Hi Everyone -
Just upgraded from a WD TV Live to a WD TV Live Plus (wanted netflix and the new remote) and I’m having some issues.
My current setup is
WD TV Live
HDMI Cable
Samsung 42 inch TV
Optical Audio Cable
Denon Reciever
When I tell the WD TV to use audio over HDMI and tell it to auto detect the settings, it comes up with 2 channels only! That’s the first issue. If I manually go in and select AAC, DTS, Dolby Digital, etc. - no sound.
Then there’s the weird part. When I run some Surround sound testing files through the system, I don’t exactly get 2 channels - I get mashed up four channels - L, R, Center, and Rear. There is no RL and RR, and there is no sub channel.
If I plug the optical audio cable directly into the reciever, and set the WD TV live to optical, then the same files have all six channels working fine. The problem is the Denon reciever is an old on and only has one optical audio port - so I can’t connect all my devices directly.
Is there any way to get this working through HDMI? I just spent a good hour online and with the machine trying to get it workign, and no dice. I’m getting desperate!
Thanks
