Xi3 surround sound issues with on demand

Hello, I have been poking around the forums but cannot find confirmation that there are surround issues with the Xi3 mini boxes?? The box does not pass a surround signal for on demand programming. My full size 'hub' box passes the surround signal properly. I started a show on the main box (got a 5.1 signal) continued it on the Xi3 box and only got 2.0. Live TV passes 5.1, DVR programs do was well, but On Demand does not. Any suggestions or ideas on whether this will be fixed?? My setup is:Xi3 using HDMI to Denon X3000 to TV using HDMIBox is set to surround. Thanks!

What is the make/model of your "full" size hub?2. How is the ful size hub connected to your AMP/TV?3. Have you swapped the locations of the Xi3 and the full size hub for testing comparisons?

Surround sound problems with new 15.11 software

Firstly I would like to give a big thankyou for getting the new IP recording software release out it is very welcome.
Unfortunately this has highlighted even more the surround sound issue for me. All my tests have been done over optical (if anyone could repeat the tests over HDMI it would be very much appreciated just to see if there is any difference).
Here are my findings so far with a small amount of testing.
BT TV on Demand
HD 5.1 movies appear to switch correctly
SD and HD none multi surround movies appear to play in stereo from the start needing the menu/surround workaround applying to get surround sound as is the same for the tv box sets and kids on demand.
IP Channels
HD sports channels i.e. BT Sports 1,2 and ESPN (I have hidden the SD versions so haven't tested them) appear to a switch to surround sound correctly
All other channels start in stereo and require the AD button on/off workaround to switch to surround sound.
IP Channel Recordings
Here lies the real problem for me now. Any IP channel recordings (not tested sports channels yet) start in stereo and require the AD on/off button workaround to switch to surround sound BUT as soon as you apply a fast forward or rewind when it starts to play again it has switched back to the stereo feed which is a much higher volume. I hope you can appreciate how annoying this gets that everytime you fast forward/rewind a recorded IP channel to sound switches and starts playing at a higher volume until the workaround is applied (everytime).
Obviously the freeview channels all appear to switch and work fine.
I am sure there is more to find but I just felt it worthwhile getting the issue highlighted AGAIN now the recording ability increases the visibility of this bug.

Maybe slightly harse as with more testing I am not sure if this is a youview/humax issue and is a problem on the catchup player on youview retail also. I have added below to my first post slightly with a few more findings and some clarity.
When I say surround sound what I am talking about is the Dolby Digital track (this can be 5.1 or 2.0 but in 2.0 format my amp can encode that with pro logic 2 and make it sound like a reasonable surround sound track through my speakers).
After testing through HDMI sound I find that this is even worse and in most cases will not transmit the Dolby 2.0 track at all even using the workarounds.
The freeview HD channels work flawlessly as do the BT sports HD channels (all 3 inc ESPN) (non-HD freeview channels do not appear to carry anything but standard stereo so can't switch no matter what). If anyone has a surround setup check the difference in volume between channel 001 (BBC non HD) and channel 101 (BBC HD) this I believe is the difference between the standard stereo channel and the dolby 2.0 stereo channel.
All IP channels (except sports) fail to automatically select the Dolby 2.0 soundtrack unless forced, as do the catch up channels (tested during programme playback as no Dolby during the adverts) and if recorded switch back to standard stereo everytime a skip/rewind step is made.
Most on-demand content fail to switch automatically to the Dolby 2.0 track but can be forced with the exception of some HD movies with 5.1 soundtracks that appear to work without a workaround.

