hey all audiophiles, i had a 5.1 ch setup with receiver at home with a sub. All BD player, Xbox, and tvbox connect to Receiver than receiver connect to TV. all on hdmi cable.

Playing BD via Bluray player and Xbox so far the sub is working nicely with the bass. but for Tvbox (unblock) connect via HDMI to receiver, the sub is not working. my question is:
1. is it becuase tvbox movie file don't have bass like BD file.
2. or is it i need to add in some extra stuff e.g converter etc..to have the sub produce bass?

thank you and apology if this is noob questions

what kind of upmixing that you are selecting on ur receiver when u play for TVbox Dolby PL? DTS Neo? what kind of AVR u r using? unlike BD playback.. TVBox normally runs stereo so no LFE signal/minimal LFE will be send from AVR to your active sub. I suspect that will be the case.. but need to how more about ur setup and the playing upmixing from tvbox.

alright. let me share abit on my simple setup.

1. Pioneer amp/receiver
2. Jamo speakers x 5 with anoteh jamo subwoofer
3. Connection from Unblock tvbox to amp is hdmi.
4. then TV connect to Amp via HDMI

the upmixing or selection - i had tried all such as: DTS neo, prologic, advance surround, FS surround focus...and many more...but i actually not sure what they meant la. So far none activating the subwoofer. so maybe is the TVbox file is not meant with 5.1ch audio i believe?

hdmi connection no problem.
im not sure pioneer remote can press DISPLAY he will show signal type from tvbox.
mostly cheap tvbox has no surround codecs. so avr will using subwoofer if your setup front channel=small.
large wont be using subwoofer.

am using unblock ProS TVbox gen7. i think maybe because of the tvbox. but just curious to know if anyone setup differently or additional gadget i missed out.

does your pioneer allows you to check input and output audio channel? by right your input should be 2 front channel but if you are using upmixing like Dolby Prologic it will up mix it to 5.1..
i know denon does give u that info when u press info button but i m not sure about pioneer.

also you can try to set your front speaker to small(not full range) like what shifu had advice. Does your subwoofer really no playing OR its playing too soft? maybe u can crank it louder to check if the sub is playing or not..

am abit noob in the setup...what do you guys meant by set front speaker to small? all 5 speakers produce sound when i set other upmixing but only sub not playing, even i turn the sub to "on" rather than "auto".
