PM me if you are interested and we'll work out the details. It works great, you just have to supply a DC power pack, which Radio Shack has for about 15 bucks. I have an extra one, the black unit, and it's been upgraded with the new PIC chip that allows it to decode DVD/Blu-ray/HD-DVD bitstreams (the first units produced couldn't because the DVD spec for DTS hadn't even finalized) - I'll sell it to you for a very low price + shipping. DTS decoder was designed and built by MSB Technology and is the only decoder sold that used the same design as the DTS prototypes (which MSB also designed and built for DTS) and is the only add-on decoder that allows remote control of volume by changing the level of the analog white noise output from the undecoded analog out jacks on a LaserDisc player. I might take a look at the Technics board mentioned above, but I'm also thinking I might look for a Blu Ray player that has 5.1 analog output to piggyback on my Marantz DP-870 Piggybacking another on is unfortunately out of the question.
#Dts decoder external install#
I did, but the Xonar SE was not listed in the list of sound cards for that software, therefore, it didn't install correctly.It took me a year to find an affordable receiver locally, and even this one is a Sony that like to slip into Protector Mode every now and then.
When (re-)burned to a CD-R, my Bluray-Player also plays it flawlessly. Theres a chance, that this CD is not properly mastered, but my external hardware decoder has no problems with it.
#Dts decoder external software#
But decoding it in software (via ffmpeg) produces distortions. Since my TV's EDID does not report 5.1 over HDMI with my GPU in Windows, I can only select Stereo in the control panel settings. When playing via external DTS-Decoder (S/P-DIF) everything is fine. Apparently the EDID for my TV only reports stereo with HDMI when (based on my research), surround sound should be possible using HDMI only.
Have you gone into Sound Control Panel and selected 5.1/7.1 configuration when using audio over HDMI? I'm trying to do 4k 60Hz HDR with surround so ARC passthrough is out of the question.
#Dts decoder external 1080p#
I have, it caps out at 1080p 60Hz without HDR. Have you tried using the soundbar's ARC passthrough? Also the soundbar does not have the other 3.5mm plugs needed to do surround that way. Optical/Toslink does compressed 5.1, why are you doing this?īecause I really can't tell the difference and I'd rather have 5.1 surround even if it's "compressed". The soundbar itself is pretty great to me for sound compared other sound bars I've used and I'm not able to scrounge up the cash to get a real receiver/speakers.
#Dts decoder external windows 10#
Windows 10 (I think 1904 build, I'll have to double check)īecause its girlfriend approved: doesn't take up as much space as an A/V receiver, was cheaper than an A/V receiver and speakers, and it was a gift from said girlfriend. I need to find a PCIe sound card that will do the decoding so I can have surround within Windows and most games. Found out that it doesn't decode DTS so it did stereo only when using SPDIF. What I tried doing was PC -> TV via HDMI for video, PC -> Soundbar via optical using the ASUS Xonar SE soundcard SPDIF/Optical. PC -> TV via HDMI -> Soundbar -> only can do stereo sound Samsung MU8000 65 inch 4k 60Hz, HDMI 2.0 with regular ARC
Vizio S3651N-H6 5.1 surround soundbar (we'll get to that in a bit) Apparently it's still being sold as new and the packaging shows that it can decode DTS/Dolby so I should get games and windows in 5.1 surround with my equipment. The only PCIe card I could find that wasn't $100+ was the Creative Sound Blaster Z, the red one from like 10 years ago. I'm needing a soundcard that will do the decoding since Dolby Live and DTS Interactive are no longer easy to find, support, and are outdated and replaced by the Atmos software and DTS: X software. So I found out the hard way that not all sound cards do "decoding" for DTS/Dolby surround on PC which means that only content such as videos/movies that are encoded with DTS/Dolby will work just fine, but video games and Windows 10 itself will only report stereo. I had no idea how much of a headache surround sound is without getting an A/V receiver, let alone, getting surround sound on PC.
