Why won my Dolby receiver play my SurCode DTS CD/DVD files?
9. Dolby Labs licenses Dolby Digital and Digital Theater Sound licenses DTS. They are separate competing companies and have separate proprietary decoders to decode their own type of compressed data back into audio. [ Top ] When I play my DTS CD (or files)all I hear is noise. 10. The DTS file is a lossy compressed data file. It must be digitally transferred to a DTS decoder to be assembled back into music. So, a DTS CD can’t be played in a regular CD player. Or, if the DTS file has been modified in any way before being decoded (played through the analog outs, run through a volume control, etc), it will be corrupted. DTS has been designed so that the un-decoded files sound like white noise. So if you just hear white noise, the DTS file is not being decoded, or has become corrupt.
