I am trying to get the audio portion of my cable to go through a D/A converter, Denon DVD-5000, by using either the coax or optical cable. I am using the D/A as my headphone amp for now. Wife wants me to ‘turn the TV down” so headphones will solve the WAF problem.Anyway, when I plug in the cable, coax or opitical, in to the digital out on the cable box the D/A shows a 48 upsample rate (?) received signal but no sound at the headphones even turning volume up all the way. I have run both cables from a DVD player to both inputs on the Denon and headphones work fine. So I am concluding that cables and Denon are operating fine, why then no audible signal from the outs on the cable box?

Most likely your DAC neeeds to see a PCM stream. I've seen some cable boxes that can be set to output PCM instead of dolby digital, but not comcast's. try an inexpensive panny ht receiver.

I looked at his post and thought there was an easy answer...and promptly went brain dead.

I had a Denon 3803 receiver that worked with the digital outputs from the Comcast dual HD tuner DVR. My Arcam pre/processor also works.As "El Cheapo" already mentioned, your Denon is probably not able to decode the Dolby digital signal from the cable box.
