    HTPC cracking noise during loud explosions through HMDI

    i don't think it's either, specifically. i bought it ten months ago. i do know that i optioned for the nvidia 8400 card, or whatever. i think i may have fixed the problem. i uninstalled ac3filter, and the k-lite codec pack, then reinstalled vlc. i changed the audio output to 'waveout' or...

    HTPC cracking noise during loud explosions through HMDI

    but to further explain, ive watched many a drama in 5.1 quite loud, with no problems. its just when i went to watch the dark knight bluray rip, and subsequently other action movies, if i want to watch them at loud to excessively loud volumes i get the cracking popping noise during explosions...

    HTPC cracking noise during loud explosions through HMDI

    that's the problem, no matter what i attempt to change on my laptop, either in ac3filter or in wmc or simply the volume slider it doesn't seem to affect the sound at all. i don't know if its because its spdif, or what, i don't really know much about it. do i need spdif for 5.1 sound through...

    HTPC cracking noise during loud explosions through HMDI

    anything i can do about that?? i am 90% sure i didn't have this problem at one point in time. but there is just a chance that i didn't watch anything with loud explosions. it seems anything else loud is fine, it is just explosions that cause the messed up noises. hmm.

    HTPC cracking noise during loud explosions through HMDI

    oops. i meant hdmi, obviously. i have a dell m1330 laptop, and am using its HDMI output to pass SPDIF 5.1 audio to my onkyo 805. i have windows xp installed, as well as windows 7 build 7000, and have the exact same performance in each. i know its not an issue with the cable, or receiver, or...

    yeah, i have. the blue light around the volume nob changes intensity, but still nothing on the LED display.

    Onkyo TX-SR805 No display on LED

    the mode you guys are referring to is 'pure audio'. i usually do run in this mode which turns off the display, but when you press buttons on the remote like change volume the display will come on for a few seconds displaying your current volume. i can't get the display to come on regardless of...

    Onkyo TX-SR805 No display on LED

    i've had my amp for a few months with no problems, and now all of a sudden the led display is always off. i've tried pressing pretty much ever button including dimmer, but nothing. if i turn the volume up or down on the remote, i see a little red LED flash, but the display doesn't come on...

    energy c-500 impressions?

    i gather that if i have matching energy l/c/r and keep the klipsch surrounds i should be good to go for HT. the only concern might be multi-channel music, right? i'm not too concerned about that. aslo, i have to purchase the c-500 without listening to them, so that is why i am here seeking...

    energy c-500 impressions?

    i currently have klispch rb-10, rc-10, rs-10, tx sr-805 and wasn't immediately looking to upgrade my mains, but the c-500 are on sale for $400 CAD which seemed like a real bargain to me. i'm more interested in how they sound for music, because i'm pretty complacent when it comes to HT (aside...

    anyone have experience with klipsch's RC-10?

    i bought this speaker without hearing it, and it seems to me that it is the weakest link in my ht. now, i have zero experience listening to any center channels what-so-ever aside from junk htib, so i don't know what i'm really expecting. i've got klipsch speakers all around, rb-10, rs-10...

    help with my new onkyo 805, please!

    this amp is way over my head, but i got it shipped for less than $700 canadian. :) i'm looking to see if there is a way to change default audio levels between inputs because my sattelite is a lot less loud than my xbox360 (always was) and its annoying to have to hold the volume button for...

    another reciever suggestion needed if you folks don't mind.

    i also have a question about video processing/converting capabilities. i have a hd satelite reciever that does a horrendous job of scaling SD to HD. my parents have the exact same tv without HD and the SD looks much better for them. if i get a a/v reciever capable of upconverting, is...

    another reciever suggestion needed if you folks don't mind.

    i'm looking to spend under $1000 canadian, and just have a few simple needs. i want 3 or 4 hdmi 1.3a inputs and support dolby true hd and dts hd. i don't care about upscaling or whatnot, i just want to be able to switch between more than two hdmi sources. it will be used for music, 5.1...

    Need HDMI Receiver

    i also joined today, to pose pretty much this same question. i had my mind set that i needed hdmi 1.3 and dts-hd and dolby true hd, but i was also under the impression that i needed the 1.3 for 1080p which isn't the case. i was leaning towards the onkyo 705, but if i can get a better...
