5.1 in CT4832?

Dan Hibiki · Feb 18, 2005, 07:08 PM

can i get 5.1 sound from dvd's or other ac3 encoded source in this SBLive? i mean, using the digital out and a receiver capable of decoding ac3 (or dts), i will have full surround sound?

or can i send the center/sub signal to the output of my onboard sound and get analog 5.1? is there any software that can do this? or maybe some trick on the dsp? would it be possible?

thanks in advance! and sorry for my bad english...

this is a live 4.0 model?
if so you'll need to a second soundcard with SPDIF input

Dan Hibiki · Feb 19, 2005, 04:09 AM

yes, it is a 4.0 model

it will not work if i plug the digital out into a digital receiver capable of ac3/dts decoding?

how does i need to setup both cards to work then?

by sending the last two channels to a second card to convert to analog

hmmm, there is no software capable of doing this through some driver trick or something like that?

and don't you know if this will work?

no
the card is 4.0
thge spdif output is 2.0

ok, thanks...

one last question then:
the "toggle ac-3 passthrough mode" and/or those ac3 passthrough plugins on the dsp have no use on the live 4.0?

**dj_stick** · Feb 21, 2005, 06:54 AM

passthrough doesn't quite work on 10k1 boards yet

Dan Hibiki · Feb 23, 2005, 12:26 AM

so it is a driver-related problem? can i expect to see this feature on a near future?

**dj_stick** · Feb 23, 2005, 01:34 AM

yes its driver related. No release date
