hardnrg Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 sdy is talking about stereo upmix to 5.1, which no one else is talking about... Pete is talking about multichannel sources (other than pre-encoded movie tracks) being converted to Dolby encoded tracks on the fly only Dolby encoded multichannel audio can go down the S/PDIF connections, if it's not encoded as a Dolby stream, then you only get the main stereo output so yes Uber, you are correct, only pre-encoded Dolby audio tracks will work on a Creative card for sending multichannel sound over a digital interlink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardnrg Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 the upcoming Auzentech Prelude (X-Fi processor, Dolby Live encoding, high quality DACs & OpAmps) will be the best quality gaming card available Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammin Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 There is still no price announcement on that yet though. I'm expecting it to be expensive. As long as it comes in at a price that is similar or under that of the top end Creative X-Fi's it should be popular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
