Had foxtel installed today....sound isn't coming out in 5.1 for some reason... Anyone know why?

foxtel box is connected to the receiver via HDMI cable, receiver is connected to the TV via HDMI... Don't see a reason why it shouldn't work as everything else connected to the receiver is in 5.1....

Make sure that your Foxtel Settings are set to output sound in the proper format for the receiver to accept (maybe AC3 or similar), also make sure that the receiver is set to do Virtual Surround if it does happen to only receive a 2.0 or 2.1 signal from foxtel.

Haven't even looked into settings yet, just assumed it'd work by default like everything else.

I'll sus it out now

Audio options available are

SPDIF digital audio output - AC3/MPEG

SPDIF digital audio delay

SPDIF digital audio attenuation

HDMI digital output - AC3/MPEG

Guessing it's something to do with the first or last options, but I set them both to AC3 and both to MPEG and nothing changed audio wise

SPDIF is if you're connecting up to your receiver using an Optical Audio Cable

HDMI is obviously if you're connecting it with your HDMI cable, so choose that bad boy...

Then you switch to the receiver settings for that input source and make sure it is set to expand out to 5.1 surround if it's only receiving a basic 2.1 signal as an input. Often you can hit an info button on the reciever remote and it'll show you info about what kind of stream is coming from foxtel

I opened an on screen receiver menu, selected 'sound program' then chose 'SURROUND DECODER', instead of the 'STRAIGHT' it was set to.

Seems to be sending sound through all 5 speakers now, just not sure if it's sounding how it should sound...I'll keep playing around with the settings...

The majority of Foxtel is in 2.0 isn't it except for some of the HD channels if you're lucky.

Yeah looks like it... I've got the HD package so not sure how many channels aren't HD, but the receiver seemed to be able to output in 5.1 last night...

Pretty poor that it's not all 5.1 from foxtel

lol

Also while we are on MP's mannerism's, I was listening to JJJ on the way home (weird huh) and they were interviewing Dan Andrews...

What finishing school did he go to again?

Only selected channels and programs play in 5.1 so the majority of the time it will be in stereo.

If you want to watch stuff with 5.1 sound just download it. It's cheaper and is generally better quality haha. One of the reasons I don't have Foxtel even though I can get it for nothing.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
