Hi, I am running 13.2 xbmc on my mx2 box and getting static noise while playing digital Dolby or DTS files.
My soundbar has only optical toshlink so I got a SPDIF convertor. So my setup is: mx2 box is set to pass through PCM under audio settings, digital cable that came with box goes to SPDIF end, it's red end from SPDIF is connected to digital optical convertor and the other end from the convertor (toshlink) goes to sounbar.
Xbmc setting has 2 channels with pass through. It gives me 5.1 on DTS and Dolby digital but it has a static noise sound in addition to the audio . How can I remove that noise?
My soundbar cannot decode DTS or digital Dolby so I thought this may be the Reason but when I uncheck the receiver options, I get a stereo. Also I tried changing the pass through to SPDIF under box settings but the result is the same.
any help from the gurus will be highly appreciated.
Update: I was able to get rid of static by muting the TV volume and controlling it through my soundbar app. All is good now :-)
