I currently have a Creative XFI Xtreme Music and I bought the DDL/DTS Pack for $5 but it doesn't work. I've tried everything from older drivers to changing the PCI slot that cards in (yes that's how desperate I am to get this working).
When I select DDL or DTS from the creative control panel I cant play anything, windows media player says the device is in use(this is the error code: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows7/C00D11B1). When having DDL decoding enabled and I play a game, the receiver shows a dolby digital signal coming through but I get no sound. I've tried every single possible combination of speaker settings to get DDL/DTS coming over SPDIF to my AV Receiver but no joy, the only way I can get DDL/DTS is to make my AV Receiver do the decoding. This is OK in movies but doesn't work well at all in games. For example in Warhammer Space Marines when someone is talking behind me it is barley audible through the back speakers, but when I use HDMI PCM from the 5850 on-board sound card its crystal clear.
I want the decent 5.1 Dolby sound from a sound card so I'm thinking of getting a Asus Xonar DX 7.1 which has built in DDL and DTS decoding. Will this do what I want?
