I hooked up my new Goodmans surround sound theatre system a couple of days ago as an early Christmas present and it was working fine :-). I watched a couple of crackin films with it on - then all of a sudden I come to turn it on today and it works for about 2 minutes, then there is no sound out of the speakers at all.
I turned it off then back on, and again there was normal sound, and then all of a sudden it went quiet after about 2 minutes.
I have tried turning it off and on about 5 or 6 times and it comes on with normal sound then after approximately 2 minutes it decides to go quiet and not work!
I have checked the instructions which are all fine and its plugged into the wall on its own.
It is showing the sound is still working through the systems box but yet no sound comes out of the speakers every time after 2 minutes!?
What could this be - your help is very much needed!! Please let me know if you have any ideas what it could be?
Best Wishes and a Happy Christmas!

Since your problem repeats AND it affects all of your speakers (not just one) then there is an electrical circuit short inside your reciever caused by either the chip that controls the audio is overheating and shuts down or there is a physical short in the motherboard that expands when the the board heats up. If the unit is under warranty I would return it and get another unit.

If you are confident the stereo is hooked up right, then I’m sure it is. An Xbox puts out sound in two channels, a left channel (The white plug) and a right channel (The red plug). A home theater system has a processor inside it that splits the audio into 5.1 format, sending the dialogue and main sound to the center, and sending what it thinks should be surrounding you to the surrounds. The reason the surround speakers are not very loud is because the receiver thinks all the game's sound should be front and center. There are two ways around this. 1. Change the setting on your receiver. On my Onkyo receiver, if I change the setting to “stereo direct” it comes out of the stereo speakers nicely. There are a lot of other settings like that. I’m sure your receiver has similar ones. 2. The Xbox actually has a digital (Optical) audio connection available for it ($30-40 USD). Optical connections carry all channels of sound (left, right, middle, back left, back right, subwoofer) in one cable. This attachment is sold at electronics stores and it plugs into the back of your Xbox the same way your Red, White, and Yellow plugs do (Xbox 360 has an optical output separate from the breakout cable). Assuming your receiver has optical input, your games would then be in 5.1 sound audibly. This cable was available at best buy some time ago, not sure if it is still in stock now that the Xbox 360 is out.

You have a short because something is expanding when it gets hot.

Maybe those crackin films cracked it.
