Micah Posted March 13, 2001 Share Posted March 13, 2001 I have the Klipsch Pro V2.400s with the updated pre-amp. When I'm watchind DVDs, the music and sound effects are great, but speech is almost silent. I am playing the DVDs with ASUS DVD2000, which as far as I can tell is a derivative of PowerDVD 2.55 Does anyone else have this problem? If I just turn the volume up, the hissing gets to be unbearable. Oh yeah, my soundcard is a sound blaster live x-gamer (just like the original sound blaster live). Also, what are the best audio settings? Here are my choices: I) Use DirectSound 1) A3D 2) DirectSound 3D 3) Dolby Surround 4) Stereo II) Use WaveOut 1) Dolby Surround 2) Stereo I would think that DirectSound 3D would be the best, but I want to make sure. Heck, I would use any of them if I could get the dialogue to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie Jean Posted March 15, 2001 Share Posted March 15, 2001 Maybe your DVD prog is set to 6 speaker surround. If your prog thinks there's a center channel and there's not, then you won't get much dialog and other sounds that are supposed to come from the screen.

rol1 Posted March 15, 2001 Share Posted March 15, 2001 Some of the software that comes for free are limited. You may have to upgrade to Win-DVD or Power-DVD toget the surround and mixdown features. Some of the limited software expects you to use a decoder card's s/pdif to you ht. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted March 17, 2001 Author Share Posted March 17, 2001 I thought it would probably be the 6 channel thing with me missing a center channel. I can't seem to find anywhere in the settings to set it up, though. The only audio options that I can find are the ones I listed. Is there a way I could upgrade ASUS DVD2000 to PowerDVD 3.0? That might fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rol1 Posted March 17, 2001 Share Posted March 17, 2001 The full versions of Win-DVD or Power-DVD will do the AC3 decoding and 4ch mix down. Even the software with my AWI Radeon only has s/pdif pass-thru or stereo mixdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
