HDMI Audio static FIOS TV only, not DVD or other audio

My second Verizon FIOS set top box (STB) is connected to my home theater system via HDMI, so HDMI out on STB to HDMI in on the home theater box.
When I watch a DVD, watch a movie on Netflix or listen to audio on Pandora, I have no audio issues. When I switch to Verizon FIOS the audio has a lot of static to the point where it is hard to recognize the voice. The bummer is that it used to work fine before. Video is fine, no issues.
I have tried different HDMI cables, air blown all the ports so they are clean, made sure all connections are tight. The issue has not been resolved. There are no abnormal electricity sources nearby other than a wall plug. The STB sits on a wooden shelf and doesnt contact anything else that is metal. Can you help me figure out what the issue is and how to solve it?
The audio and video on the main STB unit (which is also the DVR) is perfectly fine
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The dynamic range fixed it, thanks

Hooked up hdmi to hdtv and get only audio and a "profiler" screen view; cannot play dvd on HDTV

Hooked up mini display port / HDMI to my TV and only get audio of DVD. Do see original apple desktop image and image of selected "window" display. cannot manipulate "window" menu. How do I get video and audion from DVD?

Funny things happen you are using an external display in mirroring mode. I generally avoid it. My preference is to set my MBP up to my monitor or HDTV with a wireless mouse and keyboard and use the laptop in lid shut mode.
If you've never done this, hook up a wireless mouse and keyboard and hook it up to your TV. Shut the lid of the MBP and after say 10 seconds hit the keyboard or wiggle the mouse. The laptop will now only be driving the external display so if you change your settings to that of the TV all should be good!

HDMI Audio not working on Q190 (along with all higher level Audio Formats)

Help, I have been given the run around via support, I cannot get the HDMI audio to work with my Pioneer Surround Sound, only the Intel display audio shows in control panel (Win 8 X64) and the RealteK S/P Dif port and it is not capable of supporting 7.1 sound or bitstreaming or DTS, Dolby HD, Etc. Tec support appears not capable of fixing the issue and wanted to send me to software support and pay. I have only had the machine for 4 days and it has never supported higher level sound.
Every other device I have (had or currently) connected to the receiver works just fine. I have to figure this out or return the machine, the audio is the most important aspect for me. Besides when you advertise 7.1 support the machine you sell should be able to do it.

Hey guys,
I have had this Q190 with the Celeron CPU since last week and I am using XBMC Frodo and the HDMI is connected to my AVR Onkyo TX-NR809 and from the Onkyo to the TV. And the sound is 7.1 with PLIIZ. It works fine. I think it may be some driver problem because Realtek Audio which is in the Q190 works fine with the Win8 preinstalled. Realtek is kind of bad with driver because I lost my wifi after upgrading to Win 8.1. After a few days with no wifi, I found out that the driver was bad, yes it was a Realtek wifi driver but posted by Lenovo for W 8.1.
I have another friend who also just bought the Q190 and he reported no audio problem so I think it is just a matter of trouble shooting the drive and configuration. I do love the form factor of the Q190.

HDMI audio works only with pavucontrol

I am having a weird problem with my HDMI audio output.
I can have sound only if I use pavucontrol to switch the per app output to HDMI. If I make HDMI as my default device, it would not work anymore until I delete .config/pulse and restart gdm. I must also make sure that before I close BOTH the app and pavucontrol, the per app output is switched back to my PCI-E sound card too.
I tried not to use pulseaudio to select the device, but use mplayer or jack directly (in GNOME or without gdm disabled, which means pulseaudio is not started), HDMI audio does not work at all too.
I am using a Radeon Evergreen with open source driver. Can anyone tell which part does the bug belong to, or if this is a setting issue?

ATI HDMI Audio Not Working

Hi. I'm trying to get my ATI HDMI audio working. I've followed the instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#HDMI_Audio and running "aplay -D plughw:1,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" outputs no errors nor any sound on my TV. Adding radeon.audio=1 to my syslinux.cfg and rebooting results in no changes.
I have also followed the instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … s_Not_Work which also resulted in no changes. One note though. When I select my HDMI sound card in alsamixer, there is only one sound bar shown entitled S/PDIF. I can mute or unmute it but not increase the volume from 0. No idea if this matters.
Also, I'm using the xf86-video-ati driver.
aplay -l

Any help would be appreciated, I'm stumped and I would love to get this fixed so I can get xbmc working and fully drop windows.

