Re: Does audio out to amp have to be optical?
Okay, so finally got around to trying brand new HDMI cables and then pulled the plug on the optical cable and sound played just fine! So the assertion by Telus support that the only way to get audio was through optical, turns out to be completely false. Not sure why my older HDMI would not work for sound though. Odd.5.2KViews0likes1CommentRe: Does audio out to amp have to be optical?
Yes, I take the optical cable away and no sound comes out of the amp, so the cable is not disabling the HDMI audio and as I say, audio passes through without issue for other devices. Anyway, you are confirming here that you use an amp and have audio from Telus box, to amp and out to speakers via HDMI only, that is, without an optical cable. Now I can go back to Telus and tell them another user confirms that. Thanks.5.6KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Does audio out to amp have to be optical?
Right, but I think my first issue is determining if what Telus told me is correct or not. Does audio from the box to the amp have to go through optical? That would surprise me as HDMI should always carry audio as it does for the other devices, but that's what the agent told me even after checking with her superior.5.7KViews0likes0CommentsDoes audio out to amp have to be optical?
If I use HDMI direct to my TV, I get video and audio. If I use HDMI into my amp and then out from amp to TV, I only get video, but no audio, so I have to use an optical cable. That works fine, but I was trying to clean up my wires and saw that audio is not actually better with optical, so why can't I get audio via HDMI when I run it through the amp?5.8KViews0likes10CommentsRe: Telus Boost Network Connection Dropping on iPhone XR and MacBook Pro
I am having the very same problem with Macs and iPhones since my hardware was upgraded to the boosters. If I plug in my own Apple router, wifi is perfect. Wired ethernet internet is perfect too, so it's just wifi via those boosters. This thread is really useful for Telus to see. Can anyone report a solid resolution?31KViews1like41Comments
