After reading on this forum, I finally realized that the reason for my DTS sound track file playing like white noise is because I'm not sending bit-perfect signal from computer to receiver!
I have two sound card, one Audigy Gamer the other USB Audigy NX. I need that Audigy for its 1394 port, but everything else on that card are disabled. I use SPDIF/Coax from Audigy NX to Pioneer VSX850.
After reading on this forum, I thought I need to buy a Chaintech. But wait, after installing ASIO4ALL, foobar successfully send DTS signal (44.1khz) to the receiver! However I got cracking sound when switch tracks, even after all buffer values maxed out.
After playing with it a little, I found out that by default "Device Control" for Audigy NX doesn't allow choosing 44.1khz for digital out. But after using ASIO4ALL for once, I can choose 44.1!
Then I switch back to kernel streaming. Wow! DTS file still play correctly! (Yes, I restarted foobar2000, I even restarted the machine!)
So for all your Audigy NX user, at 44.1khz SPDIF, there seems to be no internal upsampling, we can get bit-perfect signal!
By the way, I don't know whether this works with Audigy Gamer or not. But I'm happy enough.
