Very strange. Suddenly last night the sound failed on the TV. Now that's not quite correct because we do have sound when replaying items recorded on the Sky box, both through the internal speakers and via the earphone jack.
Checked all the connections. Turned Sky box on and off. Nothing So what would cause sound on live tv to fail whilst it works ok on recorded material ? |

Firstly - is all your viewing by the Sky Box - or do you watch terrestrial tv, too. Is it that where the sound has gone? |

Same happened on the Cambridge-KingsX service. Driver had to stop the train and reboot it. I have that on a Networker service out of Victoria. What worried me was that an introductory message came up on the end-of-carriage display proclaiming that it was version 1.0. Back in the '90s the chap who put W3.1 on my PC told me never to use software with an even version (2.0 is even, 2.1 isn't) and that, for this purpose, 1 is an even number. That's what worried me when Web 2.0 was being bandied about and all sorts of places started using 2.0 for a variety of new/changed projects. Doomed, they were! -- Peter.

My Humax Satellite receiver does it sometimes. -- Dave W My Humax Foxsat box appeared to have its sound virtually inaudible over HDMI. After trying (almost) everything, I accidentally sat on the remote or something and the audio level changed. It turned out the volume level of the box over HDMI was affected by the boxes volume setting. I had just assumed HDMI sent the digital audio signal irrespective of volume level, which would be controlled by the end device, but I was obviously wrong. I think there must be a protocol to send required output volume over HDMI. This was confirmed when I noticed a slight audio blip at the normal volume level when switching things on in a certain order. Simon. |
