Fixing No Surround Blu-ray Sound after Upgrading MediaSmart
Select the “HDMI pass through” mode to get surround sound while using Blu-ray player home theatre I, ones facing up some new movies would not play. He’s try upgrade MediaSmart from HP but the player would simply freeze up as soon as there was audio present. It’w weird as the MediaSmart runs well on the laptop. It only freezes up only when use the “HDMI pass through” setting. The Denon receiver shows there are five channels run but it’s only get stereo sound out of the front left and right speakers.
If you’re sure the laptop and the Denon receiver is working fine, you can try the solution below:
Assume you use the laptop to watch region “B” Blu-ray movies that you bought out of England. Rather than set Media Smart to region “B”. You can purchase software from SlySoft.com. Once the software runs, it removes the region code and all that annoying copy protection.
If it so, a red window come up prompt you to go to Cyberlink for an update. After that, the movie would play, but you had no surround sound in my home theatre. For this reason, you can use the old Media Smart software and run SlySoft. Through this nethod you have no more red window and the surround sound in theatre through HDMI pass through should works properly.
The problem with this solution is that Slysoft costs around 114.00$ U.S. for a life time membership and free updates forever.
Another good solution, you can try to download software called K-Lite which is codec repair and replacement software. K-Lite able did the trick.
