Hi all! My problem is that I get no sound on HD channels through the TV speakers. The sound is okay (PCM) on SD channels through the TV speakers and I can receive DD (AC3) sound through my AV receiver. I am using HDMI from DirectTV HDDVR (HR10-250) to a Samsung HLR5567 and an optical cable from the DVR to the AV receiver. The audio setting on the DVR is set to Dolby Digital. Digital output in the menu on the Samsung is set to PCM and greyed-out. I have tried different cables and also tried connecting the optical cable from the digital out on the TV to the receiver. I know I can simply bypass the TV speakers but the Samsung has a digital audio decoder so they should work. I am not sure if the problem is with the DVR or the Samsung. Thanks in advance for your help.
Most people use component cables for HD video and a digital coax or optical cable for audio. As Jasper-010101 stated, DVI/HDMI still has some issues to work out.
