ac-3 output in sp2

[qmac]

for those of you running sp2
are you able to get ac-3 output thru digital sound card?
thanks

are you talking about the SPDIF output? in order to do that you must have a decoder, the only decoder that I know of is Midiland ADS 2000 and that's use for 5.1 with Creative Labs speakers.

 

[TatSteeL]

unless you have it internal decoder in your soundcard.

yeah i have a decoder
but currently win2k doesn't do ac-3 output

and i hate having to dual boot 98se
supposedly sp2 was supposed to be able to do ac-3 output

thanks

There is an unofficial patch to enable AC3 in Win2K... check out ALive for more details.
