Auzentech Dolby Digital Live X-Fi Prelude Driver Now Available

malware · Dec 22, 2007

Auzentech announced today the release of Dolby Digital Live support for the X-Fi Prelude Soundcard. A real-time encoding technology, Dolby Digital Live converts any audio signal into a Dolby Digital bitstream for transport and playback through a home theater system. With it, your PC or game console can be hooked up to your Dolby Digital-equipped audio/video receiver or digital speaker system via a single digital connection. All Auzentech X-Fi Prelude owners may now proceed to the free soundcard driver update download link.

W000000000000000TTTTTTTT. That makes my day!!!!!

Asus has a kick ass sound card that is better than the Xfi and Auzentech. I believe the DSP they use is strikingly similar to the DSP Oxygen sensor that Auzeentech uses,.

Auzen XFi Prelude is the best sounding card on planet Earth

Nothing comes even close.

The Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty Professional is the best performing card with games, on planet Earth. Nothing comes even close.

EDIT: The best sounding card was the X-Meridian, it's no more in production.

'bout time!

Now if only Creative would get on the ball for their lineup :ohwell:

Driver works awesome, just remember it is a software solution for DDL. DTS is coming as well. I still recommend it as I love this card.

Okay...I tried playing Saw III (DD version DVD with Cyberlink PowerDVD)

Well yes it defi is a little more voluminous now. But at times it is getting choppy.

it wasn't doing that before the new driver? That's a little odd for Auzen to release a driver even a little buggy.

No, it wouldn't decode DD using the SPDIF co-axial to my Sony HT system. It would only do PCM multi-channel. With DD it's definitely sounding better especially stuff like projectiles, etc. But I did notice certain places with a little "snow" and some chops....very faint though...don't confuse this with the chops you hear when playing a multi-channel game with a Realtek codec. This is nowhere near that. But well since this the first driver to implement DD, I'm not complaining.

good stuff to hear, then. Just immature drivers for a new feature - which should mean Auzen might be releasing some more updated sets of drivers over the next few months as they work bugs out.

I still wish Creative would get off their ass . . . but, their big issue right now is Vista drivers :rolleyes:

btarunr · Dec 24, 2007

Yeah...another thing I noticed was:

Earlier when switching bw Game and Entertainment modes, sometimes it would give out a loud hissing sound....like old TVs without signals make "hissssss". That is totally gone.

:nutkick:

.....this is to Microsoft for disintegrating DirectSound from Vista (DX 10)

BTW, this driver for the Auzen card....it was made by Creative.
