Ok, first, my apologies if this turns out to be nothing useful, but I'm not very up on 44.1/48khz sampling etc.
Anyway, I seem to recall that the reason DTS encoded CD's cannot play on a PC with a SB live card are because the EMU10K1 chip resamples everything, including 44.1 to 48khz. Now, I found this site some time ago, but only just got around to reading it:
SBlive site
Under 'digital I/O' there is mention of bypassing the circuitry which resamples the bitstream. Now, as DTS cd's are encoded in 44.1khz, and I believe that it is impossible for the SB card to output at anything but 48khz (meaning this bypass wouldn't work) maybe this is useless. Of course, this might be useful for any audio recorded at 48khz in keeping it pure.
Basically, I was wondering if anyone who knows about these things could cast their eye over this site and see if it is of any use.
I'd give the drivers a try myself, but as I don't have any access to anything 48khz or DTS encoded cd's, I wouldn't be able to prove/disprove anything.
Cheers.
