A couple days ago the audio on most of my HD channels has dropped out. It seems to be only on Dobly Digital channels. But at the same time, I can watch TNT on channel 245 and no audio, but switch to channel 75 (which is a mirror channel) and I get audio just fine. I can't figure out what the problem is, I checked all cables and went through the resetting process for my components. Any of you guys have a clue what may have happened? Thanks

Sorry, I don't know what the problem is, but 75 is not a direct mirror of 245. 75 is MPEG 2, and 245 is MPEG 4.


FWIW, audio works fine on both for me.

What model receiver? How is it hooked up?


You may want to take a look over at dbstalk.com also to see if anyone is having similar problems.

It's an HR20-100. Hooked up via HDMI. Thats what is so weird about the whole thing. I got audio on all channels up until a couple days ago. I'm still getting audio on the SD versions (had to add them back to the guide) and I guess the MPEG 2 feeds. Is the audio different on the mpeg 2 feed also? I even tried to hook up the sat receiver with a toslink cable to check if it was a handshake issue but still no audio. I'm starting to think it's a receiver issue (which sux since the DVR has shows that I won't be able to watch now). Thanks for the help, if you think there is anything else I can do let me know.

Tonov12,


I have been having the exact same problem with my HR20. I had it hooked up directly to my tv via HDMI for over a year with no problems. But when I got an AV receiver and turned on the Dolby Digital setting in the HR20, I started losing sound whenever I switched from DD to stereo channel AND vice versa. Resetting the HR20 solved the issue, but only for a couple of days and then it came back again.


I believe this is an issue with the HR20. Did you ever resolve your issue, or did you get a new DTV reciever? If so, which one and does it work?


Thanks.

HR20 hooked up via component and optical, I have on occasion have a channel glitch and lose audio, switching off it and back usually restores it though.
