Would it be worth to try to connect audio from the audio extractor via spdif/coax instead of analog to the BV to get sound ?
I think Guy's hint to run video through DVI, and feed some random audio from a phone is a good idea to find out if there is something with the audio signal coming from the extractor. Where are you based BeoIce? I have an extractor lying around that I can send to you. I do not need it anymore. I just tested it with a BV6 using a laptop, and it works with the headphone out (audio connection set to 'none' btw). I could not get audio from the S/PDIF coax out. Let me know if you want to give it a go. Regards, Johan

I used it with AppleTVs previously, but I could test it with a (regular) Chromecast as well. Needs a bit of time as I need to borough back that Chromecast I gave my brother :-).

BeoIce mention in the first post that his converter works with SAT SetTopBox and it works with Apple TV 2.

So the problem must be related to the audio formats supported by Google TV.

I guess we can ask BeoIce to confirm that the new converter from Amazon works with other HDMI sources.

Just to re-confirm the problem only persist with Google TV

Yes, I got that (a bit late :-)). Still my obsolete converter could maybe be ignoring the EDID handshake that Guy mentioned, and a lucky shot to solve the issue.

I am such an idiot.

It's so long ago that I configured an old B&O TV.

My setup was:

Technisat SAT receiver HDMI out --> HDMI auto switch port 1 -->  HDMI to DVI Cable --> TV DVI IN.

Technisat SAT Receiver Scart Audio --> TV AV1 scart

Apple TV 2 HDMI out--> HDMI audio extractor --> split video/audio -> Video: HDMI auto switch port 2/ Audio --> TV AV2 scart

Then I added the Chromecast /w Google TV to the HDMI auto switch port 3 and configured AV3 on the B&O TV, but didn't have in mind that this requires Audio IN on AV3 scart. If there's no connection then there's no audio.

As I didn't use the Apple TV 2 anymore I removed it and installed the Chromecast to the same connections of the Apple TV 2 instead.

Now I have video and audio.

Thank you all for your input.

Yes, you are an 'idiot'.

But at least an honest one.

That is appreciated.

Next time you seek help, tell the full story. You did not mention the HDMI switch. Which could also cause affect the trouble shooting.

Glad you got i working. Enjoy.
