AC3 audio volume not working

  • Hello

    I have a DM 520 and am having a problem with AC3 audio.

    I can't control the channel's volume if it's on AC3 audio.

    I tried all ways and changed many images but no change.

    Currently, I control the volume through the TV remote.

    I hope to find a solution to this problem in the next update.


    Thanks in advance.

  • Well, AC3 downmix means that it's stereo only. When you have AC3 downmix disabled you have to change the volume on your AV receiver.

  • DM520 manual page 40:

    Zitat

    AC3 standardmäßig: Wird eine Sendung empfangen, die eine AC3 Tonspur (z.B. Dolby Digital) enthält, so wird automatisch auf diese Tonspur umgeschaltet. Die Lautstärkeregelung von AC3-Signalen funktioniert nur wenn die Einstellung „AC3 downmix“ (siehe nächster Punkt) aktiviert ist.

    If you have a Samsung-TV you can test the SamsungVolumeRemote-plugin:


    With this Plugin you can Control the TV-Volume with the dreambox remote control and use ac3-sound without downmix.

  • So you're telling me that I can't change the AC3 volume directly through the DM device and that it's not a problem and it's normal with DM devices ?!

    yes, and it has always been like that

    Thats normal for any device not just Dream. You can control volume via HDMI CEC but not directly on the device.

  • In my experience, when comparing the two devices (Dream & Humax), I did not find any difference in the sound quality, both provide excellent sound quality.

  • I found a solution to control Dolby volume by sync with TV and enabling "Forward Volume Keys to TV/AVR"

    But another problem appeared, the mute feature doesn’t work!

    I tried changing "Target for forwarded Volume keys" but nothing changed.

    Is there a way to make the mute feature work with sync with TV?

    Thanks in advance.
