I have problems with DD, DD+ and PCM audio in satellite and terrestrial services.
My Vu+Duo2 has a twin DVB-S2 and DVB-C/T cards (the latter configured as T). I also have additional DVB-T USB tuners but the problem persists even when they are removed from box.
STB is connected to the DD+ capable amplifier (Pioneer VSX-LX60) with HDMI cable (supplied with STB), downmix setting is off, prefer DD is on.
Amplifier display is off, it is only lit when something changes (with remote or on signal changes).
Problem with DD+:
On channels with DD+ active: when soundtrack becomes very dynamic than I can noticed 'silence gaps' very short, lasting a fraction of the second, still noticeable. Amplifier display is off so the DD+ bitstream is not interrupted.
Problem with DD:
On channels with DD active: sound is not steady, amplifier display is lit every half a second like there were some breaks in audio stream and audio is not smooth at all. It does not depend how dynamic is (or is not) soundtrack.
Problem with PCM:
On channels with PCM active: there is a high pitch sound from time to time, sometimes very sparingly (every few minutes), sometimes more frequently.
When I start a box from deep standby, the problems are not present most of the time, but after some few minutes they reappear. I tried vuplus, black hole and openpli images. Problems on each of them.
Currently on: 2013-12-13-vuplus_experimental.
I have a Manual Fan Control plugin (instead of FanControl2), set it to 800RPM, temperature is never higher than 39C, so it should not be overheating problem (STB top case is quite cool everywhere).
My amplifier is OK too, my PS3 was connected to that HDMI port previously and I had no problems with DD/DD+ or TrueHD. I tired the PS3 HDMI cable but the problems were present too.
Is my Vu+Duo2 box faulty or drivers are to blame?
Any help appreciated.
Regards.
