I don't see any audio setting on my satellite (Disk Network 311) . The
remote has volume buttons, but they raise the volume on my TV, even if
I press the SAT button on the remote before using the vol. buttons.

The audio feed is coming through an RCA cord to the analog SAT in on my
5.1.

Can you put an MP3 / CD player into the SAT in the 5.1?
That may require an 3.5 stereo mini plug to RCA pair
cable from Walmart or Rshack, but will help determine if your
overdriving the input on the 5.1.
Start with a low volume on the player and go up.
if the 5.1 starts to do the intermittant thing when player
is at high volume but is OK at low volume then you need
to get a pair of attenuators to go between the SAT receiver
and the 5.1 Radio Shack or PartsExpress can supply them.
You may have to stack a couple to reach a value that the 5.1 is
comfortable with.
