Question About DAC Optical Audio cable

[[email protected]]

Hi Guys

I have taken DAC Optical Audio Cable for connecting my LED TV (Samsung UA40D5500RR) to Yamaha RX-v671 so that I can play movies from TV USB drive or play youtube clips on TV and and audio from my HT, but I feel sound is Suppressed? Any idea ?

Thanks

What do you mean bean by audio is suppressed? Low volume? Definitely it is not a problem with the optical cable since you can hear audio anyway. Play with your TVs audio settings.

Hi baijuxavior,

Thanks for the reply...... I played movies / songs connecting the USB in LED TV which is connected to my Yamaha RX-v671 & Wharf FS / SW150 but couldn't feel that sound is really great, maybe some setup problem as AMP & Speakers are new to me......but I am getting good sound when playing movies which on TataSky.......

Thanks
YP

Pfa??? didnt get it.. any who..
I am a an audioneub but just wanted to understand clearly before speaking abt it...anywho..just wanted to be clear.. but I guess you have a fair amount of idea abt the TV settings..HDMI/PCM/SPdif etc

I wrote pfa cause attached that image (maybe funny )

And Audio Settings on TV .....I am getting SPDIF > PCM

 

[rud3dawg]

I guess all I can say is.. you should be getting other settings right.. like Doolby Digital etc... (Thats what I remember from my TV though its grayed out) .. but I can always get back to you on this if unresolved by next weak when I get my receiver and its a Yams too.

But I would seriously hope you get a solution asap.. for your own heart's content

 

[YPS]

nope, Dolby Digital is disable for me too :-/

 

[rud3dawg]

nope, Dolby Digital is disable for me too :-/

Any chance you can use the HDMI to connect TV out to the receiver??

just for test purposes

 

[rud3dawg]

Check if the Dolby Digital is enabled now ???

just a hunch!!!

 

[YPS]

Yes Dolby Digital is enabled when playing movies from USB........

 

[rud3dawg]

Yes Dolby Digital is enabled when playing movies from USB........

And now is it clear ... I mean the sound ???as it is expected to be..when running the audio thru an HDMI???
I feel the Optical cable might be of a damaged... as far as my substantial knowledge goes I feel If you put one end to a glowing LED & face it properly to see almost the same amount of light on the other end & also dont see any visible cable tears leaking the light, The cable is fine. In that case you should start fidgeting with all the TV/Receiver settings that you can find.


Hope you get it solved man..

 

[YPS]

Hmmmm.....

Well maybe I was not able to explain my problem in my first post.......let me tell you again... Problem is the the sound which I get on -20 db while wathing TV through TataSky, I don't get the same while playing through USB for which I have connected the Optical Audio Cable....so for me I need to increase the volume till -10 db to get what I get on -20 db while watching TV through TataSky....

Thanks

Hope you guys have tried this option in TV while playing the USB movie that has DTS/DD audio.

Tools -> Audio Settings -> Select the DTS/DD/etc

I get a decent DTS sound for my Reciever from Sammy TV through the Optical Audio cable.

Ahh yess!! now I get it... but i guess I have very little knowledge in that part.. usually I do a trial and eliminate method..

 

[YPS]

Yepp......... I have enabled Dolby Digital and ya its sounds better than PCM no doubt......but the problem I stated above is same.....
