So:ĭD/DTS - Optical - PC/Decoder - Analogue 5.1 RCA or 3,5 mm - Amp - Speakers. Then into my analogue 5.1 input on my amp, and onto my speakers. Decode the signal, and get the surround outputted via preferably RCA connectors, but 3,5 mm jacks would also work. Into either some dedicated decoder, or into an optical input on my PC. Not sure here if I need PCM, or only AC3? This over an optical cable.
I want to take a digital surround audio stream, either Dolby Digital or DTS (needs to support both, and work with the newer HD-formats) from for example an Xbox or TV-box. I'm also good at my PC-stuff, been building my own for many years, and am just as interested in that.Īnyhow, firstly, what I'm trying to do, and I can explain why I want to do this in just this way later: That would also be strange in this case, since I've been into HiFi and home-cinema audio for over ten years, and like the technical side of it. Either it seems I'm trying to do something that no-one else in the world has ever wanted to do before, which would be pretty weird, considering what it is, or the answer must be so obviously simple that I'm completely missing something. dts file.Ĭ:\Downloads\wav2dts>wav2dts.exe Original.wavĭon't found any valid dts header in first 99998 bytes.Ĭ:\Downloads\wav2dts>wav2dts.exe Converted.I've been searching the internets for answers to my questions for some time now, but all my findings have been very inconclusive. Wav2dts, for dtswav->dts conversion, fails on your (Original) file as well, but works fine on your (Converted) dtswav file, creating a playable. > Created from "C:\Downloads\WAV Samples\01 - No Friend of Mine (Original).wav" => C:\Downloads\WAV Samples\01 - No Friend of Mine (Original).fixed.wav Here is the 'fixed' dtswav file that Audiomuxer creates But FWIW, it doesn't work on your file (it generates another '2ch' file, this time one that even foobar can't play) It will save the new file somehwereĥ) open and play the new file in Musicbee.Īudiomuxer has a tool to fix 'corrupted' dtsWAV files that are being p layed erroneously as 2 channel PCM. If you have NOT really created a separate 2.0 wav file, I suggest you do thisġ) open the original 5.1 file in foobar (with foo_input_dts active)Ģ) select the track and choose 'Convert' from dropdownģ) choose 'wav' as the output format, and under 'Processing', select 'downmix channels to stereo'Ĥ) click 'Convert'. A 2 channel PCM wav file should play in Musicbee with no problem. Otherwise you are only hearing the front Left and Right channels of a 6-channel mix.īut you also wrote about having already created a 2.0 WAV file from the 5.1 file, which is confusing, because if that is true, *just play that file* in Musicbee. So if 5.1 output as 2.0 already 'works' for you in foobar, using foo_input_dts, then you must also be using foobar's downmixing DSP to fold down the 5.1 PCM to 2.0. If I play the WAV DTS 5.1 in Foobar it works, if I play it in MusicBee I get only static noise.įoo_input_dts will cause a 5.1 DTS file to be decoded into 5.1 PCM before output. I don't have a 6 channel sound system at the moment, just stereo. NB if it fails you might also try renaming the files from xxx.wav to xxx.dts, or convert them to xxx.flac as mentioned above. If it's setup correctly your AVR should recognize the input signal as some flavor of 'DTS', and it should not sound like white noise. So try that, making sure you also select the appropriate output port (i.e. The connection can be either S/PDIF or HDMI.įrom what I can tell, Musicbee offers WASAPI output as a native option. For this, you do NOT want a Musicbee plugin that decodes DTS, you want a plugin or setting that allows bit-perfect streaming of data (e.g. For that, you need either a connection that supports 6 channel PCM (HDMI can do it, optical/coax S/PDIF CANNOT), or a soundcard that offers 6 analog out to a receiver that has 6 analog inĢ) output the 'raw' DTS to the receiver, and let the receiver decode it. (I don't know why you kept writing about 'stereo' and 2.0 conversion in that case, but ,whatever)ġ) decode the DTS to 6channel PCM in your computer (using a plugin similar to foo_input_dts) and send the output to your connected playback system. You want to output a 5.1 file as 5.1 audio. The goal is to play WAV DTS without conversion. What I need is a plugin like this for MusicBee as this is my player of choice now. With this plugin Foobar can play WAV DTS 5.1 Foobar for example has this plugin : foo_input_dts.dll
