Set up has been in place for 5 years. Absolutley nothing has been touched, changed, added or reconfigured.
When attempting to play either a DVD or CD we get no sound. BUT, if you select FM on the receiver, no problem, plenty of sound. First I thought it was the DVD player so I bought a new one, hooked it up, same results. Returned that, thinking it was the receiver, I bought a new receiver. Hooked THAT up, same friggin thing.
Anyone?

That would be my first guess, more information about how things are setup would help.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

That would be my first guess. You could also make sure no one changed the settings in the receiver and reasigned the dvd player to another output.

Well I guess that would make sense as that has been the one constant while I went thru a new DVD player hooked up to the old receiver and then a new AV receiver hooked up to the old DVD player.

Yup, that would seem to be just about all it could be!
Do you happen to have any RCA analog cables that you could use to go thru the "old fashioned" route?
......just to be sure(as if there's a doubt, right!)until you can get a new optical?

You don't say what receiver your using, as Wid has mentioned check your input assignments in the receiver setup to make sure that your DVD option is pointing to your optical jack? Or do you have Coax options, which would also be digital passthrough.

We have an unusual problem that we don't normally see.
First the DVD player was swapped out; and then the receiver was replaced.
The original problem persisted......kinda like changing the head of an ax; and then the handle. Is it the same ax?
Only original part remaining is that wedgie thing!!

Rick - did you get any audio from the ax after those tweaks?
