tpg Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 I got a PS2 for Christmas... hooked it up to my Onkyo TX-SR500, got lovely DTS in Vice City, but in any other game with Dolby Surround option checked, I get no surround sound. My receiver only says All Channel Stereo. Anyone know a solution? Although it sounds strange, could it be because I have no memory card? I can't get it to work, and it is frustrating... I wanted PS2 for its surround sound... now I get none? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought grand torismo 3 A-Spec, and I am in awe. the graphic looks soooo good. altho, no surround sound. try using prologic II mode while playing those "dolby surround" games.

tpg Posted December 27, 2002 Author Share Posted December 27, 2002 Yes... this just came to me- Dolby Surround and PL are the same. I missed this how? Oh well... I am certainly NOT a fan of PL, though I have PLII which is almost not as bad, yet it is... but oh well. I will have to live with it until they make more games like Vice City in DTS/DD.

GooseChaser Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 I thought only Xbox has on-board encoder chip that allows dolby digital 5.1 sound in gameplay. if not, great but PS2 is not much for FPS anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 The PlayStation 2 does not do Dolby Digital or DTS during gameplay. Only Xbox does Dolby Digital during gameplay (but not DTS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpg Posted January 14, 2003 Author Share Posted January 14, 2003 I do realize this... PLII sounds ok... Actually, Kain, Vice City is in DTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M6 Driver Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 PS2 SSX TRICKY plays in DTS as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblue Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 Kain, the XBOX is capable of DTS also, it has a setting for it in the dashboard. Problem is, no developers have taken advantage of it yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
