[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1210606, member: 82144"] Okay, that second screenshot seems to confirm that HDMI audio should be "AesInput1" in the SD plugin. There are a number of ways that I can imagine audio could go AWOL. First, if you're wanting to use the HDMI audio, I strongly recommend that you never attempt to manually add or edit tuning details. Results will be unpredictable. I say this because as you've already seen, that dialog/window/screen doesn't have the AES option available in the drop down. Technically it [I]may [/I]be possible to get HDMI audio by selecting HDMI #1 as the video source and automatic as the audio source. However that is strongly discouraged. It's much better to have the SD plugin create your channels with the correct settings from the start. Second, setting or changing the SD plugin video and audio source options does not affect existing channels. If you failed to select the appropriate values before the SD plugin created the channels, that would explain the problem. If you need to change those source options for any reason, you must first delete all channels in the TV Channels and Radio Channels sections. The SD plugin should recreate your channels with the correct settings after you restart the TV Server. Third, I'm fairly sure that your source (set top box, camera or whatever) will not support output on multiple digital video or audio output connectors simultaneously. In other words, you wouldn't be able to connect HDMI to the Colossus and component + S/PDIF to another TV, AV receiver or other device. If you've been trying to do that, that may explain the problem. Finally, it's always important to make sure you've checked the basics (codec settings in MediaPortal, volume + mute in MediaPortal and Windows etc.). If you don't think any of the above apply to you or all else fails, please: [LIST=1] [*]Close MP and MP Config. [*]Start the provided Watchdog tool. [*]Select option 1 or 2 ("report a bug...") and click proceed. [*]Demonstrate the problem (ie. try to view a couple of channels configured for HDMI audio). [*]Close MediaPortal. [*]Save the zip file created by the Watchdog tool. [*]Attach ("upload a file") the zip file to your next reply. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
