Dell :: Studio XPS 16 (1640)Dolby Digital Through HDMI Possible?

Feb 5, 2010

So as the title states, I am wondering if it is possible to play a video with audio encoded in Dolby Digital on my laptop, pass it through to my TV via HDMI, then out via optical to my receiver. I have a friend who owns a HP business laptop with a SoundMAX sound card, but also an ATI graphics card. We are both running the Realtek ATI HDMI 2.39 drivers, I have the latest drivers from Dell for the IDT sound card on my Studio XPS 16 (1640). He says (and I've seen) he is able to do Dolby Digital this way through an option (see attachment).

However, I do not have this same "Custom" tab / option, and we are running the same driver version (at least to my knowledge). Can anyone help me in finding out if this is doable, and if so, what software (and versions) are required?

HP/Compaq :: HP 8510p HDMI, Passthrough Dolby Digital, DTS To Amp --->

Oct 20, 2009

I have a HP 8510p (XP32) that works really fine. The only thing that I can not make it happen is that whatever I try I can not get the DD, DTS work between my laptop HDMI and my receive. I recieive only stereo (Audio HDMI OUT is selected).

Question:
1) How on earth can I get DTS/DD from my laptop HDMI when i play a mkv with DTS/DD audio?

2) If I connect the laptop to the TV via HDMI and the laptop to my amp via optical, can it make the trick? (the only problem here is that, my laptop does not have optical out, just HDMI and analog, but using a docking station i can have optical out...)

Acer :: Dolby Digital Plus Lags Or Crashes On Aspire V7

Sep 6, 2014

I have a problem with the Dolby utility that came preinstalled on Acer Aspire V7 482PG. When I click it, it takes around 5-20 seconds for the interface to show up (5 when I am not doing anything, more during playing anything with sound (youtube video etc.). Sometimes it does not even open and the icon disappears until I log off the PC and logon again.
 
PS.: there is enough HDD space, it is defragmented, there are no viruses or spyware (according to Defender and Malwarebytes), there are not too many programs running in the background.

Sony :: VAIO FW11S HDMI > Digital Optical/coaxial Out (24bit Audio Listening)

Mar 26, 2010

I would like to listen 24bit music from my Vaio to the iBasso D10 portable amp which I'm going to purchase. This has a USB connection which only supports audio up to 16bit 44.1khz, but through the digital inputs (optical or coaxial) it supports 24bit input.

The Vaio FW11S only has an analogue headphone jack, and a HDMI output. Is it possible to get 24bit digital audio from my HDMI output to the digital inputs on the iBasso?

Is there a HDMI > optical or HDMI > coaxial converter/cable/plug/etc. available, and what would be a very good quality one?

how about this? [url]
Will this support playback of 24bit FLAC files through the optical out?

Dell :: Security Flaw In Studio's Digital Persona Fingerprint Software

Jan 16, 2009

There is currently a major security flaw in the DigitalPersona software used by the Studio's fingerprint reader, whereby a user can launch Internet Explorer (or the default browser) without logging on to the system.

If you have the software installed now, go ahead and give it a try. Either log off, or lock the system and then click "Swipe you finger to unlock" account, and then "Enroll Fingerprints".

Finally right click on the animation in the wizard and select "About Adobe Flash Player", launching Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Dell :: Solution To Linux Load_cycle_count Issue Over Studio 14 Laptop With Western Digital WD3200BEVT HDD

Jan 5, 2009

I have recently purchased a Dell Studio 14 laptop with Western Digital WD3200BEVT 320 GB 5400 rpm HDD. I installed Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10 immediately after purchasing it.

I am aware of the Load_cycle_count issue and would like to fix it. But with so many threads on the topic available on the net, I am a bit confused.

Has anyone applied the fix on the Studio Laptop with the above HDD yet? If yes, can anyone please share their experiences/caveats etc. so that I can confidently go ahead and apply the fix .....

Dell :: Studio Western Digital Disk Quiet "clicking"

Nov 30, 2008

My WDC WD2500BEVS-75UST0 (HDD) "clicking" in IDLE MODE.
On normal or heavy load I can't hear the click.
But in IDLE - my WDC clearly "clicking".
I used NHC and set the option "Max Performance 254" and It is fine all the time.
But I hate NHC and overall addition programs in the start-up.
I found too the HDD has jumper:
http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc....p?p_faqid=1410
To reduce "Spin UP" but I'm under warranty, and it is no option.
Any advice.It is not big deal, and I can hear it only when my HDD is IDLE but....
OS: Windows Vista
HDD temperatures: normal range - 33-35-37 C
Maximum reached: 40-41 C
The temperatures are fine by my opinion.
NO BAD SECTORS!

Dell :: Studio XPS 1640 &

Jan 15, 2009

Suppose I purchase one today at full retail price. Then, in say a week, there's a 20% (or whatever) coupon that comes out, or they go on sale.

Can I call Dell and ask for the difference? I know they have a 21 (or whatever) day return policy, so I would imagine the sale or coupon would have to come within that time frame.

Another question: Does the return policy time begin when I order or when it ships or when I receive it? .

Dell :: Studio XPS 13 And HDMI

Jul 3, 2009

My SXPS13 is running Vista 64 with all the latest BIOS and drivers from the Dell website. nVidia driver version 7.15.11.7982.

I plugged my LCD 37" telly in my laptop via HDMI. At first everything was ok and l was getting an image on the laptop screen as well as the TV.

I was then abled to switch modes so l just had an image on the TV. The screen was a bit overstretched so l was loosing the top, bottom, left and right of the image.

I went into the nVidia control panel and found a utilitily where l could re-size the LCD TV image.

All seemed fine until l clicked apply. The screen went blank and it appeared the laptop had frozen as l was unable to get the CAPS LOCK key to come on

Dell :: Studio XPS 1640 Temperatures

Jun 22, 2009

Just got my new laptop 1/2 a week ago and installed a clean 7 on it. My idle temperatures are as follows:

Processor (T9800): ~43 degrees
ATI: ~48 degrees
HDD (500 GB 7200 RPM): ~40 degrees
Motherboard: ~44-50 degrees

This is at idle! When I game for a while, all temperatures hover at ~60 degrees. Is this normal?

My old laptop with a T5750 idles at 19 degrees for the processor, does the T9800 produce this much extra heat?

Also, if other 1640 users can post their specs and temperatures it'd be great.

Dell :: My Studio XPS 1640 Won't Start,

Feb 27, 2010

My studio XPS 1640 doesn't turn on. I can only see four touch buttons lit and everything else is off.

The only way to turn them off is by removing the battery and the moment I put it back they turn back on.

Using the AC adapter is the same, they remain on until I disconnect them. I attach a picture to show what I mean.

Dell :: Studio XPS 1640 Worth Getting Now?

Mar 8, 2009

A Dell Studio 1737 OR the Dell Studio XPS 1640? The Studio 1737 has been out longer for any problems to be fixed and whatnot and comes at a lower price. The Studio XPS 1640 has been out for just a couple of months and there are dozens of reports of BSOD's, heating issues, etc...

I would like to get the Studio XPS 1640, but generally I wait about 4-6 months after the product has been released before buying. There are talks about a built-in TV Tuner, but I haven't seen that on the Dell website. People are also saying Dell is going to upgrade the video card .....
