If the chip is malfuntioning, you don't get power to the amps and thus no sound. I don't know why onkyo designed the unit this way but, the power for the amp section is passed through this DTS chip. More specifically a problem with the DTS chip loacated on the HDMI board. This is the first time it has happened and I wasn't getting sound out of any of the seven channels or subwoofer.Īfter reading many threads, one common theme presented itself. I did have my display screen go out on my last unit and now my current unit has developed a problem with the sound dropping out today. This is my fourth onkyo unit and for the most part they have been good units. There was page after page about this problem.

I did a quick google search and it appears that this is a known bug with these onkyo receivers. I tried switching inputs and still didn't work. I tried power cycling all my equipment and still no good. When I powered the unit up it would pass a video signal and I was getting a picture but, I couldn't get sound on any source. We had some thunderstorms in Kentucky this morning and I assume I had a power surge of some type. I am very happy with both Spotify and my Onkyo, but would be sad if they stopped working together.Well, I got home from work today and my receiver was screwed up. (vTuner (internetradio) functions flawless on my TX-NR515.)Īfter the firmware update I have switched of and turned on my Router > Switch > Onkyo > iPad (in that order).ĭoes anybody have any suggestions to solve this problem? The connection of the Onkyo to the network and the internet seems fine. The Onkyo TX-NR515 is visible on my Home LAN-network. The Onkyo Remote 3 App functions without any problems with my TX-NR515. IPad/Onkyo App: Remote 3, version 1.1.0 (5 December 2014). IPad/Spotify App: Spotify, version 2.2.0 (11 December 2014). IPad: iPad2 with iOS 8.1.2, iPad is connected through Wifi with my Router (ZTE H368N). Router: KPN Experiabox (ZTE H368N, firmware V1.01.00T09.4v2) The Switch is connected with cable to a Router (ZTE H368N). Onkyo TX-NR515 is connected with cable to a Switch (Sitecom). I could listen to Spotify before this firmware update using my Onkyo Remote 2 app on my iPad.

I can operate Spotify on my desktops using my iPad.) This means no more Spotify for me on my TX-NR515. (Other devices are listed, like my desktops. The Spotify app on my iPad2 (iOS) does not list my TX-NR515 as a available device when I click on the Spotify Connect icon. My Onkyo TX-NR515 still works fine, with the exception of Spotify Connect. I updated my Onkyo TX-NR515 the latest firmware of 18 December 2014 (Version 1171-6110-0500) succesfully. I have a similar problem, though not identical problem.
