    Default Sound Cuts Out

    Hello,

    Recently got myself a "Dgtec HD8040" HD set top box ($99 from dick smith) and for some reason from time to time the sound cuts out for maybe 30 seconds to a minute.
    The picture quality/motion is never lost, only the sound.
    It happens moreso on the HD channels, but sometimes on the SD channels no matter what station it is.
    The onscreen signal meter states I am getting 73% signal quality which is not that bad (I guess) as I am on the outer suburbs on Sydney.

    The antenna and cabling was professionally installed only a year or so old.
    Cable Type: RG6-QS.
    Antenna Type: Hills Antenna OMX450.
    High: 6m Mast.
    Mast Booster: Kingray MDA20L Masthead Distribution Amplifier

    Do you think I simply got a dodgy box, or is there something else wrong here?
    Or do you think I should spend some extra cash and get a Strong 5410 or something?

    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Sounds OK, I would test and plug it on your neighbors or one of your relatives house before deciding to get another set top box. What you got to look at is the Signal Quality,in your case its acceptable,this should give you picture and sound (no problems) another thing to watch out for is interference,you might have interference or dodgy audio cables.

    Just an update.
    The problem was a dodgy audio cable. It now works no problems.

    Thanks.
