Hi,
Issue as described in title. I recently moved from an Onkyo TX-SR 309 setup in a 2.0 configuration to A Minx TV soundbase - I have to childproof and bookshelf speakers on stands are prone to toppling
The soundbase doesn't decode DTS, Dolby or any surround codec, which is what I expected - I was perfectly happy with my stereo setup with the Onkyo. However, I am having troubles which I suspect is related to not having any surround codec support.
My setup:-
HP Microserver N40L (Turion II)
2Gb RAM
Sapphire Radeon HD 6450
Toshiba 32' HDTV
Cambridge Audio Minx TV Soundbase
Connected as follows:-
PC(HDMI)->TV(TOSLINK)->Minx TV Soundbase
When I had the Onkyo AVR setup, I could see the various codecs supported, so I'm fairly confident the AMD drivers are installed OK.
I am only expecting analog 2.0, which is fine with me. Anywhere from 20-40 minutes into a video, sound becomes distorted and echoey for 30 seconds before returning to normal. Sometimes it stops by restarting the video, sometimes not. This can happen multiple times in a video.
TV volume definitely turned down.
Settings as follows:-
I've had the same problem with many different audio settings - any suggestions appreciated. Luckily, I can still return the soundbase as I've only had it a week.
Cheers.
