5.1 Sound Problem With Av Pack!1!
« on: March 18, 2006, 06:52:00 AM »
To get the "true" 5.1 you need to connect your speakers thru optical connector... but still u should get sound from the rear speakers using the RCA cables but it wont be 5.1 Thats my knowledge of it but maybe someone knows another solution...

He didn't say it was more serious than anyone else's problem, just that is was serious/urgent to him.  You gotta inferiority complex ?  biggrin.gif

Seriously though, yes, if you enabled the surrounds sound options in the MS Dash you should be getting surround in all the speakers.  You only connected via the optical cable right?  You don't have the RCA cables connected also right?

the old M$ dash.


Uh then you did your mod wrong.  You should always be able to get back to the MS Dash.  It's needed for lots-o-stuff.

Sorry, Ed. I tried to give it a bit of sarcasm (posting in CAPS and with exclamation marks) but gave the 'wrong' message with it. sad.gif

@glngeorge

Your cable is made by a third-party and gives the wrong 'mode' to your Xbox. When it gives the right mode, MS Dashboard will give two extra options: "Does your receiver support Dolby Digital?" and "Does your receiver support DTS?".

You can fix your cable by grounding a certain pin. A guy named AeX tried it in another topic and he said that it was pin 18. I believe he used this schematic.

If we compare that schematic to our unofficial schematic of the AVIP port on the mainboard of our forum, then I believe this to be pin 11. Most third-party cables operate at mode 3 (which is HD without optical audio). By grounding pin 11, the mode will be changed to 2+3, like the official pack from MS does. This mode enables the extra options in MS Dashboard and also makes sure that the games use it (but only if Dolby Digital is indeed enabled in MS Dashboard).

Remember: Both schematics use different pin-numbers (beware!).
