Audio Snow - OH NO!

Hi folks!!!

I’ve had my WDTVLH for well over a year now an with y’all’s help have pretty much found a way to do everything I needed to.  Now I’m having an intermittent audio problem.

I recently went from using DigOpt from my WDTVLH to HDMI for the audio.  Now, maybe four or five times a week, my audio becomes 90% snow sound and 10% the audio I want to hear.  AND it’s across all audio streams:  the mp3s that had been playing for over a year flawlessly and YouTube videos.  I can remedy the problem by a hard reset and I believe a soft reset does the trick too.

Dig passthru via HDMI = yes

AutoDetect = yes

Summary lists, DD, DD+, DTS, DTHD, PCM all on channel 8 and all with sample bit rates of 32, 44, 48, 88 and 96

Thoughts?  Places to investigate?

Thanks again folks!!!

What firmware are you using? Also, have you try a different HDMI cable?

3.01.19 is the few level. Yes, I’ve tried an alt HDMI cable.

I had a very similar problem, audio sounded very distorted.   It was on a WMV file, a reboot fixed mine.

I have a feeling something is not right with the current firmware with the PCM audio fix.

I reported a issue Here    Please give Kudos if you are also see the same problem

Has anyone tried playing MP3’s or Pandora through a Receiver via HDMI and getting PCM multchannel light up on the receiver.  Mine is showing PCM 7.0    Regardless   if I tell the WDTVhub to pass PCM or not.
