brock01 Posted May 10, 2006 CID Share Posted May 10, 2006 i need help understanding something, i got Diamond XtremeSound XS71DDL Sound Card - Retail at Newegg.com I have it hooked up with an optical cord to my 5.1 receiver and when i play a dts file on the comp, i hear the same noise i heard with the onboard sound card, the scrachy stuff how can i make it not do that i have seen the receiver play dts before when hooked up to the comp i am using foobar2000 0.8.3 and have the dts plugin normally everything is in Dolby Digital 5.1 cause the sound card is DDL but i have seen it in DTS when playin a dvd from the comp, plays dts perfectly fine from dvd player thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted May 10, 2006 CID Share Posted May 10, 2006 Maybe the file has scratchy sounds in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlewis23 Posted May 10, 2006 CID Share Posted May 10, 2006 are you sure that the optical cable has real good contact on both the sound card, and reciver, and that there are now power cords running over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock01 Posted May 10, 2006 Author CID Share Posted May 10, 2006 ya, but that would have anything to do with it in this case, ive seen it play dts before everyone works cept the DTS part which has worked, but i cant play dts files from the comp which i wanna be able to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno Posted May 10, 2006 CID Share Posted May 10, 2006 Stick a DTS dvd in and it will work. The file that is DTS is saved as a .wav I am guessing. I did a lot of looking into it and don't see why it doesn't play the .wav right, there might be a codec that will play it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
