Cannot send sound to home theater receiver

I have a HP Pavilion g6-1c57dx Notebook PC with Windows 7
The display adapter is 'Intel (R) HD Graphics family.
When I connect my Onkyo home theater receiver (TX-NR3008) to the computer via the HDMI port, I am able to send video to the receiver but not sound.
Can anyone help?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
You can either connect your tv to your receiver using either HDMI or component (existing tv only) and then connect your receiver to the TV by the connection of your choice depending on what is available on both your TV and your receiver.
Alternatively, you can continue to connect your tv to your TV in your current configuration and use the optical audio connection to connect your tv to your receiver for audio only.

  • Hooking up MBP to home theater receiver: Surround sound for games?

    I'm looking for a way to hook up my MBP to my home theater receiver to play games in surround sound. From what I've read, it sounds like the digital optical out will only provide 5.1 sound for DVDs, not games.
    I have also read about the Griffin Firewave which supposedly provides 5.1 sound from the firewire port...however, it looks like there are five separate outputs from that device (center, and both front and rear speakers), and my receiver's inputs are not arranged in this way, so I don't think this will work for my setup.
    Anyone know of a way to do this successfully? It's looking like it's not possible, but wanted to see if there were any solutions I was missing. Thanks!

  • 5.1 to home theater receiver thru Optical Out not working; Fatality Platinum

    I tried connecting the Optical Out on the front to my receiver's optical in. Made sure everything was set to 5. in both the Creative and receiver settings, and the receiver gets optical 5. just fine with my Play Station version 3 and X-box version 360 gaming computers. Please help, I have tried reboot, messing with settings, Google, I cannot fix this.
    Jinwoo from great korea!

    Hi I have the same probleme, exept that I have succesfuly pluged my home theater receiver and the 5.1 works. Just my subwoofer seems not to work properly. Like when I plug it into a digital dvd player it works very nicely. but when pluged into the sound card it seems that it dosnt have any signal for it.
    ANy clues??? I know i pluged everything finely I have tested the sound test for each speaker and sub to, from the receiver and from the creative software the sub seems to work but very quietly even if I cran the volume up on the sub or in the software , the sub dont work as it should.
    1 thing I remarqued is that the sub works occasionaly in some movies. When listening to the music it not working and I dont understand that.

  • Connecting HDTV/Dig Cable/Wii/Home Theater Receiver

    I have a Samsung 600series HDTV, Yamaha Home Theater Receiver, AT&T Uverse Digital cable box and Nintendo Wii. What is the best way using HDMI and an optical audio cable(s) to route everything through my Receiver? I want to minimize the amount of cables running behind the wall up to my TV.
    Right now I have:
    - HDMI from Digital cable box up to HDTV
    - HDMI from Receiver to HDTV
    - Optical audio from HDTV to Receiver
    - Wii not currently set up b/c I when connected to the Receiver I couldn't find the proper setting to get this to work
    In the current set up, I get full audio out of all 5.1 surround sound speakers with the radio, but when the TV/Cable is on I only get sound from the front L & R. I'm sure it has something to with with my set up because I know all 5 speakers work...
    thanks for your help,
    Solved!

    We use the second set up. Works just fine for us. Routes everything neatly to the receiver with one easy to conceal hdmi cable to the t.v.

  • Home Theater receiver users should read this for enabling dolby digi

    I have an onkyo 5. dts / dolby digital receiver, and an audigy 2 zs platinum. i am using an optical cable from the front panel on the audigy to the optical in on my receiver. My receiver manual says it is a 96 khz receiver. I am using a 2 pin cable from my dvd player to the audigy. When using a dvd, I can not get dolby digital sound to my receiver. I have set the audigy to spdif pass through, i have tried 48khz, 96khz, every combination of everything. Setting to 2. speakers, 5. speakers, but yet i am stuck with either stereo sound if set to 96khz, or dolby prologic II if set to 48khz.
    Another thing i tried was using a dvd image i created on my hard dri've from a dvd, and playing it through alcohol 20%, to see if it was my dvd player giving the problems. I still get the exact same results when playing a dolby digital source through the hard dri've.
    So, in the end, is it actually possible to have dolby digital from the audigy 2 zs platinum through a home theater receiver, or not?
    thanksMessage Edited by jonnybruno on 0-20-2005 2:7 AM

