Thanks for the link to the AC3Filter & SPDIF article - quite interesting. And I can play stereo music fine, so 44.1 kHz is definitely supported. I can also run the test using either 44.1 or 48 kHz and also get correct (stereo) sounds from the receiver, via the Toslink connection. As mentioned at the start, I can click on the Windows 'Test' buttons and get correct DTS and DD playback through the external receiver. Yes, everything is correctly selected in the Windows Control Panel/Sounds settings. I'm no expert on this, but the filter chain seems to be doing a lot more than just passing the PCM through to the S/PDIF port. Use AC3 encoder (do not encode stereo PCM)

(PS: WinAmp is my preferred player, so if all that's required is some special player setup, this is the one I'd prefer to have settings for.)Īh, that explains the different behaviour - you're relying on software decoding of the DTS whereas I'm looking for pass-through, which for some unknown reason isn't happening. I've checked that the volumes (system, driver, player) are all set at 100%.Ĭould this inability to play DTS music be related to the K-Lite codecs, or am I in the wrong forum? Any help would be greatly appreciated. This usually occurs when the DTS-encoded signal is being corrupted by some process, most commonly a volume control not at 100%.

As an aside, if I connect the sound-card to the external surround receiver via analogue cables (and change the system and driver sound settings to analogue), all I get for DTS tracks is white noise from the speakers. I've checked and double-checked the Xonar D2X Audio Center setup, and experimented with every possible setting in there, but still can't get DTS pass-through to work.

However, if I play a DVD through PowerDVD 10, and select the DTS soundtrack, it plays correctly through the external receiver, which displays 'DTS', as it should! So PowerDVD 10 is doing something that my audio players are failing to do, and I'm completely at a loss to know how to fix it. If I play a stereo FLAC track through the same setup, it plays correctly. This tells me that the hardware is all working correctly.īut if I now run WinAmp (or Spider, or VLC, or Media Player Classic, or Windows Media Player ) and try to play a DTS-FLAC file (that played correctly on my old PC), all I get is silence - not even the usual white noise, and certainly no 'DTS' indication on the external receiver. If I go into Windows Control Panel/Sound and select the Asus Digital Output (which is set as default device), and then click Properties/Supported formats, I have both DTS and DD selected, and when I hit the button (for either mode) the external receiver switches to the corresponding mode (DTS or DD) and correctly plays the test sounds through each of my four speakers. The sound-cards I've tried are the Diamond XtremeSound PCI-e XS71HD and the Asus Xonar D2X/XDT/A PCI-e (this is the one currently installed). Today I updated to K-Lite 12.1.5 then to 12.1.8, and tested again. But when I replaced that PC with a new one running Windows 7 Pro/64-bit, with a different sound-card (I've tried two), I can no longer get those same DTS-FLAC files to play through the same receiver (also via Toslink).

On my previous PC, running Windows 2000 Pro and with a particular sound-card having DTS pass-through capability, I was able to play (via a Toslink/digital-optical connection to an external surround receiver) DTS-encoded FLAC music files, using a variety of player software (Spider, WinAmp, etc). I'm not even sure if this is connected with the K-Lite pack or something else, but hopefully someone here will tell me to get lost if it's nothing to do with K-Lite! -)

I've been using the K-Lite codec pack for years, but was encouraged (by the welcome web page) after the latest update to post about a problem I have.
