The only settings on the Apple TV that affect your audio, are "Dolby Digital" and "audio out". If you have tried all the combinations of these settings (although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users), then the problem most likely is in the audio equipment that is connected to the Apple TV.


Also make sure that you have correctly mapped the input port on your sound system to the output, if you are unsure about how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your sound system.


Have you tried playing various content sources (i.e. podcasts, music, iTunes Store video, other video etc), do you have the same problem with all types of comments? You might also check that you can see a red light at the end of your optical audio cable. Is your optical audio cable plugged straight into your sound system, or does it go through a switch or other device?
