Is it only when your using surround sound it crackles

Kev

I turned the surround sound off my tv but it still crackles.

Only seems to happen with channels that use ac3 audio tracks though.

The other audio channel won't crackle but also isn't surround sound and usually has voice over commentary.

Cheers.

Are you connected to tv via hd lead

Kev

[yhbt1mblk]

Yes mate connected the box to tv with a HDMI cable

Seems like I am not the only one with the problem but google hasn't found me a solution yet.

Crackling sound issue? - Openbox HD Receiver

Ok - Just switched around the hdmi cable and tried one that I use with an Xbox with no probs but it still hasn't helped.

Thanks for quick responses Kev

What firmware are you using? I'm on 1101030405 without this problem, either via hdmi to TV (downmixed by the telly) or optical spdif out to amp. There is some setting in the menu about digital sound I think, with 2 options to select. I have a feeling though it's something to do with turning AC3 off, which might cure your crackling, but will also remove any surround ability which kind of defeats your object probably.

Hi mate.

First had the problems with older firmware but they still happen with the newest firm from last month.

Yes there is two audio options but both have the problem unless I switch to non ac3 but they usually have commentary.

No mate, I'm talking about an option in the Setup menu under TV System, where you can set Digital Audio Out to BS (AC3) or LPCM. If you set it to LPCM it converts a Dolby stream to PCM output. This does work as I've just tried it and watched the Dolby symbol on my amp change to PCM after changing this setting on a channel that puts out AC3 and with that soundtrack selected. As I say before, you'll lose any surround but it might mean you can watch any channel without that scratchy audio you're getting

Hi mate.
Switched the setting to LPCM last night but still had the same crackling sound during some scenes.
Looks like I will just have to live with it.

I think the only answer to this one is a fix in a future firmware update

HI Kev,
How can I proceed to ENABLE english subtitle on my S 9 box?

The NEW firmware released early april, would you recommend me to go ahead and
install same on my box ?

On HD channels I noticed I do not have SOUND whereas the image is a beauty.

Thanks for your guidance.

Hi, regarding subtitles just enable / disable using the sub button on the remote

Hd no sound, it's not the image causing this as I've not had any problem with any image, have you had sound before with earlier images, if so just reinstall or check settings
