Changing your audio settings
Once you’ve connected your cables, make sure everything is turned on, and then change your audio option in settings.
A simple retune may do the trick:
Bring up the menu with your remote
Select Settings*
Go to the Box management area and select Picture & Sound
Select HDMI Audio Format or S/PDIF sound
Change this to Surround
Select Done
If you change HDMI Audio Format to surround, this will change your box volume to 100% and you won’t be able to change your volume using your box remote. You’ll need to use your surround sound remote.
*Depending on your box model, Settings will be on the last tab on the Main Menu or in a cog in the top right corner of the screen. You can get to the cog by pressing Up after opening the Main Menu. If you have the new Home Screen, you can access settings by pressing Up and then right after opening the home screen.
