Sometimes after using the Humax, either to watch a recording or to schedule another recording, when I return to the TV (an LG 43UK6950PLB.AEK) there is no sound. As soon as I change channel the sound returns.
The devices are connected using HDMI and this problems occurs on both of the HDMI ports on the TV.
Has anyone else had this problem and do they know a solution.

Just have read through the forum and you will see that it's an often reported issue and the two solutions are
1. Make sure you are running the latest firmware.
2. Buy a Lindy CEC blocker.| Mon 21 Feb 2022 12:51:05 #2 | -
Thanks for the reply.
I did search the forum but did not find anything similar. Maybe I don't know the best search terms to enter as I got a lot of posts but none relevant.
Searching for CEC did prove more useful.
The firmware does seem to be the latest as shown on the Humax website.
Mine is:
Software Version UKTFAC 1.01.20
Loader Version UKTFAC 1.04
Update Date 08 Jan 2018
MICOM Version 12.4I will post back when I have a CEC blocker.

Maybe I don't know the best search terms to enter as I got a lot of posts but none relevant.The main known loss of sound issue has been resolved by the software you already have and although I don't totally understand your description I don't think that any of the existing threads on sound issues matches your issue.

2. Buy a Lindy CEC blocker.Do the HDR 2000T/1800T actual output any CEC to block?

Luke.. The CEC blocker was recommended on here years ago when sound issues and hdmi handshake issues were prevalent (they seemed to be affecting 1800/2000t/Sony combos mainly).
Adding the blocker certainly worked for me at the time but, as I no longer have the TV, I can't check whether the updated firmware resolved the issue or not.Stuart... No need to do a search, just go to the 1800t/2000t section of the forum and scan through the thread titles and you will see "sound" issues mentioned numerous times.

Stuart, are you saying that there is no sound when you return to the "live TV" function on the television itself (and it returns when you change TV channels) or are you saying that there is no sound from the Humax?
| Tue 22 Feb 2022 11:43:27 #7 | -
Yes, when I return to the "live TV" function on the television itself there is, sometimes, no sound. If I change the channel on the TV and then change back to the previous channel the sound returns.
I have not had a problem with the Humax failing to output sound, although whenever I switch to the Humax I have to raise the sound level, either via the Humax or the TV. (This was the same with my previous pvr.| Wed 23 Feb 2022 21:54:30 #8 | -
I have now installed a Lindy CEC blocker.
Sadly the Media button no longer worked and I could find no way of playing recorded programs.
After changing HDMI ports, and then removing the blocker I still had no way of accessing the recordings.
Did a Factory Reset and it is now OK again, although I have lost my favourites and scheduled recordings.
Too early to say whether the blocker has fixed the "No sound" problem, but I will keep you posted.| Wed 23 Feb 2022 21:59:56 #9 | -
It has happened again, so that solution would appear to have been a waste of time and money.
Does anyone have any other ideas?| Thu 24 Feb 2022 22:47:07 #10 |