I'm not entirely sure how I would go about doing that, or if I would need to considering the command I run to test the HDMI audio...
aplay -D plughw:1,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
... is, I'm assuming, sending the sound directly through my HDMI due to plughw:1,3 specifying that. I put it as 1,3 after running aplay -l.

No HDMI audio out option, only Airplay

Hi everyone,
Hoping to get some enlightenment here as I am at my wits end. Here's my setup:
Macbook Pro (mid 2011 era)
Belkin MDP to HDMI converter
Monoprice HDMI cable to Denon AV-1912 receiver
Prior to upgrading to Mavericks and numerous updates to my Apple TV, I was able to plug in to my Denon receiver via HDMI and get display and sound options pop up through System Preferences, no problem. Everything worked beautifully. So there is no issue with my sound card not supporting HDMI.
Now, whenever I try to connect through HDMI, I can only get the display to work. Trying to bypass the internal speakers through the Sound panel in System Preferences yields no results. My Denon receiver only shows up in the Sound Output panel as an Airplay option, not as HDMI. When I select it as Airplay, the receiver automatically switches to the Airplay (Internet Radio) source and kills the display connection it had made with HDMI.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to either:
a) Disable Airplay in my Denon receiver OR more apropos to this forum,
b) Get HDMI restored as an option in my Sound Output preferences.
Any suggestions welcomed!
Thanks,
Jeff

