    How to get audio when connecting the new Apple TV to BeoVision7?

    I cannot get audio from my TV when the new Apple TV is connected.

     

    I have tried connecting the optical lead from the Apple box to the TV via a optical to digital coax converter that is plugged into the orange socket on the back, but still nothing!

     

    Any idea's please...?

    Having the same problem!!

      ATV is plugged into an HDMI to component convertor, this then into component sockets on the TV and audio into a scart convertor. Picture is perfect but there is no sound. Even plugging the audio into the audio jacks directly makes no difference.

      Is this your set up Topsparks?

    I have picture fine. The audio is connected to one of the orange digital coax inputs on the tv (top right on back) via an optical to digital converter, the optical cable being connected to the Apple TV box.

    No, it's for a customer. I have spoken to B&O technical who have talked me through configuring the correct inputs and it was their view that the Apple TV box should have an option to set the audio output to optical, however, under the Apple settings there is no option to change it. The HDMI option cannot be changed from auto and the audio otions are either auto or 16 bit. Spoke to Apple technical and they advised that the TV was not comatable and I should plug it into a seperate home theatre system. B&O advise this is bo**ox...

    What Beovision do you have? If you have connected your ATV 2 via HDMI to your TV there is no need for an additional audio connection at all!

    Which version of the Beovision 7 is it? If I remember correctly the first versions (MK l and ll I think) didn't support standard 2-channel PCM sound through the digital inputs, only DTS and DD. You had to use analog audio for 2-channel sound...

     

    Try playing a movie with DD 5.1 on the Apple TV.

    Have tried changing the Dolby setting, but makes no difference, still NO audio.

    Where did you connect the analogue audio to?

    hi, does it have genuine hdmi fitted or is there a dvi to hdmi convertor?  If it does dvi doesnt carry sound!

    Re: How to get audio when connecting the new Apple TV to BeoVision7?

    I am aware that the HDMI cable wil not carry audio (it's connected through a DVI adaptor on the TV), that's why I'm trying to use the optical cable from the ATV.

    So try the sound with DD 5.1 material from ATV 2, p.e. a rented film. I assume you will hear the sound and so your BV 7 cannot handle PCM sound. An firmware update can solve this problem.

    Changing the Dolby setting makes no difference...

    Please explain how to do this...

    Re: How to get audio when connecting the new Apple TV to BeoVision7?

    P.e. Youtube videos and music from Itunes library is sent in PCM from ATV 2 to BV 7 and this could be the problem because some BV 7 without HDMI inputs cannot handle the PCM audio format.

    But a rented video from the ITunes store has normally Dolby Digital 5.1 audio format and this should be played by every BV 7.

    Right!

    This has been discussed several times. An update (DSM module) will solve the problem. Unfortunatly it's not a software update.

    It's the sound module in your tv. It needs an update with a newer chip. Ask your dealer. Smile
