chiragkotak Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 hi.. i have a creative audigy platinum 2 soundcard... it has a co axial optical and spdif ins and outs... i also have a pair of roland digital monitors which i hook up via the spdif out of the sound card to the ins on one speaker..from one speaker's out to the others co axial out.. i also have a lg dvd player... i just bought an optical cable.. i would like to know how to record samples from my dvd player when i hook up the dvd optical out to my sound card optical in and monitoring off my digital speakers connected to the coaxial spdif on my sound card... i also activated spdif input on the creative mixer source selection panel.. i am able to see an LR signal on the creative recorder but the signals are very hot..clipping... i am not able to hear or monitor this signal...i know the signal is coming from the dvd player cause when i press pause on the dvd player the signal on the meter stops. i am able to record it ,then play it back... BUT all i hear is some sort of digital jitter or something like that... i also tried this in fruity loops with the same results.. Only when i play audio cd's on my dvd player everything works fine...i am able to monitor and get healthy signal levels..no problems... but with vcd's or even burned dvd's all i get is jitter... i still need to try an orignal dvd... . how do i reduce recording levels? even though i pull the record level slider all the way down i still get hot signals.. . how do i monitor the signal coming in before or even without recording... . why am i hearing jitter and not an audio signal? any help would be great... thanks.. chirag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N,N-dimethyl tryptamine Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 dvd's are mastered in 5.1 channel dolby format usually, some 6.1, some DTS and so on. you are trying to record a 6 channel signal using 2 channels. go into the audio setup of your dvd player when you put in a movie or whatever and select the stereo setting. you can still use the optical out however it will only be outputting L&R signals. You could also just use the analog out. im not positive that this is your problem but sounds like it is. i hope i helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
