I got a $3 unmarked cable from Wal-Mart which works perfectly.

Rich,

I'm not a Wal-Mart hater like some (shop there frequently, in fact) but the idea of it in the Mother Country depresses me more than I can say (couldn't you have something like "Queen's Mart" or some such?)

Actually its not generally called Wal-Mart in the UK, I just Americanised it. Its actually called ASDA, which used to stand for Associated Dairies however it is now owned by Wal-Mart.

Well, however weird it is that makes me feel better <g>.

This the second WD TV Live Media Player PLUS I have purchased and the audio doesn't work with the HDMI connection. The first media player worked for a little bit before it stopped working and the second one did not work at all.  I am fixing to send this one back also but everytime I do its $10 for shipping. Therse players were purchased from NewEgg. The HDMI cable woks fine with my other media players so I know the cable is good.  Are there just a bad batch of media players out there? Does anyone else have any suggestions?  I like this player but I may have to resort to another brand if I can't get it to work.

Welcome to the forums.

So the audio works with component and/or composite?

[saramy]

Yes, sound works for the other connections except HDMI. I have been reading post in other websites also about replacing these media players with one that works. I just don't want to go through the shipping expense to return them until I get a good one. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Just to be sure, in your Live audio/video settings you DO have it set for "stereo" and not "digital", correct?

Hi!!! I have the WD TV Media Player Model WD00AVP and I have problems with the sound when I try to play BlueRay files (mkv) that have DTS audio. Video output is excellent. Other mkv files (not BluRay) have no problem. The player is connected to the TV with HDMI cable. It doesn't play with either digital or stereo audio output setting. Can you please help?

Zen, you're posting in the forum for the Live/Live+.  You might want to post in the WDTV Forum, but to give you an answer:  I don't think the original WDTV's supported DTS at all, do they?
