I search whole internet from time to time for a answer to my problem and unfortunatly can't find it. Hope someone could finally help me. If you have same/similar software/hardware as me and found a way to hear ac3 divx/xvid .avi files the way they are supossed to be heard then please help me and tell me exactly how you did it.
First what i have:
- SB Audigy with drivers for Audigy2 (works great, better sound etc. tutorial on this can be found here: http://www.tech-pc.co.uk/audigy-1.php)
- Creative DesktopTheater 5.1 DTT2200 speakers (without hardware DD decoder)
- Windows XP Professional SP1
- I have installed only XviD codec, DivX audio codec, OGG DirectShow filters, ffdshow and ac3filter0_70b. For watching movies i use only Windows Media Player 6.4.
All seems fine (every film is working, i hear surround sound etc.) but it doesn't sound same as i heard on my friends 5.1 speakers with DD decoder (i dont know what card/settings he was using) My surround (rear) speakers are very quiet etc. I don't know how to express it but it sounds different from what i heard at friends house. At ac3filter i use these settings : 3/2+SW 5.1 channels, sample format PCM 24bit. If i set SPDIF and let the card decode ac3 it sounds same i think and video sometimes slows down.
What to do to make it sound perfectly? Should i use directshow/waveout? install/deinstall some filters (eg. morgan..) change some settings/apply fixes i dont know about? Use some other players?
Any help is welcomed
Please don't write that i should use other sound card or speakers but try to figure out what to do to make it work on this hardware
PS. Could you give me a link to some test ac3 .avi files (and if there's a way of playing vob files thru WMP without installing WinDVD or such then a link to test ac3 .vob files too)
Thanks for reading and any comments
