Decoder mute

[GiP]

Hi,

it happened three or four times in the last month...

Usually when I am pressing buttons quickly (so maybe I pressed a wrong one), the decoder goes on "mute".
The decoder, not the TV (I didn't even know it was possible), the usal speaker with X logo appear in the top
left corner and the "mute" button still mutes and un-mutes the TV but I couldn'find a way to un-mute the STB
either in the help or in the menus.

The only way was Deep stand-by and restart (usual stand-by doesn't work).

Is there a button or sequence of b. for that?

Thanks,

G

Are you saying pressing Volume + or mute on your box remote does not work?

I suspect he's configured the remote to control the tv using the volume/mute buttons.

OpenWebif has a remote which would allow you to reset the volume on the stb.

Can't imagine how the VU got muted in the first place, unless a button has been reconfigured to do it, perhaps?

They both act on the TV, as they should.

If your using a programmable remote afraid no fix imho.

I use harmony and it does happen couple of times a month and it's the remote not box.

Yes.

I don't think I have ever used OpenWebIf. If it is a solution I'll try it. Is it ON by default?

I didn't think it was possible either. I have couple button reconfigured but nothing to do with Audio.

Default is to control box only. Remote may have been reprogrammed or it is a HDMI CEC setting that has been set.

As above, change volume/unmute in openwebif. Enter the IP address or hostname of your receiver in your web browser on phone or PC.

You need to connect to your VU using a pc, use the ip address or name as the URL, Openwebif will then appear.

It looks like this muting problem is rare, but does happen.

Have you a spare button you could configure in ViX to mute/unmute? A long press option should be easy to find.

EDIT: Probably not such a good idea, I don't think mute is an option in button setup.

OK, next time I'll try WebIf