5.1 Surround Sound Issue

5. Surround Sound Issue <span class="Apple-style-span">This is very odd. I've just bought a PCI express Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Sound Card and hooked it up to my pc. Next i got a digital cable and ran it from the xbox's Composite cable which has a socket for the Digital out and then put this into my sound card into the digital in. Next i turned on my xbox with the computer running and speakers on etc and i had full 5. surround sound for the intro xbox 360 video, now that i'm on the dashboard i have got no sound at all, and even when i went onto a game again i had no sound. Why would this be happening, every time i turn the xbox on the intro vid always has 5. from my speakers(these are running out from the sound card) and then after it always goes silent. Any ideas on what i can [email protected]

I want to share an update in case it helps anyone else.
I had downloaded and installed the Perian plug-in. (It installs in the preferences pane in the Mac's system settings.)
In previous versions of OS X, Perian was a sometimes essential to getting 5.1 surround from a Mac. I know I used it with great success in OS X 10.5 and 10.6.
However, I was having real troubles — some of them as I discussed above — with my sound preferences in 10.8.2.
After much mucking around, I stumbled upon the solution.
I removed Perian.
I know have no trouble at all. I use either Handbrake, and more recently iVi Pro, to convert movies for iTunes. With Perian removed, the only change I need to make in some movies is to select the surround sound track. Mac OS X will automatically change the settings if necessary in the MIDI player, and my Marantz NR 1603 does the rest.
If I play music, OS X changes the settings back to stereo, with no intervention.
The only setup that might be necessary for anyone else is to ensure that your MIDI player is set for your HDMI or optical audio (TOSLINK) device to use 48kHz.

Sound issue with apple tv

hi ,
I am getting sound issue with my apple tv recently. when you navigate around the apple tv menu, the sounds are there but when i try to play any video, the sound is not coming out. (Same with airplay)
The issue can be fix with restarting my apple TV. However, i want a permanent fix. it's not APPLE product at all to always restart to get the apple TV to play sound.
Anyone know any permanent fix? All the software are latest.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Vista SP 1 Sound Issues with Creative Drivers

Hi all, I recently switched to a X-Fi Elite Pro, with a Nvidia Video Card.
Windows Vista SP (32bit)
Intel Pentium D .8 Ghz
2gb RAM
XFX GeForce 8600 GT 52mb running
Creative X-Fi Elite Pro
(it's been a while since I've needed this kind of support so let me know if more info is needed)
Anyways, from the moment Vista plays the logon sound there is static crackling and chirping noises whenever there is audio playing at the same time as any kind of visual change on the screen (not every screen update). For example videos on websites that play them as plugins are especially static-y. However, playing a fullscreen game (i.e. World of Warcraft) does not produce the static.
Interestingly, I have now tried two different video cards. The Nvidia and now a ATI Radeon, both have the same identical problem. I first thought that it might just be a Nvidia Issue but this is not the case
I have checked for IRQ conflicts and none exist that I can find. I have updated Windows as much as I think I can. I've tried changing Creative drivers as well.
Any advice is appreciated.Message Edited by djscotty on 0-04-2009 05:7 [email protected]

Surround sound issue

I have a mono audio microphone. I recently discovered that I can set surround sound channels in Quicktime Pro, and export 3.1 surround sound tracks with the mono mic in the center channel, and the music in the left and right front surround speakers. The problem is, when I add the sound to the video, save it as one movie, and try to drag it into iDVD, I get an error. This is very frustrating, because the only other workaround is to have the mono audio come out of the left speaker! I have a very good surround system and it sounds bad when the dialogue is out of the left speaker.
Could Roxio Toast do the job? Any thoughts?

Mac Mini Late-2012 5.1 Surround Sound Issue

Hey guys, I'm running into some issues setting up 5.1 Surround sound on my mac mini. Heres my setup:
- Mac Mini -> HDMI -> Projector
- Mac Mini -> Digital Output (Toslink) -> Surround sound (Logitech Z906)
No matter what settings i try i cannot get 5.1 surround sound working. I've downloaded test tracks from dolby and all. Logitech is set to 5.1 and all. I've attempted to change the setup in audio MIDI to 48khz + 2ch-24Bit Integer , with no success. The 5.1 option inside of configure output is greyed out. Is there something i'm doing wrong? I've tried the 5.1 test tracks from Dolby through VLC.
Please help me, i've been working at this for nearly 2 days now. I've checked other answers with no sucess.
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, there is no configuration option for the S/PDIF interface. The following are the supported output formats:
2.0 (Stereo L/R)
5.1 (Dolby Digital - DVD bitstream or AC3 encoded containers only via QuickTime or VLC)
5.1 (DTS - DVD bitstream only)
To configure for proper 5.1 use, you need to set DVD Player to use Digital Out (Optical), not the Digital Out (HDMI). To configure VLC you need to set it to use Digital Out also, though you may have to fiddle with it to figure out which digital output is which as VLC's advanced configuration options aren't the most user friendly out there.
Once again, for the S/PDIF interface there are no configuration options available other than Stereo. 5.1 tracks will not play properly unless the apps used to play them back are capable of sending encoded digital audio. Dolby Digital and DTS are bitstream formats (encoded), and as such require that the app can work with those tracks.
Audio MIDI Setup does have the option to manually select Encoded Digital Audio in the format menu, but you should not do so as that disables regular stereo playback. The aforementioned apps will automatically switch between Encoded Digital Audio and Stereo, usually reverting to Stereo when playback is concluded.

