Another help request?

Using a Denon 8500 with 7.1 layout

when I do the "check levels" test on say my front left speaker the check plays through all my other speakers?

If I run a sweep most of the sweep comes through the selected speaker, but can also be heard on all my other speakers?
any suggestions appreciated
Regards
Andy

Sounds like you may have a processing mode selected which is synthesising output on other channels. The mode needs to be some form of direct which doesn't apply processing.

Thanks John
I will need to check that out
If I remember correct the AVR is showing "Multichannel 7.1" on the display which I think is right?
AFAIK there is no other processing being done

Using long HDMI cables can sometimes cause problems with audio appearing on the wrong channels.

Using long HDMI cables can sometimes cause problems with audio appearing on the wrong channels.

The HDMI is a 10 foot Amazon basic High speed with Ethernet
I wonder if the Ethernet part is causing the problem?

Just bumping to feedback that a suggestion was made that for windows 10 to delete the AVR driver and reinstall it
this seems to have fixed the issue
