OK, WTF am I doing wrong

James Edward:
Also try a different HDMI input on the TV if you haven’t done so already- the HDMI cable is likely the digital signal carrier.
Along this line of thinking, check if there’s an HDMI setting in the cable box menu, and make sure it’s outputting the desired signal.

_Scotty_:
Most sets nowadays have a menu selection labeled Sound,Audio output, buried in the settings menu. My TV has two choices PCM output and Dolby Digital Plus output. You should choose PCM output. This may solve the problem. No guarantees.
Good luck.

Messed around with things last night. Tried again with no luck from tele to dac so I switched the feed to the cable box. I have been told that doing it that way could have sync problems with video but I just wanted to see if I got anything. Got the same sound. So now I'm thinkin maybe the dac section is screwed up. Took the Mytek Liberty from the office and plugged in tele to Liberty to pre. SAME THING!!! Didn't go cable box to Liberty cause I just gave up at that point. Ordered a new Toslink today cause that's about the only thing I can think of.
Will let ya know in a couple a days.
Anybody heard of a toslink messing up like that?
Scotty: how does one reclock a toslink?

_Scotty_:
I wish I could say for sure that re-clocking the toslink data from the TV would solve the problem.
At this point there is no way to know if in fact that this is source of the problem.
Wyred4sound makes the only toslink  re-clocker that I know of at this time and its not inexpensive at
$399. https://wyred4sound.com/products/digital-converters/remedy-reclocker
 Hopefully you could explain the problem you have to the dealer and in the event that this wasn't the
solution you could return it for a refund.
Here's the dealer locator page. There appear to be three U.S. dealers.

 If you had access to even the cheapest home theater receiver with a toslink input you could see if your TV functioned with it. At this point we don't have a piece of gear to confirm that the toslink output is functional at all other than seeing a red light at the end of the cable from the toslink output.

Don,

There was a thread at AC about a toslink issue with an AVA dac. Finally the owner took a can of compressed air and blew it into the connector and problem solved. Might be worth a try.
