No Audio on my WDTV Options

[11Neal]

Hi All,

I'm new to the community here and took delivery of my WDTV yesterday. I was initially using ATV hacked with XBMC/boxee but cldn't get the external hard drive to mount on the USB so gave up!. I stumbled on WDTV a few days ago and opted for this over a popcorn hour or hdx 1000 due to the simplicity.

Although my initial impressions are quite favourable in terms that it will play ALL my downloaded MKV files, it WONT play all the audio that goes with them even though I have downloaded the latest firmware.

This is such a great little player that this for me is the only downside and I would like some help resolving. When I play the file, the video plays but it says "digital" at the top of the screen and I get no sound. I have played around with the settings but still no joy, I guess this little magic box just doesn't support the audio codecs in my movies.

Does anyone have any suggestions or perhaps someone out there can let me know of some EASY to use software that will allow me to re encode the audio portion of the file to a format the WDTV is happy with???. I'm no techy, so the easiest method possible is what I need..

Your help is much needed and much appreciated!!.

what is the wdtv hooked up to for audio playback?

if it's just a tv, no hope in hell of it ever playing dts, the wdtv will pass it off and you will need a dts capable receiver to decode and play the audio for you.
