Audio Irregularities with B&K Receiver

[daveoo]

With VOOM rcrv hooked optically into my B&K 307 I get unpredictable audio. This is not dropouts. I may have audio just fine then switch channels on VOOM and lose all audio. A few more flips of the channels brings back the audio. Having to flip, up or down, thru 2-10 channels before audio returns makes matching audio with the channel I want a guessing game.

Two VOOM rcvrs have been tried with the same problem.

B&K does stand out on having a few audio bugs. And that darn flag. Might try a second optical cable and try PCM.

Hints?

Thanks.

I suspect your A/V receiver is configured to switch inputs automatically. Whenever it loses DD synchronization it falls back to analog input. Check the settings of your A/V receiver and see if you can disable this auto-selection and force one single input type.

Thanks for the advise. Got off my but. Couldn't find exactly what you suggested, but I re-did the settings for processing and got reliable sound for now. The unit is getting rusty and forgets some settings when powered off.
