Same as the older X-FI, capture PCM from Speakers > encode to DTS > redirect to SPDIF > SPDIF out. You could have enabled 'Stereo Mix', then enabled 'listen to' then mute it for 'always on'.
When I had the X-FI there was an additional Creative service for the encoding and redirect, which used up to 10% CPU (at the time), I had an 8 core CPU when tested.
Another way to achieve Speaker to SPDIF redirect, is to install Virtual Audio Cable (VAC), then setup the playback as Speakers, and capture to 6 channels.
Then set the capture to 'listen to' SPDIF (where SPDIF has the encoder on it), it will redirect Speakers to SPDIF (6ch), then DTS out.
----====----If you get the full version of Virtual Audio Cable, you can set it up the same way as Creative. As above, if you need help let me know.
Speakers (VAC, 5.1) > VAC Capture, listen to enabled (5.1) > SPDIF (DTS 5.1, encoder) > DTS 5.1
You will need to right click and run the config panel app as admin, and enable speaker pin (tick box). Speaker and capture should be max 6 channels 24bit, ideally 48k.
got it all workingi am not sure if there is a delay while gaming. movies are no delay
here is all my settings maybe you can check if all is correct in the vac control panel

dont know why it shows 8 channels
thanks again![]()
I think the 'MS per' is the ms latency per instance, 3ms I would guess, that's perfectly fine. Also try max NC 6, see if that makes it 6 (top left corner).
all is fine now. nc 6 was the setting i overlooked
thank you for helping me
VAC will also accept Equalizer APO, if you want to add an SFX upmixer, see here.
