@vtxrider Its not the same issue your having that we are suffering from. Most of us in this thread use either tv or simple stereo receiver for sound, and that exactly where the problem lies. The Boxee Box needs te down sample the sound, usually a 5.1 soundtrack, either AC3 or DTS, and does so awfully leading to huge difference in sound output between a file with just stereo sound, like most podcasts such Tekzilla or Twit shows (any file with a 2.0 soundtrack) and divx files, compared to DVD rips or hd mkv rips. Now they claim this was fixed in a previous 1.1. build, but apparently its not.Originally Posted by vtxrider
Your receiver, the onkyo does the sound decoding for you, so you most likely will not have any issues relating downsample or anything else flakey the box may do with sound output. Assuming of course you have your boxee box hooked up with hdmi or optical audio, and its setup correctly so that it sends an ac3 or dts, or digital signal to your receiver and that your receiver is setup properly. But since your a senior member, I bet it is...
Now I am not gonna buy a 5.1 stereo set just because my Boxee box cannot properly downsample 5.1 back 2.0..
Note: Back in the day I tested it using analogue sound output, with two cinch jacks, issue still occurs on 1.0.4
