Strange Sound

I am getting garbled sound from live TV in MCE. All other sound, ie my music is perfect . I have the ariel going into a STB and RF out to a Fusion plus card. The only way to fix the problem is to direct connect the ariel to the fusion card, once returned to the STB and RF out setup, its fine for a while.

Anybody else had this?

BTW the sound from the Fusion program never faulters, its only in MCE.

Peter

Re: Strange Sound

Pealer,

I don't really like piggy backing cables via in/out type arrangements on STB or cards becase you're adding to the degradation of the signal by going through extra connections/circuitry etc.

What I would recommend is Quad Shield RG6 for all antenna cables (I've got the luxury of running this from the arial to my MCE box). I would also look at removing the loop through the STB and getting yourself a splitter (one that's rated for digital) and using this instead.

I picked up all that was needed from my local Bunnings store.

Cheers

Matt.

Re: Strange Sound

Hi,

I have the exact same problem - however the way the cables are plugged in does nothing to fix this. The sound out goes out via optical to a decoder - the sound on most channels is garbles - seems doubled over and echoed. on a couple of channels its fine and on the digi radio its fine - so must be software based - any ideas??

Re: Strange Sound

ok - answered my own questions. I used a Fusion card and this is apparently the issue:

* Please note - All SD and HD channels are available to watch. However, until Microsoft includes support for AC3 audio, the HD channels will not have audio. If the customer would like to view HD channels with audio, they can use the supplied Fusion software which fully works under MCE2005. Once the MCE software has been fully setup, exit MCE and double click the Fusion HDTV icon on the desktop. This will then proceed to scan all available channels. Please be aware that the supplied Fusion HDTV remote control can only be used with the Fusion HDTV software and vice versa with the MCE remote control.


I can indeed watch the sd channels with no sound issues...bloody MS...
