As my particular TV is a samsung, I've been trying to see who else has had success with their Samsungs with this method, and I'm sure I've seen at least the following model years reported success: B, D, F.
#SAMSUNG TV WONT PLAY SOUND PS3#
With the PS3 and XBOX360, there are ways of ignoring the EDID being received from the TV, and just push the DD/DTS5.1 audio signal through(disabling Display Discovery on xbox, ), and others have reported success that when they pushed through the 5.1 signal to the TV, the TV would in turn passthrough the 5.1 signal to the AVR. There are ways of faking an EDID(Gefen HDMI Detective, stuff like that) If the TV tells the source device it can accept Dolby Digital 5.1/DTS, then the source device can send those signals to the TV. This is what normally happens with my devices. a PS3) that it can only accept 2 channel stereo audio, then the source device will only pass 2 channel stereo audio to it. AFAIK, when the TV is connected to something via HDMI, it does some kind of HDMI handshake and it passes an EDID to the source device, which tells the source device what video and audio capabilities the TV has, which then governs what the source device will send to the TV.
#SAMSUNG TV WONT PLAY SOUND MANUALS#
There are TVs out there which have been found to pass through 5.1 audio signals natively through their optical out( ) but unfortunately my TV doesn't seem to be one of them.Įven when TVs don't passthrough the 5.1 audio signal(and is documented in the manuals to not support 5.1 passthrough), people have found ways to "force" a 5.1 audio signal through, mainly by either by faking an EDID or ignoring the EDID. From what I can tell, this "feature" was introduced 2008/2009 as part of HDCP/HDMI agreements industry-wide, for reasons I'm not really sure of, but have seen copyright as a reason tossed around. I know that in general, most TVs nowadays are documented to only pass through DD5.1 through the optical output if the source is coming from the internal OTA TV tuner and if the source is any other HDMI connected device, only 2 channel audio will be passed through the optical output. Currently when the source is connected via HDMI, it will only pass through stereo 2 channel PCM sound. What I'm looking for is for the TV to output Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound to the AVR when the source is outputting a DD-encoded audio signal, whether that be from the TV OTA, HTPC, PS3 or XBOX. HTPC/PS3/XBOX360 -> HDMI cable -> TV -> Optical Cable -> AVR So basically, the connections look like this: I also have a HTPC, PS3 and XBOX 360 all connected to the TV via HDMI. My TV is a Samsung 55 Inch LCD TV(UA55ES6200) which I have connected to my AVR/Sound System(Logitech Z-5450) via an optical cable from the TV Optical Out. Excuse the long esssay, just wanted to document what I've learned, and what I've already tried.
