Hello all,
I've been watching a couple of high definition movie files (720p and 1080) on my pc, and while the picture is fantastic, the audio is pretty rubbish for what I'd expect! It comes all tinny and muffled and sounds nothing like digital sound should. I'm wondering if it's a problem with either my soundcard or the vista x86 drivers I'm using for my Audigy 2 ZS (my soundcard). All the files seem to use use DTS audio. Drivers for the card are "SBAX_PCDVTBETA_US_2_12_0001. Oh, and I'm using windows media player to play the files. Hmmm... might also be the speakers which are creative 7.1 speakers?
If anyone could shed light on the issue or please give me some advice, that'd be brilliant. Thanks!
EDIT: Right... since I've still got XP installed on my system I tried running the files through that and it turns out it's perfect. No problems. Display's a bitter better too. From my googling I've figured out that it's a problem with Creative's drivers. The vista drivers are complete junk and don't support digital sound yet. Doh. Isn't this all kind of ironic that I'm going to have to watch movie files in XP and not vista, which is billed as the new place for entertainment? Crazy.
