Has anyone found any programs to do this? I found 1 program it's nearly doubles the size but allows your music to be in full DTS/Dolby Digital.. only thing is when I tried it the receiver saw it as DTS it was playing but no sound [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] Anyone have any programs out there who have tried/done this and it actually works? There's is a program by Surcode but the trialware is 2000$

NO but if you have a MB with Nvidia Soundstorm (inc in some nforce 2 board) you can have real time hardware Dolby digital encoder http://www.nvidia.com/object/feature_soundstorm.html

Why do you want to play music in dts or dolby digital, dts is just a transfer protocol for digital sound that use crompression, you will lose some quality(Dolby digital 384 kbps for the 5.1 and 192 kbps for 2.0 24 bit48Khz, DTS 240 kbps/channel 24 bit48Khz and CD-audio 706kbs/ch 16 bit44Khz), but if you juste want 5.1 use dolby Pro Logic II and set it for music.

Yeah, I don't have the dolby prologic II on my receiver unfort it's just dolby pro logic and doesn't do a good job at it... I just want that "surround" feel say when your playing a live tune... Not sure if you/anyone has seen Almost Famous but when they go to play while on tour and the fans are goin nuts it sounds like ur sitting right in the middle of that...

In general, it's not a great idea to try and let software re-mix audio to have more channels than it was intended to.
Basically, you are trying to convert a 2.0 channel audio signal to one with 5.1 channels (basically 5 channels). Well, how is your program going to know what to put on what channels? If you have a 5.1 reciever, I believe most WILL convert the 2.0 to 5.1 on the fly but you will gain nothing excep your rears will be attentuated versions of the fronts and the center will probably have something like Pro-Logic in wide mode applied to it. So, I would just let your reciever do the up-mixing, if you want that 'live' feeling just put your reciever in 5.1, movie, jazz, whatever and it should do what you need.
That being said, I like playing CDs in 7.1 with my Denon. Not sure why, maybe because it's a lot louder [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yeah, like I said the prologic mode kinda sucks on mine, and it's a basic jvc receiver so no fancy options like jazz/blues/live it's literally that a dts/dolbu digital receiver with Theatre/pavillion/and someting else I can't remember... with this Surcode program you can setup it up so u place the exact "AUDIO" to a specifc channel... it has the options for left/rigth/rear right/rear left/center/lfe... meh I guess I will just leave it lol.. seems to be to much of a pain in the a$$...
