[mythtv-users] HDPVR S/PDIF troubles

[John J Tucker]

Good news,

It appears I have discovered what the problem is/was.  I had both the RCA/Analog cables and the S/PDIF cable connected at the same time and if I removed the RCA cables the HDPVR uses the S/PDIF as input.  With both sources cabled up no sound on the S/PDIF, only the S/PDIF and all is good.

Thanks again for all the replies.

adios,
jt
