What player are you using for your laptop?
-
Sir window media player lang po,
-
Try to update your player with the latest codecs. Or better yet try another media player like Splash Pro or MPC-HC assuming that you have already configured the audio settings in the control panel to output DD/DTS via HDMI.
-
^+1 WMP is limited in terms of codecs especially downloaded files. I encountered the same problem before when I tried using my netbook as media player. But once you get it right, it becomes a very versatile player especially if it comes with a remote.

:DThank you sir :D

Try to use XMBC sir... Then set the audio settings to HDMI. I'm using my HD 4850 (DVI-HDMI adapter). It can decode DTS and Dolby formats.

hindi ba redundant na kung gagamit ka pa ng USB DAC kung 809 AVR naman ang gamit? just saying kasi may built-in DAC na yung 809 when using digital inputs (optical, hdmi & coaxial). eto yung DAC niya TI Burr-Brown 192 kHz/24-Bit DACs (PCM1690) for All Channels

Actually halos lahat naman nang source may DAC...DVD, CD, NMT, Laptop and mga AVR's. Yung quality kasi will depend on how good the DAC is, specially in Music... Like in my Case, yung yamaha ko meron ding DAC na capable of 24/192 but i still use an external DAC for music applilcation, simply because in my Ears mas gumada sa 2 channel music when using an external DAC vs using the DAC of the AVR...
-
that burr brown PCM1690 is, IMO, already a top notch chip. so unless you're going to use a really high end dedicated external DAC i'd say just use the AVR as it is. but if i were to feed it to an analog stereo amp, then that would be a different story ;D
but ofcourse kung saan ka mas enjoy yun naman ang importante. right now kasi, mas praktikal na lang ako sa buhay ;)

The DAC chip is only a small fraction of the equation when selecting a DAC. The same chip in different DAC implementations will perform very differently.
Though I do agree na check muna if the onboard one is good enough for the person's needs. Tutal libre na yun eh. If ever bibili ng iba, subukan muna if it'd make an improvement sa target system.
-
or TS can invite PDVD peeps over to his place and bring their external DACs para ma test niya sa system niya ;)
may audio session ka na may new friends ka pa in the process ;D

Mga sir,
Does anyone here use or know how to use their laptops as htpc for 3D movie?
I'm thinking if I can go this way as I plan my projector setup.
Thanks

Look for the Acer Projector thread. Most of them used HTPC for 3D viewing.

This is very doable with the right computer and software.

Use powerdvd for the 3D bluray viewing. ^-^ ^-^ ^-^

Pwede po ba 3D movie pero hindi 3D yung tv?

Mga sir. Question lang po since I plan to buy a new entry level lang na home theater setup. Tanong ko lang po eh kung kakayanin ba ng laptop ko na maging HTPC set? Gamit ko eh installed CCCP codec with the mediaplayer na kasam niya. HDMI gamit ko sa laptop. Asus L43SJ laptop.
http://ph.asus.com/Notebooks/Versatile_Performance/K43SJ/
Just need to know kung yung audio ng mga movies ko will pass through and be recognized by the a/v reciever? Sayang naman tong mga 1080p movies ko kung eh lalabas lang eh puro stereo lang.
I am thinking of actually bringing my laptop over to the place I plan to check up on some receivers. Pero I thought to ask muna here.

That notebook should work.

I guess medyo malabo yung question ko po.
I am more concerned po ako sa audio decoding really. I understand that the CCCP audio codecs handle the decoding of the audio portion of a movie.
Question ko po is kung DTS yung audio stream ng movie... eh will the a/v receiver properly recognize it? I hear some saying na yung HDMI will automatically pass through to the receiver therefore allowing the receiver to decode the audio stream.
I know I am missing something in how the whole thing works pero bottom line is i want to be sure that kung 5.1 o DTS o HD-DTS yung audio source eh the av receiver will recognize it without me having to buy any extra equipment.

If you use a player that can pass-thru the audio bitstream, you should be fine. Otherwise, you would have to configure your audio codec to do so. No extra hardware is necessary.

+ 10 ako i download the CCCP audio codecs and work like magic on my laptop using MPC.Na decode nya dd at dts sound. Im using onkyo 809.

Na-test ko yung Yamaha RX-V467 along with a 5.1 speaker setup na Mordaunt Short. Di ko natanong maiigi anong model ng speakers pero the whole setup was interesting.
Seems na configure ko lang yung HDMI setup ng laptop to play at 5.1 surround eh it played nicely on the reciever. Pansin ko nga lang na on the reciever, I couldn't even cycle through the surround setups. Naka STRAIGHT lang siya.
From the way it looks. CCCP audio codec or maybe even the HDMI configuration of the laptop was responsible for decoding the audio stream and simply instructed yung reciever to play it as 5.1. Honestly wala naman ako masyadong alam sa home theater setup and given na I usually just buy entry level stuff, I am thinking na pwede na siguro ito.
Anyone have suggestions on a build? I am trying to setup a home theater with around only 50k to play with.

sa reciever hunting ka sa market place ang daming brand na ka post pwede mo pang iudition.

Puwede na yang set up mo. Software at configurations lang ang kailangan.
What type of file are you playing?

Baka kayang sagutin dito para hindi na ako gagawa ng separate post.
I have a 5.1 multimedia speakers that was used before on a desktop. I want to try using it with my laptop but I don't know what to buy to be able to use all the channels on the multimedi speaker. It has 3 inputs(3.5mm) at the back of the sub for front, center and rear. Kaso yung laptop has only 1 (3.5mm) output. I use this currently for stereo listening in my bedroom (using front input)but looking for ways to maximize the speakers since the center and rear are just kept in storage.

External sound card po (normally connected via USB). How much are you willing to spend?
Encore ENMAB-8CM ata ang cheapest solution at 990 pesos. Creative and other brands meron din.
-
Thanks sir Stagea. No idea on the budget for now. But i guess the soundcard solution will only limit the use to a laptop. What if i want to extend the use to a cd player/dvd player or a portable music player? Are there options that can utilize a 3.5mm input or RCA input with the 3 (3.5mm) output that can be connected to the multimedia speaker?
TIA.

Portable music players generally don't output multichannel surround, unless you have an external decoder. A dedicated pre-pro might cost more than a proper AV receiver.
What speakers are these anyway?
-
I think the brand is Labtec. Used to be midlevel during its day. Just looking for ways on how to re-use instead of keeping it in storage. Helps with WAF in getting new gears since the old ones are put to use in other areas.
This was connected before with a desktop rig for gaming.

Try to use splash pro player and via HDMI pass through ng audio mo no codec is needed. ^_^

Connecting it to a DVD player with multichannel outs isn't ideal because you won't have time alignment. A CD player will only use 2 of its channels (does it have internal bass management or not?).
I suggest using it for its intended purpose (PC speakers).
-
You maybe right. I tried connecting it last night to a cheap dvd player that has a multi channel out. Using RCA to 3.5mm adaptors, I was able to connect the multi media speakers. It sounded fine but the panning was awful. will just keep it for stereo listening now.

That's the problem. Higher end players often do have time alignment and bass management, but they cost a little more than the usual ones.
