[SurroundSound] Re: How to identify

Hello all,

I did download a track from a dts newsgroup to try it out.

Convert with dbpoweramp a DTS.wav file without ReplayGain or any other DSP effect activated.

The original DTS file played perfect with vlc (use normally only for movies) but the converted  FLAC file was only noise with VLC, like a DTS file with Winamp.

Installed foobar2000 but have to get used to :)

I use VLC for movies, Winamp for single track music and Mediamonkey for playlist.

When you say it didn't play in dbpoweramp, what exactly was the outcome – refused to play, played silence, or played white noise (loud hiss)?  If the latter, it possibly means dbpoweramp has calculated and added a ReplayGain tag to the FLAC file, which, on playback in a player that honours ReplayGain tags, destroys the DTS encoding, resulting in white noise from the player.
If that's what happened, just remove the ReplayGain tags (track and album) from the file using TAG (part of the free FLAC software suite) or some other tag editor (MediaMonkey can do it, for example).
