No sound from optical on NEW SkyHD+ box

Hi all, I've read a few posts already about this issue and I like many others cannot get surround sound from the Sky box via OPTICAL cable to my Pioneer surround sound amp system. The SkyHD+ box is brand new so was forced to buy an optical cable to link to my Pioneer AXD 7305 system. The Pioneer plays the 5.1 sound via blu ray no problem using Coaxal but as try as I may I cannot get the Sky box to deliver surround sound using optical. My set up is: Panasonic TXP42G20B TV linked to SkyHD box via HDMI cableSky box Sound Settings set to "Dolby D" for both Digital Audio AND Digital HDMISky Box connected to Pioneer AXD 7305 via NEW optical cable from OPTICAL OUT on Sky boxPioneer AXD 7305 set to "Video 1 OPTICAL input" I rang Sky Support & they just suggested the sound settings set to "Dolby D" which I have done. Please help if you can.

You may have tried it but have you set the sound settings to NORMAL. Mine is connected by optical to a soundbar and works with both settings.

No sound from optical output when using hdmi/dvi cable

I am trying to connect my apple tv2 to my B&O Beovision 7. I have used an HDMI to DVI cable which is working fine for the picture; but obviously DVI does not carry sound. I have therefore connected an optical cable to the digital optical output on the apple TV and put this through a converter to digital coax, which then goes in to the TV. I know the optical cable / converter set up works fine as I have tested it on my sky box and it works fine. But I get no sound from the apple TV - any ideas?

I hav exactly the same problem... Did you resolve this??

Sound blaster Z with no sound from Optical S/PDIF output

Hi,
I'm trying to record music from a Denon DTR-2000 Digital Audio Tape deck. I have connected a optical S/PDIF cable from Optical Out on the DAT player to the Optical In on the sound card but I'm not hearing any sound.
I've also tried with a CD/DVD player using optical out and still no sound.
My only concern is that whilst there is a definite click when the TOSLINK cable is plugged into the CD/DVD player it doesn't seen particularly well connected in the sound card.
If I start Smart Recorder with Source as Digital-In (SoundBlaster Z) and press Analyse there is no movement in the sound level bars. Presumably there should be.
Hope you can offer some help please.

Just to clear this up. The original cable was fine but the quality of the connectors left a lot to be desired. The plugs needed to be pushed in quite forcibly.

No sound from speakers on new U430 touch laptop

I just purchased a new Ideapad U430 touch laptop last week, but have never been able to get the speakers to work properly. Here's what I've tried so far: Checked sound settings to make sure speakers were not disabled.Updated the Realtek audio driver to latest version.Uninstalled and re-installed the Realtek audio driver.Ran tests through the the Realtek HD Sound Manager (speaker icons light up and test appears to run okay, but still no sound).Ran all available Windows updates.Tested headphone jack, and it always works fine.This has been the case since before I installed any software, so I doubt there are conficting issues there. Sometimes when I first start up the laptop, I'll briefly get a few seconds of scratch sound from the left speaker only. After a few seconds, it always cuts out and never comes back on until the next startup. I've never heard any noise from the right speaker. Here's what I'm running: Ideapad U430 touch running Windows 8.1. Intel i5-4200 processor, 8gb RAM, 64-bit.Driver: Realtek High Definition Audio 6.0.1.7133 Any suggestions? Since the sound does come out a bit scratchy and only from the left speaker, I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue.

What firmware version do you have? Latest version caused the left speaker to stop working randomly on my U430. Check the speaker wires connections if you're comfortable opening the laptop.

ATV3: no hdmi output but sound from optical is working

Hello,
I've ATV3 and connected to HD ready Samsung LCD. I'm getting 720p video since the LCD is HD ready and have no issue. Plus my ATV3 is connected to optical home theater DVD system.
I started getting a frequent issue with HDMI signal where there is no output but sound is still working from the optical output. The issue happens even on the main ATV3 menu not only when I play video!
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Check that the HDMI cable is correctly seated at both ends.
Try disconnecting the cable and connecting it again.
Try another HDMI cable.
Try the Apple TV with another TV

Possible to stream from PC to new G4 box?

