purchased 2 new blurays to watch on my hcs yesterday.
Popped in tokyo drift animated menu loads with noise > press play no sound in movie?
Ejected disc tried Q.o.s in there, same deal pre ads, the menu all have sound. But the movie is silent.
Thought no problem, just need a firmware update. 5mins later downloaded and installed > problem persists 
Why arent i getting sound? My HCS is a Panasonic sa-pt460 which isnt hd sound. But does everything else i think?
I managed to play the directors commentary but not in the movie?
I can only think that maybe i need Hd sound to hear it?!
Bd player is panasonic bd35

There will be a setting somewhere that's sending the wrong signal to the amp.
Find the configuration and set it to output dolby digital or dts (if the amp is connected via optical or hdmi)

Been through the settings and they are fine, work just the same as all my other blu rays discs which al work perfectly.
Ther dolby logo disapears off the LCD display when the movie starts, could this be the problem, i looked on the back of the boxes and dolby isnt mentioned

QOS comes with 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio which i'm assuming your amp doesn't support.
The fact it's working with the commentary suggests that it's outputting a format the amp can decode then the movie is outputting the full uncompressed audio.
There will be a setting either on the blu-ray menu or on the blu-ray players menu somewhere to tell it to output dolby digital or some format that amp can decode.

It's in the pop-up menu mate when the film is playing, select language then you will be able to select your sound track, you'll want Dolby Digital 5.1, the default setting may be Dolby TrueHD which your home cinema kit won't be able to understand.
Had the same problem the other day but the other way around, couldn't get it to play in TrueHD!
Hope this helps

Theres no option on tokyo drift, it just gives different language variants. If i do it through the BD player it gives me Dolby, i select it and then the commentaty starts playing 
Ill have to go check QOS

a blu-ray rip? didnt think there was any rips that had HD audio due to the massive size of the audio data?

at the animated menu, go into setup etc before you start the movie. In there you should be able to select dolby digital, or dts. Then start the film, and it should play. The fact your dolby digital/dts led is going off says that the blu ray is sending the amp something other than dd/dts, and thats usually changed in disk's setup.

Just checked, it is a blu-ray rip, an IMAX blue planet, was looking for something 1080p and that was high on the list of most seeders.

yeah seems that way, thats pretty cool didnt know you could get HD audio in rips, that said theres not really a decent way to output HD audio to an amp from pc that doesnt cost a stupid ammount of money.

No doubt i'll end up getting no audio from it but it's just the video i'm interested in.

na you will get audio whatever media player you are using will just software decode it and send it as dts or dd 5.1.
unless your using something that bit streams HD audio but then you would have to use a xonar card or something to transmit that over hdmi, there still quite buggy at the min.

Jambo - sounds like the film is defaulting to HD audio, can you press info or a similar button on the remote as it should indicate on screen what auido is being played. I would be very surpirsed if the DVD actually didnt have a DTS track, i would be even more surprised if it didnt have a DTS track and your Blu ray palyer couldnt play the core DTS of the track.
SSJ - Acutally I have read MKV container is very close to being able to hold HD audio.
You can acutally get Blu Ray rips with HD audio, it is generally files that are .TS, they are (iirc TS-Mpeg) these are the streams on the bluray disc which are extracted - these can then be demuxed compressed with h264 and then remuxed with the HD audio.
