|   Passing Dolby 5.1 signals from Guillemot ISIS PC soundcard | kwake
Mar 23, 2001 5:33 AM | | Hi all, I was wondering if anyone is running this config in their Home Theatre systems. I am trying to get my Guillemot Maxisound ISIS sound card to pass raw Dolby Digital 5.1 signals via Optical output cable into my Sony Dolby Digital Receiver.
Up until now, all I get is a Stereo PCM signal, and Guillemot keep saying it should work, but cannot tell me how.
I'm using PowerDVD 3.0 and WinDVD DTS edition.
Thanks for any info you can provide.
Regards,

You should have a place to test your speakers. Set it to 5.1. Next go the the screen that lets you select output via SPIDF and check there. Then put in a DVD and when the Power DVD opens, go to the options screen and select the 5 speaker option I believe (I will go home and check out the exact selections if you are still having problems). Then go to the DVD menu and select 5.1 or DTS and you should see the blue light on your reciever.
If you have a TV that has component video inputs, there is a converter that plugs in where your monitor should be and you can plug in your TV instead. This makes your computer a Progressive scan DVD player and your TV a monitor. |
