Hi all, i have Himedia Q16, any of you experience low voice volume and loud everything else in movie? some say because the movie was encoded for 5.1. haha i'm using only built in TV speakers.

Any software can make everything to stereo?

Thank you in advanced.

I thought there is stereo output on the box. Can't you use this to connect to your TV or your TV do not have RCA connector for L and R audio?

errr.....my TV got left and right audio. But i used HDMI cable to connect my box to tv, so it also delivers sound i guess.

Depends on TV. Some will pass the 5.1 surround signal and some will not. Normally however, the TV has internal mixer to convert the 5.1 into stereo sound. Since the 5.1 sound can be split into any speaker, the sound produced after mixer might not be good. Normally voice are channeled to center speaker, but if it is channeled to L and R front, the stereo re-production might become faint or more like background sound.

I suggest that you try to connect the L R audio cable also. See how the result. It will not do any harm and the wire is cheap. Even if you have surround speakers later, you can just turn off the TV speakers volume. The mixer the the player normally will produce more better sound because it is mixed at source, not the the output  wink.gif

the low voice-loud music thingy is normal for 5.1 or 7.1 files. to avoid that, u just get lower grade files with 2.0 audio.

u can try other audio settings, much the same, i tried before.
the rca l/r audio cables are meant to work with composite video output. if u connect both hdmi and l/r to same tv at same time, the l/r will be nulled.
if u use l/r audio with composite video, the video sucks! biggrin.gif

Hehe no harm trying i would say. I never run 1080 due to bandwidth issue, maybe the video quality won't be so noticeble. Most of the app doesn't let us choose what kind of audio quality. My place can't run popcorn, so i'm left with showbox and skyHD. Most of the time running on showbox only.

well, when you have better broadband, >10mbps and a fairly new 5.1 home theater, you will be able to get the max out of the Q16.

Q16 is excellent for 2 things:

- large flash memory allows the largest 1080p files in popcorn to stream nicely
- audio pass thru for dtshdma, ddtruehd and dolby atmos

UPDATE: Problem fixed!!! Yeaaa!! Apparently Samsung smart tv audio setting can switch to night mode. This make the soft dialogue louder and sound softer.
