.MKV sound, Surround sound system doesn't play MKV sound Options

[Idontdougly]

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)

If you have connected your receiver directly to the player via TOSLink, then IMO no audio data should be sent via HDMI. On all the systems I've seen so far, using TOSLink for audio and HDMI for video worked perfectly fine. Double-check your receiver's settings and see.

Thanks for the quick response
I've just been doing a bit of reading on the online manual http://www.panasonic.ae/EN/Manuals/SC-PT550%20-%20850W.pdf and found this on page 40:

This unit can decode the surround signals received through cable TV box, digital broadcasting or satellite broadcasts. Refer to your equipment’s operating instructions for details. Only Dolby Digital and PCM can be played with this connection.

Could this be the reason i'm not getting DTS sound through my receiver? If so i'll just have to convert DTS to AC3
