I've recently downloaded a set of DTS .shn files, and cannot for the life of me figure out how to play them correctly. I've spent a good deal of time reading everything i can find on DTS files and how to play them, and from what I gather my system should play them fine... SB Audigy 2 ZS > Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5.1 I'm trying to play the .shn files directly from my hard drive, so the CD/DVD player obviously isn't an issue. I've tried playing them thru dbPowerAmp and Winamp w/ Shnamp plugin. Hisssssssss! Not sure what i'm doing/not doing correctly, as DTS is a whole new world to me. Should i be using a specific player? Is the fact that they are .shn and not .wav making it more difficult? Any help appreciated, i'd love to be able to hear this!
I had the same problem. Go to: http://www.etree.org/ and look on the right side for mkwACT. The software and accompanying guide can help. Rock On!
i've used mkwACT before but am not completly sure what you mean in this case. what should i do to get some sound out of these? encode them to what? shouldnt they have played fine as I originaly downloaded them? still confused, netyuppie
Go to http://www.etree.org/mkw.html and follow the instructions. The .shn files need to be DE-coded to WAV files. That's what mkwACT is for. Once they are decoded, they should play on a player that has DTS and accepts CR-Rs. Now this is what I was told. My DVD player has DTS, but doesn't like CD-R discs, so I'm out of luck.
