Playing Dolby & DTS Music Files

by vkvedam - 10/7/06 12:10 PM

Hi All,
Well I don't want you to waste your time in reading.
Straight to the point. I have downloaded few Dolby (448&640kbps) and DTS music files from NRK's website.
I have got a creative soundblaster 5.1 live internal sound card (With an optical out). I have even got a Creative portable DD/DTS decoder for headphones with Dolby Headphone and Prologic II. Can anyone suggest me how to play them. I have tried playing them through PowerDVD 6.0 and all I can hear is some rattling noise. Even when I played through my decoder, all I can hear is the rattling noise. The downloaded files are in 'wav' format.
Any clues or suggestions please.....
Thanks,
Kousik.

winamp
windows media player

and quicktime ?

its hard to tell whats causing the rattling noise, try burning several files to DVD or CD and playing thru the dvd player if u dont mind wasting a few discs

ok here this explains some things

as i quessed before u DO have to bur nthe files to CD or DVD

but i streamed several files successfully straight from their site to my recevier without burning anything

strangely enough my receiver did not recognize the stream as DD or DTS which it should and decode it as such a surround mode,

its late at night and i cant listen at any reasonable volume level but here is the link IN ENGLISH to that NRk help page

i will play around with this tomorro when i have the chance but this seems really cool

Streaming

Well I think streaming doesn't get you the actual
Dolby or DTS signal, I would imagine.
Anyways I am just checking the NRK's English thing now because even I don't have a clue over Norweigan Language.

You have to burn the cd's to a cd-r via easy cd-da recorder, "or any other" who supports "redbook" format, this turns the wav files for the format which your dvd player recognizes.

Put it into your hometheatre dvd player, and listen to it
