...suggestions/experiences? I have my set-top-box / digital box with a optical output into my 5.1 surround receiver and HDMI to the TV - which should allow me to watch programs normally through the TV and be able to switch to the optical output when I want 5.1 from the TV.
However, when I switch to the input to listen to 5.1 the volume will auto-mute. When I turn up or down the vol. you can hear it quickly transfer to the 5.1 speakers but then back to the TV speakers. The box says muting, and I cannot get it to stay on the optical output to the receiver.
The blu-ray connected to the receiver has no problem playing 5.1.
