No sound with DVD dolby digital 5.1

This commonly happens based on the source. For example, if your receiver looks at the source that is analog, it will use two channels, the two front left and right speakers. However, some receivers, such as a Denon, have a 5 channel stereo feature that will utilize all 5 speakers (L&R Front, Center, L&R Rear). If you are connecting a DVD player, often you need to configure the source appropriately. If you are connecting using the RCA cables, it will be stereo. If you are using Optical or Coaxial connection, you can enjoy Dolby Digital, but may need to specify in the receivers setup to use these audio source inputs. If you are connecting via HDMI, early versions only supported Dolby Prologic, but you occasionally hear mono sound from rear speakers. Without knowing more about your equipment, what source you are hoping to hear and how you are connected, it will be difficult to pinpoint your cause, but hopefully this helps your understanding to enable you look for the appropriate cause.

Sorry I did not use the video out RCA cables. My audio RCA cables worked fine... I ran them to my JBL amplifier through a conversion adapter. I did not run it direct to the amp.. I used Metra TYTO-01 03-08 Toyota Vehicles Harness for JBL SYS (Ebay item 160560648718) and it worked great.

Here is the wiring color coding that I found online:

Code on stereo for steering wheel is 0000

A 5.1 sound card will give output in all channels only if the audio being played is also 5.1.

Normally out of 6 Speakers only 2 front and sub woofer will play sound, in case of a DVD or Movie which has 5.1 encoding, all 5 will come alive.

Also, Dolby Prologic II and Dolby Digital will convert a 2 channel input into psudo 5.1 enviornment but Dolby has to be in hardware or speakers or Receiver.

On my yamaha 375 receiver if I connect digital or hdmi it disables the balance/bass treble etc but they work with anolog don't know if yours might be the same just abit strang if anolog doing it aswell

Hello,
In a surround sound system, the correct way to listen to music is in stereo mode which will play out of your left and right channels and your subwoofer. When viewing a movie with surround sound, then you should use your rear speakers. The key element to remember is that rear speakers are only intended to play your sound effects, and will not play full range audio. Thats what your fronts and center are for. If you simply want to override this, than you will need to select the direct sound field on your receiver and than it will send full range audio to all speakers connected. Most likely, its not going to sound that good. If you dont know what each sound field does, here is a list and function of the most commonly used ones.
Stereo-Front Left and Right speakers including subwoofer
Dolby Digital or PLII Movie-these are the bost options for your surround sound
Direct-All speakers connected get full range signal
Good Luck

you might have to select stereo speakers
you might have to uninstall then reinstall both the driver and the sound devices
control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers select ((appropriate speakers)) or audio you will find 3 drop down lists make the necessary adjustments there or control panel,administrive tools,computer management,device manager,sound,could be a yellow question mark? right click to re-install drivers or right click select properties to either troubleshoot,uninstall,rollback driver

hope this helps

Solution: connected the rear right and left wires to the Front , left and right wires......................and everything works the way I anticipated without any technical problems....... the woofer works on a separate circuit, so I continue to receive the "low" frequency..

cant be done, the dvd wont record in surround. you could try a digital TOS, optical audio path and that may do what you need, usually the digital is an orange single input. TOS is the square one that looks like a little bulb on the end.

Typically, only stereo inputs exist on any comsumer-grade receiver, and the actual decoding to 3, 4, 5, 6, and even 7.1 is done internal in the receiver. When a "placement" signal is detected by the receiver, the sound is routed to the correct speaker.Please refer to a user manual

set it on dolby digital mode not sterio mode should be differnt modes on a ch only use prologiic or spin the mode dial to doby digital on movie on direct tv wont be dobly fake suround more less but center should work change settings modes
