Some recent Downloads of movies or tv programmes with Apple TV have picture but screeching and crackling for sound.

Some recent Downloads of movies or tv programmes with Apple TV 2 have picture but screeching and crackling for sound. I had downloaded a programme from a series which WAS fine,then a subsequent download of another episode in the same series ruined the 1st. Does anyone know what is wrong? I have also download some free programmes since then and the sound is fine on those.

AppleTV 2, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), crackling and screeching sound

Thanks so much Mario. I had checked all my cables several times. I changed Auto to 16 bit and turned off dolby as you suggested and it seems to be fine. Thank you for taking the time to show me what to do. Happy New Year. J
