
