Yes your are on the right line! It got me thinking why the PS3 gives sound but not the ASUS (as they are both setup the same). So i googled my problem and their is a bug in the ASUS eee box range. Just downloaded the latest RealtekHD HDMI audio driver and hey presto - sound out of my TV :)

Many thanks for your help

btw - the asus eee box 206 looks like a nice little machine - lets see how it does as a home media centre

Perhaps you have to configure also the asus to 'send' the audio through HDMI (instead of SPDIF or analog). At the BV7 there is just to select the HDMI A/B/C/D and also select HDMI for sound.

You are right, HDMI supports both. I have a Western Digital TV HD live connected by (only) HDMI and got audio and video. (but the WD doesn't give digital audio through HDMI, only via Toslink SPDIF )

HI thanks for the idea - but i thought the idea of a HDMI cable is that is sends both video and audio

Hi all this is my first post so thanks in advance for any help received! :)

I just got an asus eee box 206 and connected to my 7-40 via a hdmi cable. The picture is working fine, but i get no sound though my tv ( im using the 7-2 speaker). I have setup the HDMI in the settings menu and selected use HDMI for sound connection, but no joy.

I have it connected to HDMI B (my PS3 is connected to HDMI A and i get sound no problem)

I have tried this so far with different sites and no music.

Any ideas? Maybe im missing somethiing obvious and cant wait till my local dealer opens tomorrow...
