SB Live Platinum 5.1
5.1 analog out via Digital Din connector from Digital Din bracket -for best anaalog 5.1 sound- for DTS software decoding via PowerDVD XP 4.0 , and optical s/pdif through Live! Drive IR for DD 5.1 with DTT 3500 Digital speakers..
Note : for best result with analog 5.1 DTS sound , use the Digital Din Bracket wich is placed away from other cards , so minimum electrical noise and PowerDVD XP 4.0 using 2SPEAKER/DIRECT SOUND 3D -which will give 6 discrete channels- and the sound quality is AWESOME .
The only problem with this setup is that the dialogue channel is not as clear as in Digital mode , but I can enhance it by reducing the Bass slider with the remote controller to 5 , but yet the LFE is not thunderous in software DTS decoding as Hardware DD 5.1 decoding.....
