On Demand Surround Sound doesn't work using X1 Xi3

I have a Pace XG1v1 DVR and the Pace Xi3 satallites. My problem is that when I watch a program using On Demand it will not play in Surround Sound. Works perfect on the main XG1v1 box but not the satellites. Everything works fine on live or recorded programs just not the On Demand on the Xi3s! I have the Xi3 going into a Vizio TV then the optical cable coming out of it into a Sony Receiver. Yes, I have swapped out the companion boxes, keeping everything else the same, and the main box pushes the surround sound through when using On Demand. It only happens with the companion boxes; all 3 that I have! Is this a known proplem or what setting can I change to fix it? Please help.

ComcastPhill,
This is the 3rd time deputylynch has posted this and I believe ComcastNick or ComcastZach has already reached out to him.
I am all for getting problems solved but lets not unnecessarily duplicate efforts.
The OP has already received a great deal of help and input on this issue.

I used disk permission repair to try to resolve this as well as a 'soft' restart. Still have a grayed-out mute checkbox in the sound section of system preferences.

What does the Adobe test page say?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

OP should first go through the wiki page of ALSA to ensure that his ALSA setup is working correctly. There aren't many sound setups that do not work under ALSA. If OP is relying on another sound setup then he should follow the appropriate wiki and tell us so.
@otto88: It would also help if you would try to explain what your intentions were. I'm assuming you merely want to have sound working and not configure some fancy setup. In that case you should just stick to a basic setup and follow the wiki step by step (don't skip any line and if you don't understand something, you figure that out or you ask people, don't just ignore it).
For instance I don't even have those /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf even though I have 2 sound devices, while you seem to only have 1 sound device
otto88 wrote:cat /proc/asound/modules

So your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf in that case is totally unnecessary, let alone that you don't even have the snd_mia module loaded so why do you even configure alsa to load it at index 1. You aren't supposed to simply copy and paste the configurations from the wiki. Those configurations are merely there to give you an idea on how to make your own configuration.
When you have ensured that your sound is been set up correctly then you can start with the most basic mplayer configuration. You keep the /etc/mplayer/example.cong configuration file totally commented out (like you have atm) and your ~/.mplayer/config should only contain
ao=alsa

I'm having problems with facebook notifications. The sound doesn't work but shows up in banner. Any suggestions? I've tried everything but restoring. Is it a phone problem or an app problem?

I am having a problem with facebook notifications. The sound doesn't work but appears as a banner. I've tried everything but restoring the phone. Is this a phone problem or an app problem? Has anybody experienced this problem and were they able to correct it?

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=3754

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.

I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

Make sure the Ring/Silent switch isn't showing a red bar or dot.
You can also try restarting or restoring the iPhone.

IMAP Account - Mail Sound doesn't work

Hi I'm a new user and I already checked in this forum if there was a solution about my problem, but I haven't found it.
If I set my account with IMAP protocol, incoming email sound doesn't work... if I set it with POP3 protocol, it works...
OS X ver. 10.6.7
Mail ver. 4.5 (1084)
Thanks!
PS sorry for my bad english...

I have used IMAP IDLE for years with no problem having new mail sound. However in the last few days the alert sound has stopped working. I guess its related to a software update we had recently.
Very annoying to loose the alert sound.

Macbook pro buzzing, sound doesn't work, disk is falsely full...

My 15 inch macbook pro has started buzzing a lot lately at random times. I've had it since 2009, but it's a 2008 model, and I don't know if it's just getting old and telling me that it's going to die soon, or if there's something I can do about it.
It also has other problems, like the sound doesn't work when I start it up (the volume icon is greyed out), and doesn't work again until I've restarted it twice.
Also, when I have programs open, it'll tell me that my disk is full and I only have a few mb of disk space left even if I had many GB available before I opened the programs. I tried fixing this on my own by not having multiple programs open at once, but the disk space won't come back until I restart the computer. It only started doing this a few months ago, and I don't know why.
I used to keep it on all the time and just let it sleep, but I've been shutting it down every day now, and I have the same problems. I don't know what's happening, if it's my fault, or if my computer is just dying, but I need it for animation school and professional photography so if possible I want a heads up if it's about to crash on me.
Thank you.

This worked for me
Reboot the Mac and as soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the Command+Option+P+R keys together
When you hear the boot sound again, the PRAM has been reset so let the Mac boot again as usual
At this point your Mac should boot again as usual and no longer have the black display, loading OS X as usual.

HT1657 I rented a movie and the sound doesn't work, how do I fix it?, who do I direct to for a complaint?

Hi, I rented warhorse HD, and the sound doesn't work, my itunes version is 10.6.1(7). How do I fix it or who do I direct to get my money back? Thank you

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

There are numerous reports of this issue happening on iPhones. It may be a glitch that will need a new update. Some find that a full shut-down and restart fixes that problem, but not always.
