Hi Chris,

Yes. I believe that is the case with my unit. The seller only used it to display video (the HDMI output), and when I asked him to test/check the HDMI for audio, he said he couldn't get any audio output, but:

He also advised, he did not use the PC/Mconfig at all, as his dealer upgraded it to v4 and he simply hooked it up when he received it back from be dealer. He just doesn't know whether audio on the HDMI exists.or not.

I'm hoping I can switch 'on' HDMI audio in the Mconfig but, based on the above.. I'm holding very little hope. I think you're right - the earliest VE12-only (V4) upgrades, appear to have no HDMI audio.

No matter though.. I'll be using Smartlink and the coax output, and:

If I can find a VI00 video card to install separately, hopefully that will still switch video.. but you're right, it's all a bit of a crapshoot/guessing process as to whether an aftermarket install of a VI00 card would actually work in this unit I'm about to receive.
