Dvd Audio Discs
« on: February 16, 2004, 03:00:00 PM »
I think that this is a hardware limitation.  The sampling freq of standard audio cards is 44mhz.  I believe DVD audio requires 96mhz to playback at spec.  Any device that dosent have this capability will just play it back as a regular mpeg audio stream.  If it is multi-channel you will get the surround sound but you will not be able to hear the quality improvement over CD.  It may even sound worse?

Actually, the DTS or Dolby Digital audio put on a DVD-Audio is to make it compatible with DVD-Video players that don't support the DVDA standard. These players will play the DTS/DD stream instead of the true DVDA stream.

Well that's exactly the problem I'm having.  Instead of reading the DTS track, all the xbox homebrew media apps try to play the DVD Audio track (Which I assume is track #1).  So is there any that can do this properly?