I have the same issue. Setup is:
-- mid-2012 MBP (non-retina) running 10.8.5 (including the very latest supplemental 10.8.5 which was supposed to fix a different issue with an HDMI audio connection not working after a Mac's wakeup from sleep).
-- MBP connected to a Harman Kardon BDS 577 AV receiver's HDMI input (this is a 5.1 receiver, connected to 5.1 speakers).
-- MBP and receiver connected via PNY mini-DP-to-HDMI adapter, which both its Amazon description & review explicitly say supports passthrough audio on Macs, and a high quality AmazonBasics HDMI cable (ditto).
-- The receiver's HDMI output is connected to an Epson EH-TW3200 projector's HDMI input (projector is Euro version of the US Epson 8345; it has no audio whatsoever).
-- The Epson is set to mirror the MBP display, and the MBP's internal display resolution is set to match the Epson's (1080p), which appears as "Epson PJ" in the menubar's Displays pulldown.
1) The issue we're having here is very clearly different from the one with the HDMI connection not working after wakeup (numerous thread about it in Apple Discussions & other forums), since there the HDMI option for sound output device is available (in the Sound Preferences panel, the equiv. menu-bar shortcut and in Audio MIDI Setup and VLC Audio --> Audio Device submenu), but didn't work properly after wakeup.
2) With our issue, when everything is connected but the projector is turned off, sound works fine. I have the option to select HDMI in all the aforementioned locations (the device is called "HDMI TV"), and, when chosen, sound is properly output via the AV receiver according to the source material (5.1 with both DTS and AC3 encodings work fine, as does stereo).
3) As soon as the projector is turned on, video appears fine as expected on the projector, mirroring the MBP's screen, but the HDMI option disappears from all above lists of sound output devices. If I was in the middle of a movie on VLC, audio switches to the builtin speakers on the MBP.
4) Trying to trick the sytem by defining a new audio aggregate device in Audio MIDI Setup when the projector is off, having it include the HDMI device, and then trying to choose it when the projector is on doesn't work -- the aggregate device is grayed out and can't be chosen.
5) TjoffenF's solution above doesn't help me: For me VLC behaves exactly like the rest of the system, so using it doesn't help. I tried several versions of VLC, including old (1.1.2) & new (2.0.9, 2.1.4).
6) Jackmo69's solution doesn't work for me either: The order the various components are switched on and/or connected doesn't matter. As soon as the projector is on, HDMI audio option simply disappears and the MBP stops using the HDMI port for audio.
7) Generally, this seems to be a problem with something called EDID. This is the protocol which HDMI and DVI devices use to tell each other about their capabilities (resolution, audio supported, etc.). Somehow the Mac thinks the HDMI device it is attached to has no audio at all, so it falls back to its internal speakers. I initially thought the problem was with my AV receiver -- whether or not the projector is turned on, it should report its own EDID, not the projector's, so I shouldn't have seen the "Epson PJ" option, right?
8) I contacted the local tech support for Harman Kardon. They hadn't heard of an issue with their receiver, but don't have Macs. From their POV, which sounded reasonable, if the issue occured with a PC laptop, they'd agree that their equipment was the culprit. They lent me a a Windows7 laptop with a builtin HDMI port (Dell Studio 1558) for a week to test.
I performed hours of experiments with it, replacing the MBP with the Dell, all other things in the setup being identical with the exception of the PNY adapter (same AV receiver, same projector, same cables, same VLC version, same source files).
9) The result:
With the Dell, all the source files output audio via HDMI to the receiver with no issues, and turning the projector on or off has no effect on the audio. To me, this proves that the issue is the Mac, probably an HDMI driver issue. AFAIK the PNY & similar adapter are simple mechanical adapters (the actual video signals are identical), so given it transmits audio fine from the MBP (when the projector is off) I don't see how the adapter could be the problem (I don't own a TV, so couldn't test with one).
10) Extensive googling yielded a couple other people with similar problems using various Macs (earlier but still post-2009 MBs and MBPs as well as a Mac mini), projectors and AV receivers. Their solutions were to (a) run TOSLINK audio seperately from the Mac to the receiver (not an option for me, since my receiver accepts TOSLINK only for an audio-only source) or (b) use an EDID emulator device, which spoofs the EDID so the Mac will agree. There was at least one person who had the issue appear after upgrading fromOS X 10.6 to 10.8 (Mac and other components didn't change), which is yet another indication this is a Mac driver issue.
10) I really don't like the idea of EDID emulators; it's a kludgy solution (needs its own power supply and additional HDMI cable), expensive ($100-$150), and not available locally. Reports on them say they don't always work.
11) I'm very much ****** at Apple at this point. The only solution I can see right now is to buy a media streamer with HDMI output, to circumvent the problem -- not an ideal solution, since it means adding a middleman, but cheaper and and more likely to work then an EDID emulator. (Incidentally, an Apple TV wouldn''t work for me as a streamer because it supports very few video codecs & file types -- not that I'd be happy to give Apple more money to fix a problem they're reponsible for.)
If anyone has since found another solution, I'd realy appreciate hearing about it.

Dv73060us connected to t v via HDMI Audio only from PC Help, please OS is Windows 7

I have connected my pc , using HDMI cable, to the TV, Everything seems to work well except for the fact that the audio is through the pc only. I went to control panel. hardware, sound and made the hdmi option the default.Audio still from pc only. Someone's help, please

wcrawf,
The brand of TV makes a difference sometmes... older Philips TVs in particular are fussy and have their own setup in the control panels (cannot recall where, this is from a thread from last ... Oct? I think I can find it if you need the info).
There is an "Order of Events" that needs to be followed; it is more important sometimes than others.
If the issue is a "simple one", then this may help as a "Check List":
Resolving HDMI Display and Sound Issues
Reprint of an earlier post - something here may work:
NOTE: If this does work, the "Hard Reset" rule applies - it should "stick", that is, you shouldn't have to do it this way each time - it's just a matter of getting it set up.
Order of Events - A "Hard Reset" of the HDMI Audio Setup:
Enable Digital Audio (S/PDIF)
Connect HDMI from computer toTV’s HDMI/DVI input port
Set your TV input to HDMI/DVI input. (You won’t have sound yet.)
Turn of the TV. Shut down the computer.
Boot the computer - wait for it to boot all the way. Log in.
Sound should be "dead" - no system sounds at this point.
All the audio should be going through the HDMI port.
If not, and you are getting sound, try setting "Digital Audio" setting (if you have it) as an option, [quote] "although this should not be necessary."
Remove any headphones and any other non-HDMI output from computer and Reboot.
If you get sound, it's still not ready - play with the sound output.
When you get it to the point where the sound is "dead" (while the HDMI port is still connected) after you reboot, you are ready.
Turn on the TV.
Check for Sound through the HDMI port. Should be working.
The FIX-ALL Link for HDMI:
I could take credit for this - but, you know - this is just not my area of expertise... Your solution may be here - almost everything that can happen to HDMI has happened to someone at some point. I've used this forum before - it's a great reference.

