Have you tried VLC media player Dan? Worked alright with DTS on my old Win 7 laptop - I cannot confirm for win 7 64 though, as my new(er) desktop running that is upstairs (AV amp is downstairs).

Dear Dan,
My only DTS/pc experience that I could pass along to you is that I seem to remember that all the audio outputs in the computer had to be set all the way up. In other words, if any adjustable volume levels in the chain were set to anything other than "max" you would just get static. This was when using DTS-CD stereo wav files. As far as DTS in any other format. (i.e. 94/24 or MLP or whatever, I would expect that you have to make sure the computer is compatible with those formats. When in doubt, make sure you give Foobar 2000 a chance to make things work for you. That always seems to save me when things aren't cooperating with this kind of stuff. Also, their user forums are much much more helpful than what you have described with the soundcard company.

Subject: [SurroundSound] DTS --> S/PDIF pass-through under Win7Pro64?
In my new PC, I initially installed a cheap 'Diamond XtremeSound PCI-e 7.1 Channels Low Profile 24-Bit Sound Card XS71HD', which comes with an adapter plate with both optical and COAX S/PDIF in- and output connectors. I had hoped that it would handle DTS pass-through (the documentation is vague), but sadly I couldn't make it do that (the subject of my earlier post:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/surroundsound/fJ-PR8kn2rU – excuse the Title typo; I don't know how to retrospectively correct it!)
The tests in Windows Control Panel 'Sounds' would output DTS to my external S/PDIF-connected surround receiver, but no player that I tried would.
Because support for the Diamond card is effectively non-existent (neither company nor user forum responds), I decided to try a different sound card that might at least have better support. So I bought a second-hand 'Asus Xonar D2X/XDT/A PCI-e', which also gave the impression of supporting DTS pass-through.
But it's worse than the Diamond! It won't even play stereo unless I 'reconfigure' the settings in Control Panel every time I start playing something! And no DTS pass-through – same behaviour as the Diamond card. Also no response to my Asus forum post.
So I'm stumped – I can't simply play any audio from my PC, let alone DTS!
Has anyone succeeded in getting DTS pass-through working through an S/PDIF port on a Win7Pro64 PC?? If so, details of your card, player, and their setups would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Daniel (Australia)
