No Dolby Digital Output from connected WDTV Live

[MK_Slinky]

Hi all, has anyone experienced this issue before?

I have my WDTV Live SMP connected via HDMI v.1.4 to my Sony STR-DN1040 AV\Receiver but I am only getting PCM sound output!!! The Sony unit is not receiving any Dolby Digital signals from my SMP at all.

I have checked the audio settings on both devices and they appear to be configured correctly. It's not the HDMI lead as I have tried several.

Hopefully this screenshot may help diagnose my issue. I have a number of my movies recorded in this format but I'm not very knowledgeable about the various codecs. Should I be obtaining Dolby Digital sound from these files?

Codec Info Source - VLC Media Player

Puzzled!

Hi Quinnicus,

Thanks for your help earlier! Test 2 solved my problem!

One slight niggle though, now my soundtrack is fractionally out of sync! No biggy though I'll have tinker and see if I can eliminate it some how.
