hi-- yeah, I am seeing this as well, but I was able to press the "speaker" button and the sound comes back. it's really kind of frustrating, I am trying to figure out what to do about it as well.

Kevin, a few things come to mind. One could be a bad sound card in the audio device. Another could be a bad set of audio cables at the speaker location. Hard to say.Eric C

I had a similar issue and eMailed ONKYO support with an explanation and request for an out of warranty repair. They approved my request because the problem was a bad HDMI board, which is a known issue. Good Luck.

Did you use the included RCA cables? I had this problem, changed out the cables for better quality, and it sounds great.

this is because something is going with cabling, high volume, speaker in process of going dead. I have one, and I have to tell you this is the worst receiver i have! My problem only happends viewing BD/DVD, mostly with Dolby Tru HD decoding and looking a very high frequencyt scenes liek the ones on Resident evil -extintion. I revise, reset, disconnect and do everything that the web site told me to. Also, I start testing each speaker, and disconnecting one speaker at a time and repeating the scene that is causing the protector to activate. I thaught I found the problematic speaker, but wrong, it happend again, same movie same scene...it is very frustratingMy advice, return the unnit, get a Yamaha.... this is because something is going with cabling, high volume, speaker in process of going dead.

I was told to send it to the manufacturer. My sound stopped working. I was using an HDMI connection to my projector from my surround sound. I think the hdmi board fizzled out on me.

I ll suggest you go to soundbot website and drop a message to their tech support team. They are very responsive....

Had the same issue as the sound went out on the TV after 13 months. There is no headphone jack, so my SIGMAC is in my garage waiting to be hauled away.

ditto on the audio drop out. Turning the tv for just a second seems to fix it. It did the audio trick with both the rca cable and the hdmi cable.

Did you get it? I have one of them, it doesn't work. Neither do 3 others I have tried in the last week though, so I think I have a bad sound card. Sorry - I think it worked alright before it stopped working, but I could not swear it and I have a PC. Good luck.

I had problems with mine at first. I called OSD Audio to trouble shoot the problem. I ended up sending them back to OSD Audio and they rebuilt them. They have work great ever sense. I've used them for about a year now.

I do not actually have this receiver. but, now that that is out of the way, thought i still might be able to help. generally, the protection circuitry shuts the unit down when there is a problem with speaker wiring, like a short or miswire, that's what i would check first, another possibility is you have a damaged cable, like the hdmi is messed up internally, try swapping in a different cable after you check the speaker wires. hope this helps!

I have two units. One is dead silent in the idle mode, the other has a barely detectable white noise. Try double-clicling on the Play/Stop button to change into another audio mode, such as for speech.

Try switching speaker wires.....if still not working,it is most likely the unit itself.

Having the same problem Herberto is having, where I hear the high pitched background noise and cyclic modulation, even if I turn the volume down to 0. Seems much worse when I try to use my AV sources rather than cable, though playing MP3s through the USB port sounds fine. Muting (compared to turning the volume down to zero) doesn't produce the noise, but unlike a bunch of people above, I didn't notice an improvement with my external speakers.
