Problem with sound
I just installed the HD Homerun Flex. I run the app through a Roku Express. I am able to get video however no sound. The Roku Express is connected to my Panasonic plasma TV via HDMI. I get sound from all other apps. What do I need to do to get sound on the TV
Re: Problem with sound
It would be helpful to know the numeric model number of the Roku and the age of TV.
Sound from the HDHomerun app might not be possible with certain combinations of Rokus and old TV hardware. The TV needs to support AC3 / Dolby Digital over HDMI or the streaming device needs to be able to convert the audio to PCM over HDMI. The other apps you reference probably use the latter.
You can try the No Audio troubleshooting steps here, if you can find those settings. They worked on my 2011 Samsung but not on my 2007 Panasonic. My solution for the Panasonic was to use an Onn Google TV streaming box found at Walmart. Guess it converts to PCM over HDMI.
