DTS-MA on the PS3 - How is it?! - Blu-ray Forum

token_howlie · 04-15-2008, 01:48 PM

has anyone put in shoot'em up??? I played it and my ps3 said 7.1 but my receiver only played 5.1... at the beginning the new line cinema part is in 7.1 and when I play games I can get 7.1, so I don't know what the problem is. Any help would be great.

I am beginning to think that this might be a widespread problem with DTS-MA 7.1 titles, someone posted a link called PS3 DTS-MA 7.1 Issues. Dang it.

Same over here with Shoot'em Up. No sound from back surrounds.

I tryed Shoot em up this morning, and as far as i remember there was sound coming from all speakers..

King03 · 04-15-2008, 01:58 PM

Sounds great. I tried out a little bit of Speed this morning just to make sure it worked.

I thought it was funny that the screen that said "This update Includes" only talked about the Playstation Store, said nothing of DTS-HD-MA.

I agree that it was nice to see the codec show up on the display.

I tried "Shoot 'em Up" last night...and wow...It's a darn shame I live in an apartment complex.

ah well...anyway the bass was amazing for the five minutes I had it playing at 11:00PM

, I can't wait to try it actually during normal waking hours to really let it stretch its legs!!

Another thread has mentioned that there have been issues getting 7.1 to work.
It seems most titles come out as 5.1, and those that show 7.1 have no sound out of the rear channels.
This could need an patch.

Jimbo976 · 04-15-2008, 02:20 PM

I don't have a 7.1 setup (receiver has it but no room for the speakers) so I'm very happy with the update. I tried a few DTS HD MA discs and am amazed at how good they sound. Kingdom of Heaven is one that sounds totally amazing almong with I, Robot.

All this talk about Shoot em Up might force me to go out and buy it today since I had only rented it before. I love that movie and I can imagine that it will sound great with MA.

Tried out the first 25 minutes of Die Hard One today.

Bit rates are typically about 2.1 Mbps instead of 1.5 Mbps for the core. But sometimes it jumps to 3 or 4 Mbps briefly. Highest I saw was 4.3 Mbps but only for 1 second.

Can I absolutely tell it is better? Probably not. But still my PS/3 is now complete.

Nice to hear Hairspray gets much higher Mbps. Possibly the more recent titles will demo this better.

Jimbo976 · 04-15-2008, 02:31 PM

I saw it go up to 6 or 7 Mbps on a few titles. The bit rate doesn't really mean too much though as it is lossless. Uncompressed PCM should equal soundwise TrueHD which should equal DTS HD MA if they were all coming from the same source. Newer titles will likely benfit more. I plan to try out the 1st 3 Die Hard movies later today to see. I don't have Live Free or Die Hard yet but will have to buy it now.

I was switching back and forth between the audio tracks on a few titles and the main thing is the finer clarity of the background sounds. Also there are some very quiet sounds that I can now make it that I couldn't before. And the bass seems more even. Sure it isn't a huge leap in many cases but i'd rather listen to the best possible sound just like I would rather watch the best possible picture. Now I can say I can see and hear the best that there is for home video.

XSilentCobraX · 04-15-2008, 02:42 PM

I just watched some scenes from Hitman, and it was alot better, did some switching back and forth, and DTS HD MA was better, detail and background sounds was better, also front sound sounded abit better.. going to try another movie now

the DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio track of I, Robot sounded quite nice.

Blu Falcon · 04-16-2008, 12:19 AM

I just watched a few scenes from I, Robot and Sunshine. Unbelievable sound quality. DTS-HD MA is simply awesome. On the flip side, the audio on Predator wasn't as impressive, but I'm sure it's much better than any other previous audio incarnation of that particular film.
