X Box 5.1 problem (1 Viewer)

[Dave Nibeck]

Hooked up X box with toslink. When X-box is turned on, I get audio information. This tells me my connection is good. As soon as I insert a game, I get increadible noise and the receiver shuts down.
Very frusted....
Anyone ever heard of this?
(Yes, I did enable 5.1 and dts)

And the Dolby Digital indicator on your reciever lights up as well??? What type of reciever/decoder is it?

 

[Bergan Peters]

Is this a Microsoft Brand AV pack?

 

[Dave Nibeck]

The reciever is Denon 4802. The AV pack is Microsoft.

I tried with optical cable in various ports. Same thing. Have sound w/o disk. Once disk is put in, crackle - amp shuts down.

Try turning off the sound on your receiver, put a disc into the XBox, start the game and THEN turn on your receiver. See if it's alright if you turn it on after a game's been loaded and already running.
If it is, I don't know what it means...

 

[Sean Oneil]

You enabled the Dolby Digital option on the X-Box dashboard? This is really strange...

The only thing I can think of is that maybe the chip in the Denon is having a hard time recognising a 640kbps DD stream? Other then that, I don't know. Do DVDs with DD sound play back OK?

 

[Dave Nibeck]

Exchanged box. New one works like a dream. There were some changes to console from the 1st gen. Wonder if this was a problem?

Anyway, 5.1 - it's awesome!

Didn't know it was time for the 2nd gens yet. What has been changed? I have a Denon 3300 and it works perfect for myself.

[todd stone]

yep there have been problems with 5.1 on some boxes.

 

[Dave Nibeck]

The first console in the audio section gave options to turn on dd and dts. The 2nd console did not have this option, it already indicated dd.
