Yes...Very frustrating..I can get sound with Stereo, but not 5.1...Really makes the HD feeds useless...

"We went to the Roku audio settings and changed from 5.1 surround sound to stereo and that worked for us."This fixed the issue for me too while trying to watch Transformer: Dark Side of the Moon

I plugged in a Roku streaming stick and it works if that helps. Sound on device is okay for quiet situations. I have mine on a home theater system.

I have not succeeded in setting up Amazon Video directly on this set. Instead, I set up Amazon Video on my connected TIVO. Also, some modern BluRay players, and other streaming devices like ROKU can access Amazon Video. Sorry if this is not much help.

I'm running windows 8.1 x64 pro. The xonar software won't work with 8.1. And I'm not getting 5.1 from Hulu or amazon video from the web just a generic 5 channel output. VLC will play in 5.1 from mkv.

Not receiving any audio with Roku XDS, on Amazon. Other channels work fine. Had to have someone help me connect in the first place, and I don't know what to do next. Ideas?

I have exactly this same setup and problem. No ideas. Samsung mentioned that they don't support PiP, which seems like a ridiculous ideas since we can see video but just not get the audio. Jake

You should be able to stream Amazon video if you access it using Chrome browser. Otherwise, try sideloading Adobe flash version that's a generation older. That has worked with my Android tablets.

When you asked this question, Amazon App wasn't AirPlay enabled. However, it now works via AirPlay so am responding here incase others have the same question

I have XMBC (frodo build) installed on my EB1503 (as I use the box as a media server) it has no problems with any of the HD audio associated with video codecs (DTS & Dolby TrueHD). I've never tried streaming from an online source (as I only have DSL). My audio/video goes over HDMI to my Onkyo TX-NR608. My experience would say that it is your decoding software having problems, not the EB1503 hardware.

Check out the threads on avsforum.com and you should find a solution to your problem. I'm using the 705 with Cox cable box and Netflix streaming (Roku) inputs and have had NO audio sync issues but have seen some reports of them on the website I referred you to. Cheers

HEY FRANK: Dont think you are crazy. Adobe pulled its support for Amazon Unbox videos and the like. So, you simply wont be able to play your videos over your Asus until Amazon finds a way to patch or come up with a ew system of allowing people like you and I to watch the videos we have purchased. It licks balls because if you cant watch movies over it, whats the point, right? I have been assured that Amazon is working on this and will have a fix sooner than later. Until then, I either just watch stuff on Hulu or Youtube or, watch the stuff you have on Amazon at home over your Toshiba like I do.

I have had no issues retrieving AP streaming. Did you fully load all updates and retain the same e-mail account linked to your Amazon account to insure your Equipment will see the correct account information

The problem is 5.1 vs 2.1. Anything in dolby 5.1 needs a center channel speaker to hear the voice track clearly. Change the channel to 2.1 and you will hear the voices. Netflix is one service that offers this easily and hopefully others will get onboard.

It seems like you used to be able able to - but I think they deactivated the output in the last few updates. Same goes for Netflix & Amazon Instant Video

Hmmm, I've not had this issue. Generally I use the usb plug on the unit and then can use its (somewhat primitive) menu via the tv/monitor. It works through all the channels for me. I suppose if you're looking for a 5.1 or 7.1 situation then it would depend on the audio file type. I hope this helps...
