high definition audio problem

fireblade · **24th June 2008, 01:23 AM**

Hello when I watch High definition channels 70, 12 and 90 I loose half the volume,
when watching AFL sometimes I loose all the commentary and can only hear sounds from the ground. I was expecting the sound quality on the HD channels to be an improvement not worse.
Does any one have a fix for this

Are you running a single digital link to a receiver?

Have you run the speaker setup wizard in VMC?

It sounds like your just getting the left & right channels of 5.1 broadcasts.

I think you are using analog sound to watch the digital channels and some bradcasts (e.g. AFL HD) seem to have that effect (e.g. sounds from the ground but no commentators). I have an SPDIF connection and an analog connection from my PC to the amplifier. The analog connection can result in that effect you describe. The SPDIF digital connection carries all the sound from all broadcasts however. Maybe try that, RB
