It ticks all the points on the list: there are better graphics, there's a bigger "What the Hell?" moment, there are tougher characters, bigger firefights and more controversies. It's a fun, quick, at times tough shooter that satisfies the urge to redeem by wielding a firearm and has superb level design.

Black Friday is a term for the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States, which is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. Because Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States, Black Friday occurs between the 23rd and the 29th of November.

I have made a usb cm108 pin 1 spdif mod with the pin 38 mixer to ground mod.

I put one SB into the PCI of the desktop computer, then have my desktop speakers. I have adjusted the inputs so that the spdif is not muted..

I plug the usb cm108 into the laptop, then have it play a song

I then connect the spdif out of the cm108 into the spdif in of the sb and got sound on the sb (desktop speakers)

When I do the same with the DVD player (as Spdif OUT) using its Digital Out (Coaxial) port, it does not work.

I've tried all the audio settings, already enabled digital out, tried DTS, PCM output, Dolby.. etc.

I check in the kx SPDIF info, when I connect it to the cm108 it detects it fine, but when I connect to DVD Digital Out (Coaxial), it always says "Unused"... or never gets detected. I tried it already on two dvd player. Is there something different about it?

I measure the voltage for the spif in cm108 its 1.5-1.6v,
I measure the voltage for the coaxial output, its 100mv... (why so weak)? Does that voltage need to be amplified? I wish I could tap the spdif directly on the mediatek chip.


thanks

edit:

I solved the problem for now, I hope this will help others because I never seen it mentioned..

1) you can find the pinout of your dvd chip, ie: Mediatek or Zoran etc for the spdif pin, but soldering that will be hard.

or 2) if you have a OPTICAL or some solder pads that look like a OPTICAL solder place, measure it with the voltmeter, it will be gnd, 5V and 1.2V, the 1.2v is your spdif...!

So it seems the coaxial output will reduce the voltage.. ]]> General Discussion kocoman http://www.driverheaven.net/general-discussion/192816-back-dvd-players-digital-out-coaxial-does-not-work-but-works-w-cm108-spdif-mod.html Thanks Guys!! http://www.driverheaven.net/driverheaven-tools-discussion/192814-thanks-guys.html Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:29:51 GMT I am so glad I came across your site!

I have been banging my head against the wall trying to get Directdraw to work on my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650. After I upgraded to Windows 7, DXDIAG was reporting Directdraw was unavailable and no matter what driver package I used from AMD or the Dell site where I got my machine, it would not start up.

Assassins Creed II is the long awaited followup to the hugely successful 2007 Ubisoft romp which sold en masse and met with both critic and public approval. Sure, there were some issues but overall it was an entertaining and immersive game which ended up with a huge following. The sequel is set to address those issues while keeping the fantasy sci-fi stealth appeal which won over the hearts of many gamers. ]]> Gaming Reviews Zardon http://www.driverheaven.net/gaming-reviews/192812-assassins-creed-2-x360-ps3-review-gamingheaven.html Jurassic: The Hunted Demo on Xbox Live http://www.driverheaven.net/gaming-news/192810-jurassic-hunted-demo-xbox-live.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:49:04 GMT Read Full Story Here.
