When I change my Sat Box from PCM to Dolby digital and the<br>
<br>
HDPVR Audio encoding to 4 (AC-3). The audio is significantly lagging behind the video (possibly 2 seconds)<br>
<br>
If I will not do the changes above (i.e Keep the cable box at PCM, and HDPVR at AAC)<br>
<br>
I will get digital sound but only 2 speakers not 5.1 The source is 5.1<br>
<br>
Is there a way to get 5.1 sound synced<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>You cannot send 5.1 PCM over SPDIF (either toslink or digital coax) - only stereo PCM is available. 5.1 can only be sent over TOSLINK compressed as AC3 or DTS. This is why you get only stereo when setting the box at PCM.<br>
<br>Potentially dumb question - If you hook up the Sat box directly to the TV and the audio to a surround receiver, do you still observe the 2 second offset? If so, it's the source's fault and not the HDPVR. <br>
