I installed a Grundig Freeview HD box and it's connected to a HD ready TV; I get good audio & video on a SCART connection, but good video and only noise on audio with a HDMI cable connection. DVD player and laptop give good audio & video on HDMI cable on the TV; I've swapped HDMI cables, but no difference. I'm mystified as are Grundig techsupport and my local aerial engineer. Any ideas what could be the issue; do I need to use a separate audio connection?

Thanks, Briantist ... your comment is eminently reasonable ... but, it's the 3rd GUD300 box I've installed from 2 different suppliers! Is that too much bad luck to be true?

To update on Grundig GUD300HD issues; engineer has been on site and can't figure out a reason for the noise problem on HDMI; he can only suggest a 'conflict' between the box and the TV and that I should try another box (or HDTV). Unfortunately, I have to decide here & now to return the box to the supplier (within the 7 days).

Thanks again Briantist, audio settings of 'stereo' & 'auto' don't improve audio output - just regular 'popping' but no real sound signal when conencted by HDMI. Other devices when connected by HDMI give perfect audio & video; set-top box gives perfect video but just audio noise on HDTV. Output from box by SCART is normal.
