Did you by any chance upgrade your receiver so you could play UHD HDR content, and have enabled "Enhanced HDMI" mode on the ports between the T2 and TV? If so, then this is the likely cause of the loss of audio. The T2's old HDMI chipset doesn't support the latest HDMI video signalling st...

Just curious, but what happened to the T2's original remote? The remote in the picture is for a T3 (but it will work perfectly well with a T2).
That's what it came with, just used it to setup and put away. Was using a Harmony 650 for day-to-day.
