I would say the sound is from your sonicview and not the HHD , have you tried another HHD ?
It's worth a shot.I would just use a usb thumb drive,32gb or less for test purposes.Format it using the format utility on the SV.If it doesn't recognized the thumb drive, format in windows to fat32/default allocation size.Quote:

The hard drive/thumb drive its self can't distort the audio as it's encoded in binary, does this happen on all recorded programs or just one or two? If all then I would say it's something in the receivers recording software, a bug maybe.
Thanks for the feedback's swan and Terryl.Have 2 working HD Sonicviews with same results has reacured on multable channel recordings and 2 different 1TB HD's.Is it possable it could be my Sony Digital Receiver ?
How are you feeding the audio to the Sony? Optical, coaxial, HDMI or L/R analog?
What is the model number of the Sony?

While recording, any glitch in the whole system from IP, server, weather, HDDs etc. will put things out a wack (recording issues etc.)
That's why I never bothered with recording anything, to many screw-ups.
maybe the input audio level is to hight that will distort
Thanks for your imput guys.receiver is a Sony FM Stereo FM-AM Receiver Model STR-DE935.First chance will checkout the Auto or AC 3
inputs if changeable in the receiver's manual, also reducing the input volume while recording to see if's thats the key.
Terryl the audio feed to the receiver is a Optical cable,
You may have a second optical input on that receiver, try that one and see if it's also distorted, if so then you may need a new Sony.
I would get one (if you do) with HDMI switching inputs.
Will try a second input,its a old receiver but Sony's are'nt cheap (smile) again much thanks.
Quick fix for audio distortion this worked for me for recording hd channels. Go to A/V settings and change the HD OSD Type to normal. Then save. Also for hd channels choppy picture. Go to A/V Settings and change HDMI Video back and forth 1080i tp 720p until it is clear. Hope this helps. Works for me
