sound problems in HD

[lazzer]

Sound level and quality seems ok on scart 2 channel but when i switch to HDm2 channel the levels drop ?

Do you mean HDMI?

I've noticed a similar problem.

With my old Sky+ box via a scart, I had the tv volume at about 25-30.

Now with the Sky+ HD via a HDMI lead it needs to be around the 45-50 mark.

Yes same here.

Sound does tend to be quieter through and HDMI lead as opposed to SCART or coax, so it's not really a problem as such.

Its a problem if you have it on volume 50 and you can hardly what they are saying. Since my ACDC gig Friday i cant hear it all :icon_lol:
I think the problem may lie in the fact there is someting called an HDMI lead as mine is only scarted. :icon_lol:

There is a clear difference between HD and non HD channels on my father in laws set up (top end stereo with tv/skyHD hooked up to the speakers). He looked into and they said it was the fact that transmitting the HD picture quality took up more of the “bandwidth” (not the right word but can’t think how they phrased it) so therefore they turned the sound quality down to allow for the extra “data” taken up by the picture.

This issue is now fixed on the new Amstrad HD box I had installed a few mnths ago but was problem on my older Thomson box.

No wonder you cant tell the difference :icon_bigg If you are still running through SCART you arent viewing HD.

Isn't one of the main points of HD that you also get HD quality sound?
