I have spent time looking for a solution on the forums. If I have missed something, I apologize. I will start by letting you in on my setup.
Everything is ran through HDMI into the receiver, then one HDMI to the TV. I have a PS2, xbox, cable box, and HD DVD player (yes, it's a big paper weight). I have a 5.1 setup with another pair of speakers on the back porch (Surround B). They are turned on when we have people over for parties.
I was watching TV with my son when I heard a click (same click heard when switching settings or inputs on the receiver). After this click, the sound was off on the receiver. My first reaction was thinking that either myself or my son had sat on the remote and changed a setting somehow. However, the remote was on the table and not within reach. Ever since then, I have had no sound.
I have tried a reset, using only optic, analog, and about every other way I could think of to attempt to get sound. The receiver will not even play a test tone at this point. I am sure it is a hardware problem but I am not very familiar with the interworkings of receivers...so I am stuck.
During this time of trial and error, I also noticed that video throught the HDMI's was very intertmittent. Some sources worked while others did not. The last time that I checked, I was able to get video from all sources. I'm not sure if the problems are related, but I wanted to give as much information as possible.
Any suggestions at all would be appreciated. I've recently took the cover off and looked around to see what I could see. All the fuses that I was able to located seemed to be fine. I also have a multi-meter which I could use to test some things if anyone had any suggestions on what to try.
