The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Very confused about Dolby

Asked by pcsentinel in General Multi-Media Software, Audio Editing

Tags: dolby, decoder

Ok heres the story.

I am building myself a multimedia PC. I'v got an NVIDIA 7800 GTX with VIVO an ASUS Motherboard with the nForce4 Chipset with 5.1 or 7.1 out. NVIDIA Paltinum DVD Decoder software.

Got it all installed but then I started to discover a problem, I wanted to use my exisitng speakers from my Philips 5.1 DVD player which are good quality, but I couldn't find an external 6 channel amplifier that would allow me to use the Motherboards 5.1 ouput. So I thought instead of using the 5.1 output I would simply continue to use the DVD Player/Decoder to do the decoding. So I connected the Line Out to the Audio in on the DVD Player.

I ran a test using a Dolby Test VOB. Firstly I copied the VOB to a CD and put it in my Philips DVD player and got distinct output from all 6 speakers.

I then played the VOB on the PC and am getting both Front and Rear Left playing at the same time, Fornt & rear right playing at the same time, and center & subwoofer comes from all 6 speakers. But I'm not sure if its because the VOB is being read wrongly on the computer.

My first question is how do I make the output send unchanged audio data from the PC DVD to the external decoder.

My second question is I have hooked up my Sky Set Top Box to the Audio In of the motherboard. Again how can I be sure that unadulterated audio is getting fed though to the Line Out to be decoded by the external receiver?


Sorry if it seems a bit long winded, but to make matters worse I also tried a SB Live 24 card but had similar problems


thanks in advance
