Well, mine is going back due to signal strength problems. This is the second box with this problem!
My Samsung HD TV has no signal problems, but this box connected to the same aerial, is terrible.
Sorry Humax but you’ve lost me as a customer!
Has the sound problem been resolved? I still have it. I reported it to Humax a few days ago. They asked me to try another HDMI socket on my TV and change the HDMI cable. I pointed out to them that it was a new TV, that I had the problem on the old TV, and that it had only become apparent since I upgraded to UKFAC 1.01.06. Nevertheless I did as they asked and it has NOT fixed the problem. They’ve just said: “As you have been through full trouble shooting measures on the box I think we are going to need to proceed with a warranty exchange on the box if the unit is still within warranty”. AND “If the replacement box exhibits the same issues then this would point to an issue with the set up and not the Humax Product”. Well if it is a software update problem it will still present on the new box? Comments please?
Presumably the “sound issue” in discussion is sound over HDMI.
Has anyone noticed a difference in output from the Optical (digital?) and Coax (analog?) being fed into your hifi.
The optical feed into my Denon home cinema is much quieter than the coax feed, and also experiences a minor delay (presumably digital to analog conversion) so there’s a discernible echo effect if you have the TV speaker active
Quote:Connection is to a Denon Home Theatre system.Digital V1 coax input is from the TV, which itself is coming from the Humax
Digital V2 optical input is direct from the Humax optical output.
With the TV speaker muted, selecting V1 the sound on the Denon is definitely noticeably louder than the optical V2
Also when un-muting the TV whilst V2 is selected results in a slight echo effect, so there’s presumably a fractional delay in processing the optical signal
Just my observations….

Trying to use your TV speakers will reveal minute differences between the audio sync of a few milliseconds (down to your TV), not visible in lip sync.
Using the echo is a very simple way to accurately synchronise the video from two different camcorders in a NLE video editing programme. Magnifying the audio waveform is even more accurate.
The analogue audio output levels are controlled by the box remote volume control. Turning up the volume from the default of 50% should give you the same sort of levels as output from the digital outputs. Once set you should use the appropriate destination device volume control.
Other differences are down to the individual gain settings for each input on your Denon amp. Adjusting the gain should match any analogue or digital audio input level.
Appreciate all that, but this wasn’t the case with my previous 9200T – switching between optical and coax output from the humax didn’t require any change to the volume setting on the home cinema

The 9200T was SD only. . The HD channels use aac audio which is output as Dolby Digital audio which is output from the digital audio outputs (unless you turn off surround in the setup menus) and gets downconverted to analogue audio for the analogue outputs. SD channels have lpcm stereo audio. The box volume control only affects the lpcm output, so by adjusting the box volume you should be able to match the two outputs.
First time post here, so please be gentle!
I’ve got a Samsung TV (model UE37C6500) which is also now exhibiting the HDMI handshake problems – loss of sound now almost every other day, and yesterday I got the dreaded green screen every time the box was powered on. The only way to reset this latter problem was to disconnect power completely. The sound issue can be rectified either by disconnecting the power or by re-booting with power saving enabled (provided no scheduled recordings are imminent).
Don’t really want to return the unit (it’s about a year old now) as until this point it’s been OK, so am hoping that Humax will get this sorted sooner rather than later. I’ve had the new firmware on since shortly after it was released last October and it was fine until recently.
Thanks guys.

SD channels audio is broadcast as MP2 not lpcm, it is converted to lpcm for digital output and to go through DACs for analogue output.

I know, what comes out of the digital outputs is lpcm. The audio codec used for transmission has no relevance to the OP’s question.
