[QUOTE="G.B. Wolf, post: 204252, member: 48355"] If your decoder has no DTS-support I'd appreciate any solution that offers this. I prefer a good mixed DTS everytime to regular DD. DTS sounds so much better in my eyes... eh... ears. :) I just check my card options and it offers integrated DTS-support. The complete options are: DD: Dynamic Range Setup (max, standard and night), Pro Logic (automatic, on, off) and DD EX (same) DTS: DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 mixup for 5.1 sound (automatic, on, off) My card identfies itself as an X-Fi Audio, but it's an X-Fi Music. The (old) card selling as "Audio" isn't a good thing (not a "real" X-Fi), but the new PCI-E-version seems to be a complete different card. At least it's not a low profile card anymore and the specs read different. I'm wondering about the issue that the "Music" isn't listed on Creative's website anymore. Only similar looking platine is the "Gamer Fatality"... very strange. A little bit confusing what Creative is doing there. It seems that they now completely dropped EAX5.0 and extended the OpenAL support due to the Vista problems. I read that part on their page so that they only mean that PowerDVD does support that, too, but not that you need it. Haven't tried that in any way, but the PCI-E card has optical in and out and therefore it shouldn't be a problem. Setting up the decoding is done easily in the setup. [/QUOTE]
