Google TV CS918S No Audio Using HDMI

[iy72]

I have a sharp 37" Aquos LC-37D43U. My Sound system is connected to TV through Optical cable. All devices works fine on those 2 HDMI ports. I recently bought a Google TV box CS918S Quad Core Android 4.2.2 OTT TV Box 4K*2K Allwinner A31S 2GB/16GB XBMC. The box is tested at my friends place and works fine. While I hook it to my TV using any of the HDMI port I get only Video. There is no Audio. I have checked both cable and box at my friends place and they work fine. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

Welcome to Android Central! Some AV equipment have an option in one of the menus to bypass the HDMI audio, thus only transmitting the video signal. I think this is so that audio isn't duplicated on the TV and through a separate sound system (for example, if a BluRay player was outputting video to a TV via HDMI, and audio to a home theater setup via optical cable). Check your TV menus for some kind of HDMI audio bypass setting.

Also, there is an update that came out on April 1st that fixes many of the issues that came with the box.

Full forum support over at OTT CS918S Android TV Box Allwinner - DragonDevs Community CWM Recovery created and custom roms being developed. I've found the Beyond XBMC and Semper from the Ouyforum works best. So far 1080i@60 works perfectly. Currently trying to figure out how to get full 1080p working
