Stuttering Audio On ESPN Channel 206

ESPN nuff said!!

 

What is up with the red button overlay app on ESPN? It plays the short videos. Guess what? No Audio! Cheddar TV - same thing. What a joke. Do you guys think it has something to do with my HR44 DVR that works like a charm?

 

I want to respond to my audio issue. I did a little researching online about this problem on those two channels. What they want you to do is go to menu then ( on my HR44 ) select settings - scroll over to audio and select Dolby Audio. Click on it. Then turn the on to off! Exit out after you've done this. Boom - audio again! Why couldn't they put this on their support page on DIRECTV.com is beneath me. If you select audio at the top of your screen when you hit info - you can not disable Dolby Digital audio. Follow those instructions given. Good luck!

 

Some have reported success by rebooting twice as follows:

1) Reboot your DVR
2) When it is done coming back up (you have picture and sound again), immediately reboot again.

This will clear out most of the 'gremlins' your DVR may have. It may or may not fix your audio issue, but it's worth a try.

Note that it might take 24 hours or so to update your guide and a few other things out the normal two weeks.

 

I dont watch ESPN a whole lot but i watched most of the Monday Night game and didnt see any issues

 

Rob respectfully - You are telling me and everyone reading this - It doesn't work? I must have imagined or dreamed going on Google search and searching for a solution. If it does not work why do I have audio on the ESPN overly app and those Cheddar videos? It didn't get audio by magic. Im shocked that I would waste my time and put a solution I found on AT&T Forums and told it doesn't work! Who are these members?

 

I could careless! It worked for me and that is all that matters. Upgrade your receiver dummy and yours might work too!

 

And for all of us - what the heck is PCM?

 

Short summary is 2 channel stereo
