    Using AV2HDR to convert files and FTP onto Humax box. Video is perfect but sound is rubbish (on off pulsing), have tried using a variety of source file types but all have exactly the same sound problem.
    Any ideas?

    Sounds like the source audio is the problem.

    See the help in AV2HDR to see what audio AV2HDR supports, - I think it must be MPEG1 or AC3.

    When you import the file to AV2HDR, it opens an information window. Check in there.

    If the source audio isn't MPEG1 or AC3, you'll need to recode it before using AV2HDR.

    Looks normal, are you using a TV for the audio with only a hdmi cable ?. If so try turning off DD audio in the box TV setup menu.

    Using TV for audio.
    TV only has DVI input so for video use HDMI cable from Humax and adaptor plug to connect to TV DVI socket.
    Audio going in thro seperate cable from Humax to TV audio phono sockets.
    This works ok for everything else on Humax
    Sorry but what is DD.

    Dolby Digital aka AC3.

    As you are using the analogue audio out sockets (presumably the red and white phono sockets) you are sending the TV ordinary stereo only so turning off surround sound won't make any difference.

    You could try remuxing the source file to .ts using tsmuxergui and try AV2HDR again.

    Not really, only that it has worked for me and others in the past. Presumably there's something a bit odd about the original file format that tsmuxer corrects. If Raydon reads this post he may have a more technical explanation