Audigy 2 zs platnuim surround sound issues in

I just recently installed windows x64 and did all the routine drivers and windows updates that you do in a fresh install. I went to creative web site and pulled the uni-driver for x64 for the audigy 2 zs platnium and loaded it. Then I downloaded the counsel also and persued to set up 6. surround speakers. I can't get the sound to come out of all speakers it's sounds like it would be stuck on 2.
I don't know what i did wrong at all i'm new with x64 and I'm not sure what to do to get my surround sound back. I also downloaded the remote control software and when trying to install that it said it couldnt find it. System is A8v asus AMD3200 windows x64 sata raid dri've western digital, 2 gigs of ram, geforce 6800 gt, and of course the audigy 2 zs platnium.

/Re: Audigy 2 ZS and Surround Mixer in Windows 7? i got problem with recording any sound. Recorded sounds are terrible. Sometimes playing sounds are terrible too. i should restart pc for fix playing terrible sound.
i found 2 third-party driver but i didnt tried. Because of decription of 3rd-party driver ;
There is no DirectSound hardware acceleration on Windows XP 64-bit (x64)
The Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, disabling the DirectSound hardware acceleration and causing multichannel sound to be played only in the stereo channels (front left/right).
Workarounds:
- install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows XP.
- limit to less than 4GB the amount of RAM available to Windows.
- enable the ?Memory Hole? setting in the BIOS Setup, if your motherboard supports it.
Microphone issues on Windows 7/Vista 64-bit (x64) with 4GB?of RAM or more
Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, resulting in random issues with the Microphone (static, robotic or distorted voice, white noise).
Workarounds:
- install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows
- limit the RAM available to Windows to less than 4GB
- enable Memore Hole in BIOS Setup, if?your motherboard supports the setting

Earpieace / Sound Issues with Droid Razr M

Having issues with my phone, bought new in September 2012, since yesterday morning.
When I make a call using the earpiece, I cannot hear it ringing (like dialing out to them) and after they answer, I cannot hear the person on the other end when they speak. If I put it on speakerphone, they can hear me just fine and I can hear them. Also on speakerphone, I can hear it ringing (dialing out). When receiving a call, my ringtone audibly works, but then the same situation applies once I answer it - I cannot hear they, but they can hear me. Again, if I put it on speakerphone, both parties can hear each other. My alarm / ringtone works just fine, as well as all my other ringtone / notifications - such as text, etc. But, if I try to play a YouTube video, play music through Pandora, or play another audio / video file with sound, it does not produce any sound, even through headphones attached to the jack. It also plays sound when starting up - the "Droid".
Seems like a phone issue considering it is working for some things, but not for others. I have gone through and checked all settings, tried it in safe mode, did reboots, etc, but all to no avail. Anyone have any other troubleshooting suggestions, or are having the same problem? It seems I have going to have to have it replaced - hoping this would be a manufacturers defect replacement though and not something that I should have to use my insurance on!
Thanks!

Is it possible to burn a 5.1 surround sound DVD with Encore?

I have imported a video clip from Premiere with a 5.1 audio track but when I burned a DVD what I got was a stereo 2 track. Is there a setting that I'm missing to give me a 5.1 surround sound DVD?

I have just made a Dolby Digital 5.1 file in Audition without using Surcode.