[SOLVED] HDMI audio not functioning

I'm having trouble getting audio working. My setup is audio through HDMI, but I actually don't have a way to test audio through any other means, so I'm not sure if HDMI has anything to do with the problem.
My onboard video chipset is ATI Radeon HD 4250, and so I have added "radeon.audio=1" to my GRUB's boot entry, however nothing seemed to change. Where I seem to be stuck is that aplay will not pick up any sound devices:
$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:252: no soundcards found...
From http://lkubuntu.wordpress.com/2011/07/2 … eshooting/ I was able to yield the following:
$ lspci -nn | grep '04[80][13]'
00:14.2 Audio device [0403]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) [1002:4383] (rev 40)
01:05.1 Audio device [0403]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880 HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 4200 Series] [1002:970f]
From some commands in the ALSA page at the wiki:
$ lsmod | grep '^snd' | column -t
$
$ ls -l /dev/snd
ls: cannot access /dev/snd: No such file or directory
No idea why almost all of the commands I'm seeing are returning the opposite of what they should. Any ideas?

[SOLVED] HDMI audio not working (worked in Ubuntu)

hi there,
I have very new hardware (Intel Core i5 2500, using the internal GPU) and already knew that it would probably take me a while to get everything working (especially the GPU). I first tried Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha with the xorg-edgers ppa, which already supported the new GPU, including 3D acceleration... unfortunately, it made my X server crash about every 15 minutes. Having heard about ArchLinux before I thought I should give it a try. Turned out the packages that I need for my GPU are only available in testing (xf86-video-intel 2.14, Mesa 7.10, Kernel 2.6.37), so I'm running on the testing repository right now. But I gotta say that I'm pretty impressed by ArchLinux, Compiz is working perfectly smooth and the whole system feels way faster than Ubuntu.
Now regarding my problem, I can't get my HDMI audio to work. Usually I would have said to myself "well, ALSA doesn't support it yet, I guess I'm gonna have to wait" . But the reason I'm writing this thread anyway is that it was working fine in Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha. In Ubuntu, I could use the alsa device hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=2 for HDMI audio. The strange thing is, this device doesn't exist on my ArchLinux system. Here is my "aplay -L" output.

In Ubuntu, I also had hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=1 and hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=2. So my question is, why are those missing on my system? Kernel and ALSA are the same version (2.6.37 / 1.0.23)!? I also already downloaded a Daily Snapshot of ALSA and did a ./configure, make, sudo make install - still no luck. And btw, DEV=0 outputs sound through my default speakers...

G62-225DX. HDMI audio not working.

Computer recognizes HDMI port and video is working to TV. Trying to change to default in sound settings but won't change. When I test sound error message "failed to play test tone"

Hi Kevin,
See if this will help:
1. Turn off both systems (TV and PC).
2. Connect HDMI cable to the TV and PC.
3. Turn on TV and select correct HDMI input.
4. Turn on your PC.
Open "Control Panel , Sound". See if you can now select TV (HDMI audio) as the correct playback device.

Z87I HDMI Audio "Not plugged in" Windows 8.1.

So i got this mainboard for a HTPC build, and all seems to work fine except no HDMI audio.
It tells that it is not plugged in, but enables the Optical out, although nothing is connected there, and besides, I need HDMI.
I found a lot of others with similar issues, but not with this board, and not with integrated graphics.
Any ideas, I'm going nuts on this, I have another build with an Asus card and here it works perfectly.

I would suggest you try installing the latest drivers for your motherboard from MSI's website. Some new chipset and VGA drivers were added for your motherboard a few days ago supporting Windows 8.1: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z87I.html.

HDMI Audio static FIOS TV only, not DVD or other audio
