No sound with iso and avi files

[KRIS_PARIS]

I've put on the eva hard drive two iso (dvd 5 structure with no protection ac3 dolby stereo 2.0) and 2 avi file and i've got no sound playing.
I change the hdmi cable and connect the eva to tv with analog audio & video
cable and nothing's changed.
I've updated the firmware directly to the 2.3.16 and in the audio setup everyting except dts is on stereo
But i've sound when i'm listenning to mp3 with a hdmi cable.
Am i missing something ?
Anyone got an idea ?
Thanks

It's easier to figure this out if you post the mediainfo (www.videohelp.com/tools/mediainfo)

ok
thanks
i will upgrade to firmware 2.4.60
and i will post the info of the avi file
but for the .iso file it doesn't work with mediainfo do you want me to extract one video_ts file with isobuster and give you the bitrate and codec for the audio ?

Hi

i make the upgrade with the new firmware and i do have sound when i plug the eva with the analog on tv for both avi and iso files
But as soon as i get back to hdmi, no sound
I try 3 different hdmi cable (one from my ps3 well working) and make the connection in the three hdmi input on my lg tv, and no sound
I think i've got a problem with the hdmi output of the eva ?

What do you think ?

Sounds like it is time for mediainfo as StephenB suggested.

For this mkv file it's the same problem iv'got sound and video with analog connection and no sound with hdmi.

If you have dolby digital set to stereo, then you should be getting sound on the hdmi connection (assuming of course that your TV supports audio on that connection).

Sometimes I've had to remux (or transcode) mp3 audio in AVIs, but in your case I would get the AC3 audio working first.

Thanks Steven

On my Lg Tv i have three hdmi connection that are well working with a ps3,
a freebox tv and a Samsung dvd1080p7.
I tried everything but now i'm really thinking that i've problem with the hdmi
connection on the eva
Do you think i can restore the factory preset and try again ?
Which firmware will it be with the factory preset ?
Thanks
Kris

[StephenB]

Going back to factory defaults shouldn't change your firmware version - it is a reasonable thing to try. You will need to go through the configuration wizard again after you do it.

One of the first screens in the wizard plays some audio, so if you hook up the HDMI before you do the reset, you should be check the audio on that screen.
