Auzentech Prelude Discussion Thread

Actually I would prefer DTS encoding or I think its called DTS Interactive. In my opinion that should be better than DDL. I am not even sure why there are 2 different realtime encoding technologies but its there.

I think DTS-C is supported, I think its DTS-EX that is not which is 7.1

 

When referring to the encoding technology, such as saying Dolby Digital Live, It is DTS-C or DTS Connect. There are other included features such as DTS-Interactive and DTS:NEO PC. -Which are parts of DTS-Connect...

To elaborate further, DTS-Connect is a real time encoder technology package which is PC system based only. DTS-Interactive is a stream encoder and is part of the DTS-Connect package but can be found on various devices and systems such as AV players and IIRC some Playstation2 media. Both DDL and DTS-C are great for getting 5.1 over a digital connection but many will tell you they prefer DTS-C over DDL as it sounds better and is a better encoding technology. DTS:NEO PC is a upmix technology which upmixes 2.0 or above to 5.1 audio.
So in Dolby Digital Live you get Dolby Prologic IIX which upmixes stereo or above streams to 5.1 and in the DTS-Connect technology we Get DTS:Neo PC. Hope this helps.

 

Has anyone news regarding the release date for the HDMI extension. It was scheduled for the beginning of June, but still no sign. Beginning to think about switching to Asus for HDMI sound. :banana:

 

Dude, which Asus soundcard are you talking about? :3eyes:

Well, My current position in the industry affords me great insider information. Such as Auzentech is has been working on a HDMI 1.3 Combo card using Native PCI express and NON Down-Sampling HDMI 1.3 output.

 

Answer from Auzen:

The schedule has been changed. Press Release will be available at the end of this month. We apologize for this delay.

What does "press release" mean? The actual product or only an official annoucement?

 

Official announcement and ETA to release sometimes.

 

I am going to try and reinstall this card again for the 3rd time and see if I still get mic corruption and channel swapping.

Last time I setup the card I did both the control panel setup and the setup through the software on Vista x64.

 

@LedHed, can you get this card tested on another machine? This may help isolate the trouble.

 

On Monday I could, but not until then.

I'll post back with results of new install later today.

 

it seems auzentech is planning on to put up the new drivers after there finnish up the final touches to there new downloader for the drivers. bythe end of the day. There gunning for tonight.

Lets hope they make it to that deadline.

"Auzentech is putting the fnal touches on an enhanced download system that will include a new X-Fi Prelude driver. Projected launch is the end of the day Wednesday, June 11 (USA Pacific time).

Will this have the DTS stuff? I don't see a date mentioned on their page now for it...

 

LOL, they now have changed the release date to "the early morning hours of Thursday, June 12". these guys are hilarious.
