no sound after shutdown or deep standby

bartjunited · Sep 18th 2012

when i seem to shutdown the box completely via the BH menu or the box awakens after a deep standby i get no sound. I have to unplug & replug the HDMI cable.

Any ideas what this could be?

Hi bartjunited, a quick hello in introductions is required to use the forum.

I have the same issue, it usually occurs when the box crashes for example, changing the channel always will bring back the audio for me.

thanks mate

i made a post in the intros

i tried changing a channel & it didnt work so had to unplug the hdmi & replug

have you had to do this too?

is this just a known bug?

this morning when I turned on the box it had gone into a deep standby overnight so took a while to laod up but when it did i had no sound??

can you confirm that you have HDMI selected in the AV settings on your receiver? Also have a look at your TV's settings to see if there is any option to disable or enable sound through your HDMI - sometimes issues like this can be related to the TV rather than the receiver, so you can try adjusting these settings if the exist on your TV.

Yes hdmi is selected
Checked my panasonic tv and no option re disable hdmi sound
Seems to happen if the box shutsdown or crashes mainly

Hi m8, have you tried changing the audio on on your box when this happens?? when my box crashed or added a new plugin, i would have to sometimes change audio on my box

I never shutdown the box fully unless installing /uninstalling .. I leave it in standby, of course mine is an UNO with minimum consumption.
By shutting down the box completely it is closing everything incl.server ,etc...
I am not suggesting this is your case but just something to consider..

Only thing i triee is to change audio input from say hdmi to scart. What do u suggest.

When inserting usb should u reboot so that it enables it

I onky shutdown if i have an issue

**mutz nutz** · Sep 18th 2012

Have you tried changing the audio on your box after you have rebooted or or done hard restart? using a usb for what?

bartjunited · Sep 19th 2012

not sure what you mean by changing the audio???

re USB - if i insert a USB in the front to play movies off it should as a matter of best practice
1 - turn off the box (standby or full shutdown) before inserting the USB
2 - after inserting the USB do i need to reboot for the box to recognise it?

**cazuela** · Sep 19th 2012

depends on the USB, for example a tv stick does require a reboot.
If you have taken the usb out while the box is on then yes it needs a restart to recognise it again then to remap it again.
I´m not sure of the solo but the UNO on BH works in this manner.
btw I know its pretty obvious but ¿have you tried other Usb sticks??

bartjunited · Sep 19th 2012

yes have used other usb sticks

so as a best practice i think i will ensure box is off before inputting/disconnetcing any usbs & then reboot anyway

How do I try changing audio

s1m0nw · Sep 19th 2012

Press audio button on ur remote n select dolby surround

bartjunited · Sep 21st 2012

Tried the audio thing and that didn't work either

s1m0nw · Sep 21st 2012

have to tried using a different hdmi cable or scart?

bartjunited · Sep 21st 2012

No the HDMI is new so know it's not a problem

s1m0nw · Sep 21st 2012

no harm in trying mate - could be faulty best rule it out.

bartjunited · Sep 21st 2012

So when you've done this before have you turned the Dolby from on to off and back and the sound has come back

This is the way I have it set in UNO:

no sound after shutdown or deep standby
