    A wild guess - find your free sat remote control and turn its volume to full.

  • I have a similar issue, with the Humax going directly to the TV via an HDMI lead. The last couple of weeks the audio output levels from the box have dropped, so have to adjust the TV volume depending on whether I'm watching live or recorded programmes.
  • I have a Humax 1100 connected to a Sony TV directly connected via HDM, I'm using a Sony soundbar. On non-HD channels the comfortable sound level setting is 28 (i.e 28%), however on HD channels the sound level is much quieter and requires around a setting of 40 to be comfortable. I believe this due to HD channels using Dolby Digital audio.
