They're wondering why your HDMI isn't going to the tv..

I didn't see this. You running a surround sound system? You shouldnt be going into it with HDMI in the first place, you should use a digital (optical) audio cable (the little box that lights up). You also need to ground the receiver.

I realize this but why take up an HDMI for it. Fiber optics also work better. Also, if he's going to run a gaming console to it and wants to use surround it ain't gonna happen with HDMI.

Correct..But you're going into a "switch" essentially and then hoping for the best signal out, when you could just go straight to the source.

Exactly.

Try hooking up a game console and playing it through a surround sound system with HDMI and holler back.

So this guy isn't running all his components to his home theater receiver ? Then run one HDMI from the receiver to the TV. I must be missing something here.

What you're missing is that the TV only has HDMI inputs, not outputs. You can't run everything through the receiver because then you won't have video.

I had a similar issue at one time with my plasma TV having a scrolling bar going from bottom to top. Granted it was a video problem rather than audio, but the solution may be the same. Turns out it was a ground loop and this fixed it:

Not trying to be a dick but I still don't understand. I run my cable box, DVD, PS3 etc to the receiver. Then I run one HDMI cable from the receiver to the TV. What am I missing ?
