Well I have tryed everything guess I will need to buy a sound card.

The scale on my Onkyo 805 is similar to what others (ClubNeon, Listener) have reported. It's not uncommon for me to listen to HDMI sources at -10db and other sources at -25db. I don't consider it particularly loud.

Since your radio and game console sound okay, it must be your sound card. Does it have an optical or coaxial output, or are you using the analog outputs?

I just updated my 5.1 driver. Sub works now but still no 5.1 for movies just stereo works. Well its better then sounding like a playing in a tube. I have auido both from my HDMI and Optical just not 5.1

Also when I use VLC player I have to set the output to stereo not 5.1

oh well I will try later time to listen to some music, it still sounds good.

Well I spoke to soon, the center is now giving off no sound. I hate this I get one thing going then another goes out. Now the Master volume has front,center,sub,side all greyed out I can't use them.

Thanks for your help guys I know it will get going I just have been trying since yesterday at 6pm and just want to hear what I have wanted to for so long

O.k I got them back but now SPDIF is greyed out, what is that anyway. But center still does not work. I know everything is in the right spot, I ran the ONKYO test tone thing and it is working.

Also my ONKYO only shows stereo I can't get anyother formats, All ch. movie mode ect.

SPDIF is your digital connection from your sound card to your receiver, that is how I hook my HTPC to my Denon.

Hey big green fella, it will help a lot if you tell us what you change each time. I found getting my HTPC and receiver to play together was a bit of a challenge. Computers just have too many different places to change things and that greatly confuses setup.

Tell us what you are changing and where you opened it from.

FWIW, at one point I had all speakers putting out only the center channel on analog outs. That was very wierd.

P.S. I think your topic title is one of the all time best (as long as you didn't really smash your system!). Now we need to get to Hulk Happy. Hulk like pretty music...

OK, before you run out and buy a soundblaster try downloading this codec: AC# Filter

If you are outputting through spdif to your Onkyo receiver this should work with this codec. Just be sure to go into setup and select the correct options.