    I am feeling the same way about this card. It would be nice if somebody from creative could respond with a definite correct way to get dolby digital to my home theater receiver. Im sick of being plagued with problems.. no dolby digital, random stopping of sound which requires me to reinstall drivers, popping noises every so often, etc etc etc..
    seriuosly... an m-audio revolution is starting to sound pretty appealing.
    edit: I would also like to note that my box does say front panel optical out for 5. support, unlike the previous poster had said it says stereo only. I am able to get dolby digital if i switch to my onboard nforce soundstorm or whatever it is.
    PS. I am not going to let this thread drop down until I have a definiti've answer on whether it is possible to have dolby digital through my audigy 2 zs platinum and home theater receiver. I paid $200 for this card, and I really would appreciate a straight forward definite answer.Message Edited by jonnybruno on 0-9-2005 09:4 AM

  • What is the best way to connect to home theater receiver ?

    what is the best way to connect iPhone to home theater receiver?

    For audio, video, or both?
    Audio:
    I use AirPlay.
    If your receiver doesn't support AirPlay, you might try USB or Bluetooth.
    If it's an older model that doesn't support any of the above, the mini-stereo-to-RCA cable may be your best option.
    Video:
    Try the Apple A/V cable.

    Cannot send an email but can receive one.  Solution?

    Hi,
    I'm having the same problem as Ed. "smtp.me.com" send error.
    When I got the iPhone I followed mobileme sync between my computer and the iPhone from iTunes.
    My mobileme sends and receives mail from my Mail app on my computer.
    I tried to change the SSL server port # on the iPhone but it is grey and not able to be changed. I think port #25 works too. But, mail on my computer uses 587 which the iPhone is set to, but it's not working.
    I can send and receive mail from my yahoo and another POP3 account.
    Any ideas of how I can get my mobileme mail to send on my iphone? Thanks.

  • Help! Suddenly no sound from home theater speakers!

    I bought a Sony KDL 46W5100 TV and the BDVE300 Home theater system at BB. I have always had these two hooked up directly to
    each other with an HDMI cable and the digital optical cord. There are no other components involved.
    We have always had surround sound to the HT speakers when the television speakers are set to 'audio system'
    II am in NO WAY an audio/video expert, but I've had to mess with the settings here and there
    after one of the kids reset something and I've always been
    able to return the system to proper operation.
    I am not sure what happened this time, but I cannot get the home theater speakers to give me any sound when in TV mode or
    the BD/DVD mode. Theater mode does nothing for the sound either. I know the speakers are connected properly as they work during the 'test' and also when using the FM radio. I also know I am not on 'mute'
    I do get video when playing a DVD or blu ray but no sound. I borrowed a BVD E770W, hooked it up and ended up with the same result.
    This would lead me to believe that I have some rogue setting in my TV or maybe my HDMI cable is bad? I'm not sure about the
    cable as I still have video through it.
    I've re-read all my manuals, searched the forums online and I found nothing
    Can anyone give me some advice here?
    My family would greatly apperciate it

    Try unplugging the power cord to TV and Surround receiver for 15-20 minutes. Plug back in and retry. If test tone & tuner have sound, your receiver is working. This will reset your data lines and hopefully restore operation. If not, and the DVD & TV sound hookup is coming thru the TV, the firmware in the TV may need to be updated found here:

  • Connecting to a Home Theater receiver

    I am thinking about buying a mini to use with my home theater system. I want to use iTunes to play through my audio receiver. I have a G5 and hooked it up through the media receiver for my 42" plasma. I got video and audio but it only plays audio through my TV speakers. Can I hook up the mini to my audio receiver so it will play through home theater speakers?

    yes. I need an AV switch. You can find one @ WalMart for ~$20.

    You have a setting incorrect in the outgoing mail settings. Either the port is wrong or the server is wrong.
    Please post what the server is and the port it is using. It should be something like POP.XXX.com/net or Mail.xxx.com/net.
