DAZ Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I just got the DD. I hooked it up just like everyone says,using the Radio Shack mini jack to rca cable. Here's the problem, I only get sound when watching a dvd. No other sound comes out of the computer at all. I called tech support today and stumped them. They are going to ask the engineers and get back to me. Also, I wanted to listen to dvd audio but that doesnt work either. Holy sh** have I tried all the software settings I could find. Kinda getting frustrated, it worked great before the dd box....sigh. Here's my setup.

LTech221 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 How do you have it connectd to your soundcard, and what mode is it on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAZ Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 Connected with spdif coax from the digital out on aud2. I have tried all the modes. Gotten all the updates...etc. I can now get stereo from computer and 5.1 from movies. I only got this thing so I could listen to audio dvd's and movies with dts. Neither works. It's not worth the trouble I am going through. Putting it in the closet tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTech221 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 I don't see why it doesnt work with DTS, so that may be a problem. But for DVD-A, I believe it disables the digital out for copy protection reasons, and only analog outputs can be used -hence your A2's analog outputs. Connecting digitally from the A2 will only give you 2 ch sound in your games, in order to get full 5.1 surround in gaming with teh A2 u need to hook your speakers up to the analog outputs of the A2. Digital will only pass through a DD/DTS Multi channel signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEliteOne Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Make sure u have everything set up correctly, both on software and hardware. And in reguards to "Not what I expected" and "It's gonna go in the closet", are u stupid? No offense, but if u heard what the DD-5.1 sounds like properly set up, u'd be amazed. It sounds clearer then the movie theater...it's just simply jaw-dropping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
