I have a Virgin Media Cable TV box connected to a Pioneer HD Plasma via a HDMI cable. Pictures on the HD channels are excellent.
I also have a Sony home cinema system that is connected to the audio line out sockets on the Cable TV box via the standard double redwhite cable plugs. (not sure what they are called). I have noticed that when I change from a normal channel, say BBC1, to BBC HD, the sound level actually drops down and is quieter, and I have to turn the volume up on the home cinema system.
This doesn't make sense to me, I would have assumed the sound would be louder and clearer on the HD channels. So I guess I have either connected it incorrectly, i.e. missed something obvious, or I need to connect different cables, possibly redgreenblue component cables instead?.
As a matter of interest, does an HDMI cable carry audio as well as video?
How does everybody else wire their cable tvHDTVHome cinema systems for audio and video?
