This is going to be a little long winded but I want to make sure I note all of the details. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. I ripped my entire DVD library (close to 300 DVDs) using HandBrake and saved all of the files in "AppleTV" format. This was when I had an AppleTV. For Christmas my wife and I decided to sell the AppleTV on eBay and purchase a Dell Zino HD with a BluRay player. The Zino does not have a 5.1 channel sound card so I purchased a Creative SoundBlaster USB sound card and have that connected via an optic cable into my Bose sound system.
I was having trouble getting the audio to play back in 5.1 surround and posted here it was suggested to use the Win32 waveOut extention setting so I did and that worked great. I have to manually choose the second audio track but I can live with that to get 5.1 surround. 5.1 videos sound great.
Now here's my problem. I have some movies even when I choose the second audio track OR there is no 2nd track my only option is 2.0 the audio comes in and out. The voices get so quiet we can't here them then the background noise is so loud it blasts us out of the room. This was not a problem with the AppleTV. What can I do?!?!? Thanks so much for your help!
