Xbox news; and sweet it is; we know of great CG guality in game graphics coming, we know of high level Al. coming, now we get kick butt sound, the Xbox is now one complete beast, MO just got better, if that was still even possisble.
Dolby Laboratories today announced that it would supply Dolby Digital 5.1 encoders for Microsoft's Xbox. The encoder will enable the Xbox to be the first console that supports full 5.1 sound during gameplay. Previous consoles would only support Dolby Digital 5.1 during movies and FMV playback.
The Xbox features a dedicated digital signaling chip that enables developers to spruce up their games with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound on the fly with no performance hit to the gameplay.
Crank up the sound, things got better again. Yet another reason for an Xbox purchase, and counting.......
