Nobody else had the same problem? Why did I lose 6 channel sound over HDMI?

Good day, everyone, I would really appreciate some diagnostic advice re the following problem. I have a Denon X4200w AVR, connected to a 2 year old Samsung smart TV via the HDMI ARC sockets on both units. Up until yesterday, I was able to feed Netflix 5.1 sound through my AVR from the TV output...

Faith is no laughing matter!

I have a pair of Xiaomi Bluetooth IEMs, which are small and snug. The problem is that the ear canal facing my pillow becomes compressed and blocks the sound.

Blu Ray Players are almost like hens teeth in our benighted country. I've been trying to find one but apart from the GMI brand which is not well regarded, I can't find anything. A mail order company called Desert Cart based in Dubai advertises in Rands and claims a 5 day delivery time. They...

Hi all, I have a Sony Blu Ray player which has suddenly gone silent. It outputs the video channels of DVDs, via HDMI, but no sound, neither from CDs. I have reset all settings to factory and checked the audio input settings on my AVR. I've tried the optical link to my AVR as well, no luck. I...

Brilliant joke at the expense of audiofools. Just think, not only can they be used as diffusorboflectors, but also as cable lifters, cable clamps, sound sculptures, microphonics dampers, loudspeaker lifters and angling devices and, push come to shove, wifey might find them handy in the laundry room.

So, you created a low resistance cable equivalent to 4,5 mm squared or about 12 AWG, with low inductance but with some capacitance. A good test would be to measure against any commercial cable with similar specs. Maybe one of the Kimber cables? But measuring against anything else without...

Isn't that the same as 'passthrough' setting on a media player? And isn't the 'Direct' setting on an AVR merely an absence of digitally processing the audio signal other than converting to an analogue signal? I have in the meantime established that there is a fault on the one media player box...

They are classical music files I bought from eClassics

Good morning, I need some guidance please. I have Flac multichannel recordings (5.1 surround) which I am trying to play back as surround sound in my Denon AVR X4200W. I am feeding the signal in as a 6 channel PCM via HDMI from a media player and the amp shows it is receiving multichannel input...

HI, the eClassical website offers 5.1 FLAC downloads at 96/24 resolution. How can I play these files as surround music? One, undesirable option, is to convert these to AC3 files with Audacity and play the stream out of a media player. The media player I use is too old to stream multichannel FLAC...

Slightly confusing: length is always the longest measurement, width is second longest, both measurements taken in the horizontal plane. Depth is a measurement taken in the vertical plane, from top to bottom. It is usually referred to as thickness on small, non liquid items. For a dust cover...

At last, someone who understands that you need to measure sound volume from a standard distance in order to make any sense of the statement 'I like it loud'. There are available smartphone apps that can give a db reading of the noise, sorry, sound in your listening space. It will be a better...

That is a question only you can decide.

Straightforward answer: No! Bentleys would cost a lot more if imported from a European country. You've got a good system already, are you unhappy with your sound?

Thanks for this tip of the R50k tipping point. It looks like the cost of the items will be comfortably below this level and the supplier has suggested I pay him via Paypal and he will use DHL to courier the items, very small and lightweight, to my door. I last used Paypal years ago and need to...

Thankyou, I'll keep you in mind.

Thank you very much for such specific and knowledgeable advice. This forum rules!
