622 Audio Drop Outs, who else?

**Kirby Baker** · 03-07-2006 09:28 AM

Everyone of my audio drops so far has been on CBS-HD 9483. I assumed it was a problem with the channel and not the 622. Using HD audio sync here.

Audio dropouts and pops seem to have a connection to a program being DD 5.1. If you use the optical cable and plug it into a DD5.1 reciever it clears it up.

Also here is another trick

One tuner on this box pops.... another doesnt. Before watching something like 24 check which tuner you are on. If its popping try swapping tuners and then tune to the OTA channel.

I used to have audio sync issues with the HDMI cable. Going to component seemed to clear that up.

Thanks. I just tried that, but I notice that it is only an option for TV1 (not TV2). Regardless, that setting did not fix the problem on the TV2 tuner.

The stations still have a "popping" in audio, on locals, SD, and HD. I'm wondering if it is a bad tuner in the 622?

BTW, it's not a drop or lag in the audio signal. The sound is still there, however, so it a "static" type popping sound overlaying the audio.

Sorry, I have an optical cable pluged in to my dd5.1 receiver , and still have popping on tv2, watching tv2 or tv1. AND, both my HDMI and component connections have the same popping issue.

I'm seeing the synch issues on my 622 too... fixed everytime by a skip or pause command. I saw this several software versions ago on my 522.

I have my 622's audio directly connected to the TV for casual (most) viewing, and also have the digital out connected to my TV for when we're watching things that deserve the full DD treatment. Both outputs equally suffer from the synch issue.

I've yet to see any synch issues at all , KNOCK ON WOOD! Just audio popping. I wonder why some are having the synch issues and some are having the audio popping. Maybe someone could do a poll and see how many are suffering from either issue or both issues, or none of the above.

I'm having audio pops/syncing. Pops happen on most all channels, and both tuners.

I too am using optical out on a DD 5.1 receiver. I'm using the exact same cable that was plugged into my dvd player so I know its not the cable. Also, when there is a pop, the DD light on my receiver goes out so it is obvious that the 622 is dropping the signal some how.

The sync problem only happens when watching a recorded show. I've tried both SD & HD sync settings, neither make a difference as far as I can tell.

merged threads... I am noticing audio sync problems also...

**mlrtime3** · 03-08-2006 08:28 PM

I noticed that when I watch a show on TV2 I get the audio pops but no audio sync issues. When I switch over to TV1 on the same show with optical out, I get the sync issues. Pausing and unpausing clears sync issues, but then popping starts again.
