Description

Boxee Box is connected via optical cable to Canton DM 90 Soundbar (2.1). If the soundbar is in Dolby/DTS surround mode and I'm starting to view a local video I'm getting a hissing noise. Changing from this Dolby/DTS surround mode to normal stereo mode and back to surround mode is solving this problem. Same applies when I'm doing a fast forward on a video and I'm in surround mode.

I've tested other components (e.g. Blue Ray player) via an optical connection and there is no problem in surround mode.

I'm getting the same issue going to my harmon kardon avr-347 via optical when I press a button on the Boxee remote I get a slight interference sound. It is quiet enough I only here it when Im sitting close to my rear speakers I have had this issue since day one never thought much of it until I read this.

Same configuration but using a Popcorn Hour A210. No problem. Seems to be an issue with the boxee box. Plaeas have a look into this issue. This is a stopper.

Thanks, it's gone. You can close the issue. But I'm experiencing a new issue (BOXEE-9805) with the optical connection after upgrade to the new release
