Is there any such thing as a software DTS decoder?

I could get a hardware decoder for my Klipsch Promedia 5.1s, but it would cost $70.
 
Yeah I think there are DTS codecs. Don't know any off hand, but there should be. Can't your soundcard do DTS decoding?
 
I have the same speakers as you and they don't like any decoder except the one that klipsch sells :( sorry
 
I have an Audigy 2, but I can't get it to output anything but really loud static when I play DTS files.
 
same with my SB live 5.1 with ac3 DD decoder and my Nforce 2 soundstorm also with a DD decoder built on speakers just don't like it. I think that 70 dallor part takes the anolog inputs from the speakers and converts it into a spidif connection for DTS but im not sure
 
That sounds useless. Do the speakers have analogue input? Use those.

sounds useless maybe but spidif is 1 cord and is digital so it has better sound.

You're right of course, but if you have a converter with an analogue side it doesn't really matter if you ask me. 3 analogue cables can be put together anyway (taped, striped, cable hose).
 
yah I know but the sound quality is better for digital
 
it's not if you are taking it from a analogue source, you're right, the quality is better if it never goes trough a DAC, but if the converter takes Analogue from the PC, and converts it to a SPDIF, it's going through a DAC, then ADC, then another DAC. That's lossy, and if anything, it's worse quality than the Analogue connections would be.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
