It's the T2 1080p video from this page ..... HERE
If your Windows Media Player SRS is also enabled as well, it probably would sound like crap...

After trying this with good quality headphones, I was a little disappointed. It really does make the onboard speakers sound better, but with headphones it's just a lot of very synthetic sound processing.

Nope, just running it through Media Player Classic.

Agreed... I wish it was Dolby Headphone instead of SRS...

You can have dolby headphone processing but unfortunately, you must have either a dvd playback software or an external decoder. i have got a Creative dolby headphone processor and its amazing.


Not only can it process DD5.1/DTS5.1 but it can process stereo sources such as WMAs or MP3s or whatever because the decoder also has dolby pro logic II. this means the decoder changes stereo sources into a dolby digital soundtrack which is then processed by the dolby headphone to create a dramatic audio experience....i can never go back to plain old stereo now. The decoder is connected to the Audigy 2ZS notebook with an optical cable so the sound quality is clean and crsip. if you want the best audio experience over headphones...this is it. (The black box sitting on the laptop is a headphone amp to boost the sound quality from the decoder even higher)

Is there a reason you're using such an obsolete media player? Surprised that it could even play HD content and not sure why you haven't tried the same video using Media Player11...

He's talking about Media Player Classic, not the classic MS Media Player. Two completely different animals.

EDIT: Well, maybe not completely....

As a media player (but not media manager), MPC is far more powerful. It might not have to pretty eye candy of WMP 10 or 11 but i find it much better for video playback. And it can play quicktime and realmedia with the proper codecs installed..

What Veazer said is what I said...its a far more powerful piece of kit...none of the bloat on it...

its NOT Media Player from Win95...its Media Player Classic...

Getting some pretty weird results in conjunction with IE7... When I load certain pages the sound jumps to a weird mono(ish) style of output with much less definition and a weird hollow sound. Any one noticed anything strange like this while using IE7 or similar?

Just installed this utility on my Latitude D600 and what an amazing sound difference on the Sigmatel audio card. Dell should make this a standard! Thanks to the person who modified the utility.

Toshiba Virtual Sound M (TVS Modded) for Windows XP

You will only need the link that says "DOWNLOAD (530 kb)"

Here are my settings, but I'm still playing around with them a bit and I've only tried 2-channel sources so far:

Use WOW HD always
SRS: 0% (adds background hiss on my machine, YMMV)
Speaker Size: 100 Hz
TruBass Level: 90%
FOCUS level: 40%
Definition: 65%

btw, ASIO4ALL drivers bypass the utility, so your asio apps won't be affected by this.


Nice I like those settings thanks! Before I was having hissing background noise.

Hey, so is this a good alternative to the "Creative Audigy Software" Download thing from Dell? Like will it improve sounds in games too? Not just media playback...

FWIW, on my M170 the SRS TruSurround XT setting works much better than the WOWHD....
