Problem - Gain out of my cable box to my Processor


I'm connecting my Cable Box to a surround processor (Meridian 565) using an optical cable. The sound is very low, I have to really crank it to hear. Tried using a digital cable and have the same issue. The sound is normal if I use either of the same connections coming from my bluray. Anybody had this experience? WHAT TO DO?

Thanks

I have Comcast and the same problem.
In the set up menu you can adjust for high compression, light compression or no compression, but no volumne level.

Most channels are ok , the ones that I have problems with are the Live Music Concerts. I really have to crank it up to get the volumne level.
I have to be careful when I change channels because of the huge sound level difference.
Calling Comcast does no good.
Same issue with Comcast and my Scientific Atlanta HD Box. I suppose you could set the volume to variable and turn it up for a particular movie/show you are watching but would suggest turning it back to fixed after that.

I have Verizon FIOS and it has both Compression as well as fixed/variable volume output. I previously had COMCAST but that was a long time ago and I don't recall what my setup options were. I believe there are devices that will level volume outputs for all channels, but I think they cost a couple hundred $s and it ticks me off the service providers won't do this w/i their systems.
Nick778, My Comcast (Motorola HD DVR box) will not allow any volume adjustments.
The 565 if I remember correctly has input sensivity ajustment from 1 volt to 3 volts for every input indepently. It should be in the manual.
