Decoders in device controls

Derko · Jan 23, 2005, 01:01 PM

I have an Audigy 1 and I did the softmod and am using the Audigy 2ZS drivers. Just until now I just noticed that when I go to Device Control options that under decoder I only have "Dolby Digital"... is that how it's supposed to be? I remember having a good 3 or so options before. I had Dolby Digital -EX, Prologic 2 and something else... is there anything wrong with my installation?

Can anyone at least tell me which decoders I should have there... what you people have there? IMO it's not a hard question...

ok, afaik Prologic isn't a decoder, more of an upmix/encoder - which is pretty much covered by CMSS

Here's mine:

Like dj_stick said, prologic is an upmixer. Most new cars use prologic 2 now, IIRC.

i wonder if that prologic setting is to upmix stereo DVD sound

I don't think so, I've always had it enabled, and I always listen to stereo things in stereo, most upmixing sounds lame to me.

Ok see this is what mine looks like... why does it look like this? I want to know how I can get everything else back... cause I have no options for anything under there... while I am sure I'm supposed to. Could it be because I messed up in the installation or something?

i think because you have a 5.1 card, the Audigy, you can only use a 5.1 decoder. The DTS - ES IIRC is either 6.1 or 7.1