Subject says it all really .....I've just bought a G4 BT youview box & would like to know how (if it can even be done), how I can stream video content to the BT youview box from my PC?

If you are just wanting to stream video to your tv from your pc, it is quite easy, provided that both the pc and the tv have HDMI ports. You just need a wifi adaptor to your pc (or I suppose you could use the ethernet cable, but mine is reserved for my YouView box.)
By using the HDMI cable, you can use the tv speakers for sound - just make the necessary adjustments on your pc settings.
Beware however that older titles when streamed don't fill a modern widescreen tv screen fully - either they are in 4:3 format or letterbox to preserve the original aspect ratio.
I'm not technically minded and I managed it from scratch as an experiment, so others should find it all easy too.

Audigy 2 Platinum Ex -- no sound from external

I've got internal system sounds, but no sound from the external I/O box. I've got standard RCA cables from my stereo to input3 on the box. I know I've got a signal there, because I can hear it through my other soundcard still installed if I switch to it. I just transferred the Audigy 2 from my old PC to a new one. It worked fine on the old PC.
I've unchecked all the mutes in the control panel, played with volume levels, still no sound. I've got input selected as "what you hear". I do not see a specific "input3" selection for source. I only installed the drivers for SB Audigy 2, none of the other stuff (Mediasource).
Any ideas for troubleshooting this dilemma?
Thanks, Jerry.

I don't have the External I/O module, but as a troubleshooting step, do the analog jacks on the rear of the A2ZS card work?

5) master reset settings: checked
After doing all these still I couldn't get my iPad volume back, only after I plugged my headphone I can hear sound. Any help is appreciated.

No sound from new speakers

We got a set of bose speakers, plugged everything in as instructed but there is no sound coming from the cable box. Got a new cable box and hdmi cable, still no sound. The bluray works great. What gives?

Since the Bose Cinemate Series II speaker system has only one usable active digital input.... the easiest way to have both the Blu-ray player and the cable box playing in the Bose without having to keep switching the optical cable back and forth between the two sources, is to have both of those devices hooked into the HDMI inputs on the TV and just have the Bose's optical cable running from the optical out on the TV into the optical input on the Bose.

Sony BDV-E570 - Cannot get sound from TV to Sony system using Digital Optical Cord

I get beautiful audio out of this system in FM Tuner, BD/DVD, and Internet Radio - no buzz whatsoever. However... the only way that I can get ANY audio from the TV or Cable box to come out of the Sony system is with RCA cables (the old style Red / White). This produces a horrible buzz but at least the TV sound comes out. The manual gives three different options for streaming TV audio through your Home Theater System. I purchased an 8' Rocketfish digital optical cable at Best Buy. It doesn't work at all! No audio at all. It fits, but doesn't quite want to "stay in"; is this normal???
I have the Sony BDV-E570 system, Vizio 46" TV (purchased 6 months ago) and a Comcast Digital HD cable box. All three have the same optical outlet and this cable doesn't "stay" in any of them. Does this sound like an Optical Cord issue? I really don't want to take this system down and lug it back to the store.
Thanks for any help!
Troy
Solved!
Go to Solution.

An optic cable should be able to fix the buzzing sound. If for some reason it isnt staying in the back of the system, then there could possibly be a falty connection in terms of the optic cable input or connector. Otherwise, as long as you have the audio cable hooked up, no matter which route you choose to connect them, and have your tv's audio set to external speakers you should be all set. If this continues to not work, I'd try calling either Geek Squad/Home Theater specialist or call Sony's technical line and see if they have any other suggestions. I myself am a Best Buy Home Theater specialist and this is my initial reaction to the issue at hand.

