The biggest problem is no sound. My main receiver (onkyo 705) is in for repairs so I'm using an older receiver that only has HDMI passthru. And since it's being passed thru to a projector, thats no good. So I'd like to be able to use the optical output. I've got it connected but there's no sound. Is there a modification I need to make to a file somewhere?
Many thanks!
I'm having the same problem again
I changed to another receiver that isn't just HDMI pass-through, so if there is sound on the HDMI port, it would play. I have confirmed this by connecting my PS3 to that same port and I get audio.
I do have audio on the optical S/PDIF output, but only for digital sources, like movies with AC3 soundtracks. MP3s and movies with simple stereo soundtracks have no audio on either the HDMI or the optical.
SO I have two problems: No audio on analog sources and no audio on at all on HDMI. I rechecked alsamixer and it looks just like I left it.
For the following log, I tried to play a movie with a stereo ST, then I tried to play an MP3, then I finally played a movie with an AC3 ST, which played. I also have no nav sounds.
