Hi,
I have an issue getting surround sound working in my setup and I believe it is caused by my HDMI switcher. Here are the facts:
[*]TV: Panasonic Viera TC-P55UT50 (2 HDMI in, 1 Optical out, one of those has ARC)
[*]Home Theatre: Sony DAV-HDX900W
[*]HDMI Switch: Rocketfish RF-G1185 HDMI Switch 4-in 1-out
[*]Setup:
[*]Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U, PS3 plugged into the the HDMI switch
[*]HDMI Switch is plugged into the TV (in the non-ARC port) via HDMI cables
[*]TV plugged into the Home Theatre via Optical cable
[/list]
On my old set-up, with a Sony Bravia TV which had enough HDMI ports that I didn't need the switcher, surround sound worked.
Now, trying to set the audio output to "surround" on my game consoles gives me an error message and I cannot get the surround sound to work properly.
I would like to avoid paying $3-400 for an A/V Receiver or an HDMI matrix (with optical cables) unless absolutely necessary, but would very much like any help/advice on the matter!
Thanks!
