I have a question about sound and I posted it also in the soundblaster
forum. My DVD player in my computer is a Toshiba 12speed. I can play DVD's
but the sound is very weak. It also always plays trough the "waveslider". I
have soundblaster live card. I can actually disconnect all the cable from my
DVD player and it still plays but the signal is weak and I have to move the
sliders on volume and wave up all the way. Then I rip with cladDVD and also
use Smart-Ripper and play from the harddrive with the same result as playing
it directly from the DVD. Right now after ripping and DVD2Avi I take the
soundfile into cooledit and boost the signal 900~1200 % and then I get the
signal strength to use the volumeslider in a normal way. The same by the way
is with the CD-Rom TDK burner when I want to play a music CD. the only time
I get regular signal strength is trough my G450eTV and looped back into the
"In" connection externally and that one works correct. The slider "In" works
then and not the "wave" slider. Volume is the same.
In recording mode, the Tv-Card records correct trough the "In" slider. The
"wave slider while recording a DVD has no effect, again I can disconnect all
the cables and it still rips all to the harddrive. I guess this is because
it rips the sound digitally trough the Ribbon and soundcard has nothing to
do with it.
Question to all, has anybody the same or similar problem? If yes, anybody
solved this problem?
Thanks all for your time and happy converting.
