Kain Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 While watching a movie, if I go to the setup and look at the information on the DVD being played (such as bitrate, etc.) the LFE is always set as off. Why is this? How can I turn it on? I have tried using DVD Genie but it has no effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted December 28, 2002 Author Share Posted December 28, 2002 Secondly, how do I get DTS on my computer? My computer specs are nothing great, but it does its job well. I'll probably upgrade after I have my home theater up and running. Here are the specs: AMD Thunderbird 1.0GHz@1.0GHz AOpen AK73 Pro -VIA KT133 chipset- 2x 128MB Mushkin High Performance REV3 222 IBM Deskstar 75GXP 30GB -7200RPM, Ultra ATA/100- AOpen DVD-1640 Pro -16X DVD/40X CD- ATI Radeon 64MB DDR VIVO -retail version- (ATI Catalyst 02.5 driver) Hercules Game Theater XP Samsung SyncMaster 900IFT CSW DeskTop Theater 5.1 DTT3500 Digital Windows Me My question, how do I get DTS sound for DVDs? When I play a DVD with DTS, I get no sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean_RESG Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 I wouldn't bother with windvd 4 its junk. I dunno what they've done but I've never been able to get proper surround with it. I've tried using my Audigy 1 , 2 and my GTXP. All say that they're 5.1 cards but when I go to play a movie I only hear audio out of the front left and right channels. Try PowerDVD XP. It works perfect; Does DD5.1, DTS, DDEX and DTS ES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted December 28, 2002 Author Share Posted December 28, 2002 Well, my surrounds work "perfectly" with WinDVD 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted December 28, 2002 Author Share Posted December 28, 2002 But how do I get DTS?? Even in PowerDVD when I play a DTS DVD I get no sound. Could it be my speakers?? I think their amplifier can only play Dolby Digital?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean_RESG Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 how are you playing them? Do you have the speakers plugged directly into the GTXP or are you using an external decoder? Also I know that windvd won't decode dts unless you have the plus version. Or the platinum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted December 29, 2002 Author Share Posted December 29, 2002 My speakers aren't powered so I need to plug them into their own amplifier. And their own amplifier only decodes Dolby Digital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
