Hey all.
I have several 720p movies that I have ripped myself and are encoded with a Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack, but I can't for the life of me get them to play back in 5.1 with my HDA X-Mystique Dolby Digital Live card and my external decoder & speakers.
The only output I get is effectively stereo when DDL is enabled, which the card upmixes to 5.1 and outputs through all the speakers. It sounds pretty good, but its not proper DD 5.1, theres no seperation between channels, dialogue, music and effects come from all speakers at the same time, it is just stereo.
I have disabled DDL, only to get no sound (as i'm using an optical cable to connect my amp so I have no analogue connections), and the only other option is 2 channel PCM audio over the digital link which obviously only gives me stereo.
Do I need some kind of software filter to get the DD bitstream?
Any help appreciated, thanks.
