I have the 47" Vizio E472VLE TV and the background music is SO much louder than the dialog. Is there any way to change that? I got the answer from RJBrueck: "Sounds like you have the audio for the TV set to Surround. Go to TV preferences, audio and...

I have not had any issues with my Vizio; are you using a sound system(sound bar or an add on surround sound system?) I use a Polk sound bar with wireless sub and the sound balance has been fine since day one..

Almost forgot, I don't have my TV here, but is there any automatic sound adjust in the setup menu you can turn off?

I must have missed this. Vizio sound bars are very common (Costco). The fact that Sony doesn't support it is a major oversight. I'll have to send mine back. Tried the learn code on the remote and it doesn't find a match. Vizio is listed on the TV, just not audio. Too bad.

Hello, Did you ever figure this out? I just bought this TV last night and I'm very happy with it, but I use a surround sound system and have to keep the TV volume on 0. There should be a way to turn the speakers off - right? Thanks for any info.

Hello: I am not sure that I can help you but here goes: My friend is severely hearing impaired and without this device the TV must be (on a scale of 10 with 10 being the highest) at 9.5, which means everyone else is blown out of the room. She tells me that the dialogue is clear as a bell so I am guessing that the soundtrack does not interfere with the dialogue. Hope this is helpful to you. Good luck!

Yup I HAD that problem as well when I was using RCA inputs but when I changed to Digital Optical, I found that the volume was way too loud and had to turn it down a lot just to fit viewing need.Well, the way I have my setup with the same HTIB(Home Theater in Box) is: PS3>Reciever via Digital Optical for Audio PS3>TV via Component(Plan to upgrade to HDMI once the cable comes) TV>Reciever via RCA(Red and White plugs)For yours specifically Castellanos, I think we need a bit more info on the TV and the Toshiba, like what kind of Inputs and Outputs are on the back of both products or if not that way, give a link to see information on those items.Hopefully we can get this straighten out as with others in the same boat.

Personally, I didn't really like the sound since my last TV had speakers on the front. These speakers sounded bad to me, so I got a sound bar. Go with the Vizio S3821w-C0 38 2.1 Home Theater Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer. It sounds great!

The first question is about the loud boomy explosions and quiet barely heard dialog. Some newer receivers adjust this so the voice dialog is brought up and the loud explosions and music is toned down. I believe the question is: Does this do this and if so how is the end result? Can you hear the dialog and not jump at sudden exceptionally loud background sounds?

a separate post suggested turning tru-motion off... I just ordered my tv - hopefully it looks good. no suggestions on sound though

It's pretty loud but of course like any tv, they have generic paper cone speakers so you're not going to get the best sound. I don't go past 20 one the volume and that's about the quarter way of the volume bar so I'm sure it's pretty loud.

My opinion after recently purchasing this television is that some sort of sound enhancer (i.e., external speakers, receiver) is probably necessary. I find myself turning the volume nearing to maximum in order to hear shows and movies. I've owned other Sony televisions and had a similar experience. Great television overall but sound quality is not quite there. Hope you find this helpful.

there is a volume control on one of the side speakers that is by your head. it will control the sound on the speakers only, not on the tv. So, if you have the tv on for normal hearing, but have someone sitting with the speakers, it will control it so it's louder through the speakers but the tv volume will stay the same.

I went into tools and set it on amplify.That made the volume a little better. It seems the volume on all the HD tv's could use some improvement. So just play with the sound settings until you find one that is suitable. Otherwise you will probably need to invest in a soundbar. Hope this helps.

volume will not be louder but sound quality? Hell yes. Use the Vizio speakers and the HT12B together if you can. Some hookup methods will allow tv remote to mute both speaker sets, others will mute only tv speakers as mine does. I use minor volume on the HTB with maximum bass. This way I get better directional sound and a much fuller bass, but when muting a tv ad the volume is minimal. Cheers

Not the way I have it set up.... I just turn the volume from my tv all the way down, otherwise you can hear both...

No! I usually have my TV down to 0 then have speakers beside me so I can keep the volume down then turn the speakers according. Some movies come in louder than others!
