Audio from HDMI output

[bambahtg9700]

Hi guys, I'm not getting any audio from my HDMI setup. I've got my HDMI dvd player hooked to my external HDTV tuner (accepts HDMI) for my display and then an optical output from the tuner to my receiver which is connected to the speakers. I get video but no audio even when I select the optical input source on the receiver. Any thoughts?

I believe that HDMI v. 1.1 is required to transmit video and audio (excepting sacd which requires v. 1.2). HDMI v. 1 will transmit video only. Which version do you have?

some DVD players have to have the outputs selected. Try checking your set up menu on the DVD player and make sure that the audio is set to go out the optical outs.
