Hi, I have an LG 32LH3000 TV witj Sky+HD and my PS3 connected via HDMI. Connected to the TV via optical, I have an LG HT805SH Home theatre system that I bought last week.

Now, my understanding is that the TV should pass through the Dolby/PCM audio from the HDMI to the optical without so much as looking at it, but it seems that the TV is resampling everything that goes in to PCM so my movies and games aren't coming out as they should unless I connect them via optical directly to the Sky+HD/PS3.

Obviously this isn't ideal, I've tried playing with the audio settings on the TV but I still get PCM through it whereas if I connect the device directly; I get Dolby.

Can anyone make any suggestions?

Thanks
Graham
