no audio when using HDMI........ SOMETIMES if i turn off and on the tv 2 3 or 4 times it will start getting sound..... getting a great picture

the set-up is direct tv receiver, to hdmi power splitter, to two tvs one no trouble the other no sound most of the time.......have tried switching the cable to the 2ed trouble tv in the splitter still no sound.
If I turn off on the second tv many times I will get sound ........I have dvd hooked up to the troubled tv no trouble with the sound.....
I have tried different HDMI plugs on the tv still no sound
what is going on here
picture in always good
 
If you get sound and picture on the TV without the distribution amplifier then I would say that is your problem. There is a reason why there are cheap ones and expensive ones. If you can try a different brand of HDMI cable that can also be the problem. You could move the TV close to the amp if you don't have a long enough cable.
