Oh. I feel so stupid, but of course there was a setting on the VidiU: Sound | Input, and it was set to Analogue. Thank you very much!

@DavidHjelm - nothing stupid about it.  Mistakes like that happen all the time.  It seems simple once you know what it is, but there can be a pretty good number of variables to keep track of.  Best bet for a case like this is usually to follow and verify the signal path as much as possible, but that can be tough depending on what resources you have available at the time.

<p>I'm trying to get a Sony PMW-EX1R XDCAM to output HDMI for live streaming (using Teradek Vidiu). The picture looks fine, but it seems to lack audio. Is there a setting that I'm missing, or is it impossible to use HDMI in this way? </p>

Does Sony PMW-EX1R HDMI output contain audio?
