Loud "Static" noise when playing MKV files -- HELP

[Sidgriffey]

I have no problem playing this 1080p blu-ray rip in plex, but for some reason Boxee plays it with a loud, "TV static/snowy picture" style noise. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Check your audio settings inside Boxee. I know I get that noise on my ATV if I have my audio settings set to anything but analog.

Every time it has happened to me I stopped the video and restarted with no issues. Not sure of the cause but it worked.

I have this same issue with my boxee box on several mkv's if i uncheck Dolby and dts audio options they play fine, but all other files play fine with the surround options checked. Anyone know the cause?

Some mkv files traveling around on the internet only include the dolby dts audio track so either your computer has to downmix it on the fly or you have to connect to it digitally for audio.What you are hearing is the digital adio track because for some reason its failing to downmix to stereo analog.

On the ATV1 there are several files I use the optical digital audio out for which play fine if I turn down the analog audio on the TV (because for whatever reason in the encoding it fails to down mix) but play great using the optical digital audio in on my surround system. It can be real jarrig wakeup however if you forget when you go to play the file and it clicks away at your
