What exactly do you mean ?
Give more details .
Do you have latest patch ?
Low sound or noise in specific channels and which ?
What have you selected in Menu - TV Setup - Digital Audio Output ?

[lee1974]

thanks for the replys.
Running latest patch and the sound is very high pitched no bass. ive tried both raw and lpcm but both are the same

[blackdevil]

Can you try another HDMI cable or select another HDMI input of TV or try receiver to another TV ?

[lee1974]

yes tried diff cable and tvs ok as i have a hivion and a sky hd as well as xbox and ps3 all ok. not tried scart yet though

[lee1974]

scart sound is ok

The sound is ok if you use the optical or scart but if you use the HDMI its rubbish.

I had a problem when I first got the Box that was using an expensive HDMI cable swapped for a cheap £3.99 one I had bought for my daughters laptop and it was fine.

Can't recreate the problem now but the box has been flashed and factory reset a few times now.

Hi Lee, just to answer your first question... NO, it isn't just you... i am also having the audio issues on my main tv (Phillips) i have the tv audio up full on the box (number 32) and on the tv number 50 (tv vol goes from 0 to 100 and 20 is usually loud enough on virmin and previous spider 9000) it sounds like there is interference and almost like other audio is trying to bleed through like its out of frequency... also if there is background music on whatever channel i am watching, the music blasts through and you cant hear the talking.

I nearly returned the box before i tried it on another tv, but when i did the audio was fine, i have also tried a friends box on my main tv with the same results so it seems there is a definite audio issue with some tv's via the HDMI, i have tried 4 different HDMI cables all with the same results.

Maybe somebody could research this further as i have never had issues with the tv with any other STB and am still not having issues with my current virmin and spider 9000.

I did try my one on two different makes of Tv and had the same results.
I even returned the box back to sponsor who was very helpful and he confirmed same problem with the audio.

The lousy audio was the first thing i noticed when i first used my 6000HD, very 'tinny' sound. Used the same HDMI lead iv'e been using for four years in a Technomate. Had to switch to optical output, and that is fine.

[blackdevil]

You all use HDMI cable direct to your TV without an amplifier, HDMI switcher,splitter or anything like that ?

[lee1974]

yes for me straight to the telly (samsung)

[welshpaddy]

got spiderbox 9000hd and samsung tv model ps50b850y1 connected with hdmi lead sometimes when i switch on the audio is distorted i go into menu and switch to scart although no scart is connected and then switch back to hdmi and it is then ok dont know why this happens

[Shawzy]

HDMI straight to tv for me to, no amp, no switcher.... :(

It´s a common fact that any TV´s sound system (the built in amplifier and speakers) is evidently inferior as compared to an independent outside sound system. It should be. The price of relevant sound components in a TV is much less than a price of an amplifier box + speakers. I´ve had similar problems with TV sound from satellite receivers, trying different cables and sat receivers´ sound outputs. Since I only use sat receiver > outside sound unit connection (either digital optical or digital coaxial) no more sound problems.

Can somebody with this problem program a 2 minutes record and then upload it in sendspace ?
He can send me the link in my pm.
Thanks.
