    I have no sound when playing downloaded .MKV files! TV series' work, but not BluRay rips.

    I have this sound system from Bose http://www.bose.dk/EU/en/home-entertainmen...te-GS/index.jsp

    I have connected the WD TV to my plasma panasonic with a HDMI cable, and the audio out to the speaker system is red/white analog. No luck.

    I have also tried connecting the WD TV directly to the speaker systems receiver with an optical cable. No luck.

    I have set the WD TV audio settings to digital. No luck.

    Somebody please help me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

    The 2nd Gen. WD TV and the Live can only handle upto 2-channel DTS, so you can try setting the player to Stereo to see if you get any sound at all. If not, I'm afraid you'll need a receiver that can decode multi-channel DTS etc. properly. I don't think that Coaxial (RCA) to Digital Optical Audio Converter will be of any help here.
