Hi,
Just to set context:
I have a Sound Blaster Titanium Fatality Pro - which worked perfectly with Media Centre 17 - Zone 1 outputted to my Line 1 thru ASIO, Zone 2 outputted using WASAPI - Event Mode through an optical SPDIF output.
Stupidly, I installed hacked PAX drivers - which somehow changed the identification of my sound card - so it is reporting to MC 17 that my card cannot bitstream DD or DTS 5.1
I can't even install the official Creative drivers anymore to fix this, but that is another story
Now when I goto Zone 2 and set - Playback Options/Video/Bitstreaming and select SPDIF - once I play a file that requires bitstreaming, the below occurs
MC 17 automatically changes the Bitstreaming option to "None" - and automatically flicks on the "Output Format" option in DSP studio - using the following settings
Output Channels - "2"
Bit Depth - "24"
Mixing - "JRSS Surround Sound 2.0 (recommended)
I've never used these options before, so what is MC 17 using to make these choices? Is there anyway I can bypass this "check" and have it bitstream DD/DTS as per normal?
MC 17 used to just playback via SPDIF with no issues - prior to this driver being installed.
I tested my card with Media Player Classic - and this is still bitstreaming DD/DTS perfectly...but obviously I much prefer MC17
Please help if you can, I really love the software - it appears there is a check MC17 does on the card that Media Player Classic doesn't, causing me issues
