isn't this it ?

...That's about Octagon drivers, nothing to do with SundTek.

[skippie]

ok, but it will create virtual tuners with the sundtek usb dvb-c tuner

[Huevos]

isn't this it ?

No. I think you don't understand.

INFO: 4 x VTuner (USB) possible (4 x Virtual USB tuner possible)

VTuner = USB tuner.

So it means the Octagon drivers support up to four USB tuners.

But you only have one USB tuner.

It doesn't matter if the drivers support up to five billion tuners, if you only have one tuner installed that is all you can use.

New drivers again today.

Just replying to the above drivers, I,ve tried on two occaisions to update to Vix 5 0 0 27, from vix 26.
And on both occasions i,ve lost Audio and had to revert back to Vix26.

The method i used to update was through the sf4008 menu-softwareupdate.

Is anyone else having this problem ?

[ccs]

The last driver release mentioned is not in 5.0.027, but has a fix for "ac3 no works. : fixed".

[dlmlus]

yes i know, its when i update to 27 from 26. I lose audio.
Enigma 2 is not new to me, Having bought a number of box,s from the sponsor.

As soon as i try to update to Vix 27, I lose audio.

[ccs]

.....and the audio problem (AC3) is fixed in the next driver release, which is not in 027.

When drivers change or any anything "major" I would always flash the image and restore backup settings. I personally would not software update (although I realise I am probably in a minority of 1) and because of that view I never software update.
Might not stop your issue, but a new flash is worth trying

... although just read on another forum similar posts ref audio, so perhaps 2 steps forward by Octagon and 1 step back?

Thank you twol.
As always you explain things in laymans terms, And not in a cryptic fashion.
And i sure not only myself appreciate that.

I will possibly try a usb flash or may wait untill things settle.

Thank you once again.
