New Problem-Bose Solo does not play audio from BluRay disc

by max43well - 9/22/12 8:34 PM

Yes, I have another problem with the Bose Solo soundbar. I appreciate the feedback I have received thus far with the problems I have been having in attempting to get this soundbar to work with the equipment that I have.

There is no audio output from the Bose Solo on Blu-Ray discs. This problem only occurs with Blu-Ray discs. Regular DVD discs the Bose outputs the audio fine.
Also, there is audio on the blu-ray disc only on the 'Main Menu' part of the disc, once I select 'Play Movie' the audio is lost.
The Bose is connected directly to the blu-ray player via an optical (Toslink) cable. (The blu-ray player is connected to the HDTV with an HDMI cable for the video.)
With the Bose connected directly to the blu-ray player I simply do not understand why it will not provide audio for blu-ray discs. There is a bright red glow at the end of the optical cable that plugs into the Bose, so I know it is getting a signal.
Any ideas???

Do not send it any 5.1 or such surround sound.

You'll want to send it stereo or PCM.

This is not how it is intended to be used

You need to only use the HDTV to Bose connection, not the Blu Ray to Bose connection. It's not a full fledged AV receiver, which could actually handle multiple inputs.

Problem solved.

Thanks for the replies! As recommended, I opened the blu-ray players menu, and settings, and under audio I changed the setting from 'Bitstream HD' to 'PCM'. This was all I had to do to get the audio to play on the blu-ray disc.

Thank you R. Proffitt for your recommended fix. That did the trick.

audio format

The SoLo only supports Dolby soundtracks and does not support DTS soundtracks. If your BluRay movie only does DTS for surround sound, then de-select this and select PCM stereo (if possible) in your movie settings. This should work. To verify your movie soundtrack format, you can usually find the audio logo on the back of the movie's case or on the disc itself. Hope this helps.

hooking up bose solo to bluray dvd player

I had same problem. Got my son over and he hooked it up .
your bluray has to be hooked to your tv by hdmi cable.
take the fibre optic cable and hook it from the TV to the Bose solo. Do not hook any other audio wires from the bluray to TV.
start a bluray dvd movie.
using your tv control go to input, this should show you the connections available. My LG says component for tv and HDMI for bluray. Select HDMI. You shpuld now have sound playing from bluray movie. mine is awsome.
