Hi,

I have a clone 800HD box and up until yesterday I was using the scart lead to connect to my TV. I'm unable to use the DVI/HDMI cable that comes with the box as my problem is, that I have my TV mounted to the wall with all the HDMI and Scarts connected to the back, which come in behind the wall and out again through a hole at the bottom of the wall, therefore I can only use the HDMI cable which is going through the wall to my TV. I bought a DVI - HDMI adapter from ebay, which on the listing says carries sound, and going by feedback, has had no complaints over these adapters, yet I tried it last night and I wasn't receiving any audio. Is there a setting I should change?

For sound via the HDMI:-
Make sure AC3 Default is set to no
And AC3 downmix is set to yes

Hdmi cannot carry AC3 Signal
Hope this helps, mine is working with these settings.

A normal DVI connection will not carry audio so you will probably be limited to ycprb, the dreambox 800 dvi to hdmi adapter does carry audio although not digital audio.