X-Fi Titanium: Almost no sound from center speaker in 5.1 mode (optical out)

Hi everybody,
I have searched the forum, but not found any post regarding this problem, so I'm gonna post myself.
First of all: I have an X-Fi Titanium that is connected to my Home Theatre Dolby Digital/DTS Decoder via optical cable, so I use the DTS Li've encoding feature of my X-Fi to get 5. surround sound.
But from the beginning I've had the following problem: When I start a game, the sound is perfectly normal, but suddenly (not at a specific action, just out of nowhere) the sound from my center speaker is almost inaudible, extremely dull. So I can still hear, for example, the explosions or voices that come from the sides or the back, but everything that is right in front of me or is played back only through the center is almost silent.
When I quit the game, start the THX-Console and click on each speaker, all of them except the center speaker play back the test sound (like "front left", "front right" or whatever it is in the English version, I have the German version).
Switching to another mode (game, entertainment or the third, don't know what it's called in the English version), resetting the sound card via the control panel or clicking on "Standard" (or maybe "Default" in the English software?) does not bring back the sound on the center speaker, all I can do is switch to two-speaker- or headphones-mode so the center speaker is not used. Even rebooting windows does not work. I haven't figured out yet what exactly helps, but usually after a while suddenly the center works again.
The only reliable solution is to reinstall the whole software and driver, but with the slow Creative servers, it always takes hours to download all updates with Auto-Update, and installing everything with each single file for each little software module isn't much faster either.
I must say that I am very disappointed by Creative. Before my X-Fi Titanium I had an X-Fi Platinum, and the drivers really sucked. I hoped that this was because at that time, the X-Fi series was still quite new. But almost nothing has really improved since then. I would like to have ONE installation routine for the whole software package, with checkboxes to choose what I want to install, and not only when using the original CD, but also with the update files for download. And, most of all, I want the driver to just work! Since the beginning, I've only had problems with these cards.
Anyway, I hope someone can help me on this. Thanks a lot in advance.

I think I see what is happening now.
When using the analog outputs (5.), you have to enable bass redirection, and set the front or back speakers to small in the "Bass Management" screen of the THX control panel.
Bass redirection does not send anything to the subwoofer if the front and back speakers are all set to large. There should be a bypass switch for this, so the bass can be sent to full size satellites and the subwoofer.
When using the spdif DDL output, my receiver would decode and send bass to the subwoofer on it's own.
Only buggy part I'm noticing now is that I lose all bass occasionally on boot, and must do an "Auto Detect..." in the "Speaker Configuration" screen of the THX control panel to get it back.

BI switching to new ECC 6.0 box from R/3 4.7 box, question on delta init?

Hi all,
Our BI has been already upgraded to 7.0. Currently connected to R/3 4.7.
Now a new box is made with ECC 6.0 and Oracle 8 which is a mirror copy of the r/3 4.7.Once the new box is ready the BI 7.0 connection will be switched from R/3 4.7 to the new box ECC 6.0.
My question is ...
In the R/3 4.7 the datasources were already initialized for delta..so the pointer for delta was already setup.
Now when we connect the new ECC box do I have to initialize delta again ? or would the new system recognize the pointer since it is a mirror copy from the old system?
pls advice

It´s a bit confusing what you write - I try to get your point:
- your 4.7 is running on Oracle 8 (VERY old, unsupported)
- you install a NEW system on ERP 6.0? Or do you upgrade your 4.7 copy?

Having been without my Mac for a month I've been using iCloud mail. The new mail boxes that I set up there do not automatically show up in Mail on my replacement Mac. Is there any way to transfer them from ICloud mail to Mail?

Having been without my Mac for a month I've been using iCloud mail.on a PC. The new mail boxes that I set up there do not automatically show up in Mail on my replacement Mac. Is there any way to transfer them from ICloud mail to Mail? Thanks.

sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer

you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
Peace, Clyde

When I select a sound email or video, decide I want to go to another video or email, the sound from the first video continues to completion before I can listen to my new selection. How can I stop this?

How do I stop the sound from a video or email when I want I click out of the video. Presently, the sound continues and I have to escape out to home screen to stop it.

Now as you may know there is some icons at the bottom of the mail app, at the top left conner you should have the inbox button and on the upper right conner you should have two arrows to shift between emails. If any of those options works try :
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings
If that does not work try to re add the account
Last but not least, restore as new.
Hope that helps.
