Default Audio Issues On Dreambox 500 C

Hi all is anyone else having somewhat distorted audio on the dreambox 500, Its evident on Tv channels, also some mp3s, and some MPG movies.

I know my audio setup is ok before anyone asks as are the cables to the dreambox, I haver tried anoother Dreambox and the same is evident, Yet sky box, cd player and so on on same port is fine. I am wondering if its some decoder software or driver software for the dream that has issues.

I have a 500-c and 500-s, i don't get any distortion at all mate.

Might be a setting somewhere on the box that your audio equipment is unhappy with, just have a play.

Ok Its more a DAC with wrong samplerate distortion, rather than overload on a audio input, and its evident with certain mp3s as well although they play fine on computer, Zen, and other media players.

Ok here is my latest finding, I have connected the dreambox to an external audio DAC via Optical out "TOSLINK", It seems that the sample output rate on the optical out is 48000 as opposed to 41000 which is the home audio format, i am wondering if there is a way to change this, as this might be effecting the onboard DACS on the dreambox itsself, through the external DACS the sound is perfect.

Any Ideas

In the system settings disable the 'enable fast zapping' and this should fix the problem.
