Forum:DVD - HDMI no sound

I used DVDFAB6 to backup DVD - Video_TS folder on my Screenplay. The Files inside Video_TS folder play with sound on the computer. However when connected to TV using HDMI - No sound. Recorded files from Screenplay play sound correctly with the same HDMI connection on same TV.

I tried all possible options - 2 ch 5.1ch - different HDMI settings etc. No luck. Any ideas? I have R1.5 firmware. Thanx in advance.

 * Did you try different SP/DIF options? Also, some have found that the HDMI cable that came with the screenplay was not high quality enough for the sound to be passed through to the HDTV.  Although even with low quality cables, it generally will do 2 channel stereo.  Is it happening on all DVDs or just one?  What about other file types?  I would suggest trying a few things.  First, try connecting it to another TV.  Try connecting it via the Composite cables.  And try different audio options on the DVD itself (if it has 2 channel vs 5.1 vs dts, etc. etc.) --JCoug 07:22, November 22, 2009 (UTC)

Finally figured this out. Thanx for help. Turns out that SPDIFF output also relates to audio on HDMI port (not just SPDIFF connector). You have to select audio - 2 channel and SPIDIFF to HDMI -LPCM setting. The audio works just fine then. Otherwise audio from TV recordings and other audio files works - however audio from DVD - Video_TS folder doesn't work. Kinda strange bug. You would expect it to either work or not work for any files on the screenplay! _ Zampak
