Hello,

when I connect optically my TV to my M-Audio transit
I get lots of ghosts/distortions...

When I enter my MiniDisc player and out to the Transit,
all is fine !


What can I do wrong ?


Best regards,


Gerardus

Same from the Blu-Ray player...

Can it be due to a DTS 5.1 signal not dealt with the M-Audio Transit ?

Try that again, slightly different words.

To me TV ghosts relate to video, not audio.

Is the signal audible as music at all?

If you get something like white noise, then it is likely that you have a
surround sound signal, and need an appropriate decoder.

Thanks !

You recognise the song but very distorted...
When you play a DVD !

But I tried a CD and it is OK !!

Surely a surround problem then.
Nice that my MD-players can clean-it...


Best wishes for 2011

That is pretty weird. Sometimes CD/DVD drives will play CDs well and skip a
lot, or not even play DVDs, or vice-versa.

But I tried a CD and it is OK !!

Maybe, maybe not. If you send the digital stream for surround to a
non-surround digital input, you will either hear nothing, or some very nice,
very pure white noise. You won't be able to recognize a thing!

Look at your DVD player or DVD player software and make sure that 2-channel
PCM output has been selected.

What are you using to decode the surround signal? The M-Audio does not
have any dts or AC3 decoding internally, so you will have to do it in
software.

Thanks again !

I selected 2-channel PCM output (as opposed to bitstream); with no change.

However, the Blu-Ray player also sends some sound to the TV through HDMI !

The DVD says MPEG Stereo to qualify the sound...


Using the TV optical out is also OK with CDs in the Blu-Ray player !

In both case going through the MD recorder in through mode "solves" the
problem...


Set-up of Blu-Ray players and TVs are quite intricate theses days :-( !
