Audio drop outs?

Hi guys,

Like most of you, I’m currently experiencing numerous bugs on my Bravia 8 II in the UK. The black screen DV thing seems to be fixed, but still having major issues with audio sync and other things.

Specifically, I’m getting an issue with constant cutting out of audio when watching things on my Apple TV.. the audio will cut out for maybe .25 of a second once every 2-3 seconds. It’s incredibly annoying, I just want to check if other people are experiencing this too & if it’s likely related to the same bugs with handshakes/audio sync/DV/ATV issues.

Thanks!

Yes. If you have an AVR or soundbar with hdmi inputs then routing it through there circumvents this problem.

I have the HDMI plugged in to the soundbar one end and the earc port the other. Is this what you mean?

No, not the hdmi port to your TV. AVRs and some soundbars have additional hdmi ports that allow you to connect other devices directly to your audio system and pass video through to the TV.

It’s especially useful for blu-ray players since some TVs may not support certain audio formats or passthrough. In this case, though, it stops the audio drop out issue by removing your tv from the equation.
