New TV, in the New House. A beautiful Samsung The Frame Pro. I am having issues with the TOSLink connection. Every little bit, the sound will mute for several seconds. Very annoying.
First I got a better TOSLink cable. I chose a real glass fiber cable, and had just enough improvement to notice it, but pretty much still there.
I did some research, and learned of a lot of complaints citing fairly poor TOSLink implementation, over many years, in the Samsung TVs.
I, for one, thought that the ancient TOSLink SPDIF technology was trivial to implement at this point in time.
I bought a $25 HDMI->TOSLink converter, which totally corrected the sound issues. This proved that the cable is sufficient. Sound was good, with no gaps. However, there is too much delay introduced, making the system still unpalatable.
There was some discussion about “PLL” modes, and that changing that on the DAC side could clean up the poor signal.
Has anyone dealt with this issues, on any TOSLInk source? And if so, is there a solution.
I would also like to know if there is a TOSLink guru at MSB that might know of a solution.
Thanks. I am not ready to try and return a wall mounted 65 inch TV over this. I can try support. Just not sure replacing the box (this unit has a separate box to connect to the TV, which has minimal actual ports (power, mini HDMI and USB only)
