anybody say please how to enable spdif-in on Audigy without Live Drive?
where I can find ?

RIV@NVX

No. It is on live drive, and I really doubt that you can find it.
BTW, have you checked your card - maybe is on it (not sure). For what do you need it?

I have coaxial SPDIF-in and SPDIF-out connectors, I find on AUD_EXT 40pin connector on Audigy where SPDIF-in and SPDIF-out pins (Audigy have on AUD_EXT two SPDIF-in's and three SPDIF-out's).

but what I can say Mixer to see SPDIF-in?

setup enable SPDIF-in in Mixer only if detect Live Drive.


how say Mixer to see SPDIF-in?

AndreyPopov

I have ATI AIW 8500DV - ATI MMC not properly decode AC-3 audio (in Audio settings it can downmix to 2 channels or Dolby Surround, not Dolby Digital and can pass to ATI Rage Theatre SPDIF), ATI MMC not give clear AC-3 to Audigy only downmixed.


I try PowerDVD it can 5.1 decode and pass AC-3 to SPDIF.

I want solve problem with ATI MMC.
I want connect ATI Rage Theatre SPDIF to Audigy SPDIF-in, then Audigy correct decode AC-3 to 5.1 speakers (Creative DTT2200).


I try that it home, where I have Audigy Platinum with Live! Drive and Inspire 5700 speakers - I connect ATI Rage Theatre SPDIF to Audigy Live! Drive SPDIF-in, then Audigy Live! Drive SPDIF-out to Inspire 5700 main decoder coaxial in and see DolbyDigital light and true 5.1 audio.

go to the mixer and make sure that it is set to make all sound strictly digital... i'm not sure if that will work, but its worth a try.

That link to that add in thingy for SB cards was dead! so is the main website of tracertek! and I wanted one!

ERG!

AndreyPopov

no. I have 5.1 speakers (creative dtt2200) connected to GREEN, BLACK and ORANGE Audigy analog outs.

how or by which signal AudioHQ detect that Live! Drive connected and enable SPDIF-IN settings on itself and mixer?

RIV@NVX

No, it doesn't detect it. It uses it - if it isn't there, it just doesn't work.

I'm not sure in this. on same card if Live! Drive connected in Device COntrol in AudioHQ appear "SPDIF-in Settings", where I can choose in drop-down list:
1. Default
2. SPDIF-in bypass
3. AC-3 decode on SPDIF-in
(all other settings "Sampling Rate", "Decoder" and "Options" also present)
and SPDIF-in appear in Mixer.

if disconnect Live! Drive or not Power SPDIF-in disappear anywhere.

I think drivers detect Live! Drive and add to registry nessesary records, but which and where?

`jaw

I need to do the exact same thing and has no money for extra card....have a ps2 and whant to use my pc to decode a digital ac-3 to analoug connection to amplifier. so by reading this tread its not possible?

Heh, I don't know. But why would you want it if you don't have Live Drive?
