X-FI, 5.1 and DTS?

All i ask for it to try to use the Hardware Decoder, i know its not needed but... i still wanna use it.
 
well it would have been solved long time ago if people did not keep going on about how pointless it is and just help, its mot your problem if its pointless is it?

Now i was asking how to get rid of the InterVideo Audio Decoder and Inter Video Win DVD 7 because i dont like it, i was other software installed, i will use a Software decoder with other software if that makes you feel better, but i want this InterVideo Audio Decoder and InterVideo Win DVD 7 to be removed, i still would like to know how to use the Hardware Decoder tho if i ever wanted it.
 
In my InterVideo Audio Decoder Properties it says use SPDIF, does that mean hardware, and use 5.1 means software?
 
so if my speakers did not have a decoder, and i had it on SPDIF, i would hear no sound? I thought for the Z5500's to decode DTS and DD5.1 they had to be set to DD5.1 or DTS and had to be set to Optical or Coax?
 
I think thats whats happening becouse i am sure the Z5500 cant Decode DD5.1 and DTS when in Direct and 6ch Direct.

So is there no way to use the built in Hardware decoder in the X-FI?, and how do i? (Just Wondering)
 
Ok, maybe someone else might.

with software decoding of 5.1 and DTS, and the X-fi and the Z5500, whcih one would be the best, or would they be the same? is there any advantages of using the decoder in the Z5500?
 
Aint Dolby Digital EX just as good as live? i thought the X-FI had live? omg, i was going to get the HDA explosion before, have i made a big mistake getting the X-FI over the X-Plosion?

Also in the X-FI control panel i have Digital I/O thing, there is a drop down menu called SPDIF Input Settings, it has: Defaulty, SPDIF BYPASS and Dolby Digital/DTS SPDIF-In Decode, what are these setting, are they for hardware decoding?

so Analoug is crap? i aint going to be using a software decoder for games no way especially since some games have special stuff for the X-FI, if i use software decoder for games, then i might aswell just get rid of the X-FI, it seems like i might aswell get rid of the X-FI and buy an Audigy 2 Platinum or somthing, but then i wont be able to do some stuff in the future despite what people tell me :\.

Aint the X-FI Fatal1ty the games edition? if that true, what would be point of using software decoders :\, what the hell is the X-FI Fatal1ty for if its all i am going to do is use software decoding :confused:

Seems like the X-FI does nothing :\, might aswell put it up on ebay as it seems ot be a useless piece of crap if i cant do anything with it :rolleyes:
 
Free Haadphones lol, maybe not good headphones, but better than my old set, also i use the front I/O panel, well will when i get a propor headphone jack, i cant be botherd taking a speaker cable out just for darn headphones, also the 64mb xram, yea i know it doesent do anything, but thats at the moment, creative is preety popular, hopefully games will start taking advantage of the Xram.

Now i know it sound stupid, but what actually do i take advantage of in the X-FI, do i actually use anything? i dont even know if i got the thing set up properly in the control panel, would be good is someone could do remote desktop or some sort of computer takeover thing with somthing through Tight VNC to show me.
 
ah i see, so when i select Enable SPDIF Output in the Entertainment Center Settings, and then on the control center change it to use an external decoder, i am not hearing any sound becouse it aint been decoded? and if i linked coax to the X-FI from the Z5500, and then select Enable SPDIF output and click on external decoder it would decode in the Z5500?
So its using the hardware decoder all along.


Anyway got a slight problem when using the creative entertainment center (the thing that comes up when i press power on the remote) i put in any dvd, and a lot of the time its like the FPS is low, and if your in a large area on the movie, i kind of lags :s and does a lot of the time :confused:
