I heard the Digital Audio Out does not output audio when you plug the source to the TV via HDMI. Is that correct?

That's correct! That's why I returned my TV, and purchased the 650 model. I hope this helps.

that was my experience; somewhere in the literature in fact says that if you use HDMI or Digital Optical cable, that you have to use the audio cable out as well (defeats the purpose of the HDMI or Digital Optical cable IMO), however it works well with that set-up

Two things: 1. Make sure that the TV option for sound is set to the internal speakers, otherwise it will direct the sound signal to the mini-plug sound output jack on the back of the set (this is used to send the signal to another amplifier to drive external speakers). 2. Make sure that any routing of the HDMI signal to and from other devices is arranged properly (i.e. devices-&gt;inputs of receiver and Input to TV is from the TV-out hdmi port)

Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up. The HDMI cable went to my HDMI TV and the optical cable I had went to the receiver for my room soundaround speaker system. The TV speakers work also if you don't want to play the receiver, a earlier mention in another post said, he could not get his TV to play sound out the speakers.... NOT true the sound still travels thru the HDMI cable to the HD TV even with the Optical cable plugged in and ran to the receiver. The sound does not designate one or the other and comes out both. I just keep the volume on my HD TV to 0.

Hi Deborah,I have been successful with my hookup and audio. At this point I would make sure your laptop supports a direct HDMI connection and that you have changed your audio output in the control panel under whatever O.S. you have.Hope this helps.Also, in some situations, the audio is going to default to the laptop if the connection is a HDMI Input. You want a HDMI Output on the laptop.

I haven't tried it, but I imagine it would work the same as any other audio from your TV. I don't think the source matters.

All I can tell you is that it works good with Apple TV. I took the digital optical audio out of my Apple TV unit and this unit converted it to analog (stereo). I am not using the HDMI out of the Apple TV unit for audio; I am using a HDMI to DVI cable for the video. Apple TV does send a HDMI and a digital audio out at the same time. Neither one overrides each other. I believe this answers your question. I hope this helps.

I own this TV, and as others said, it doesn't carry variable audio. But for the life of me, I can't figure out why anyone would need that feature these days. I have this Sony TV connected to my Sony AVR, and the AVR does all the work audio wise. This TV does have digital output, which I connect to my AVR as well. So between the HDMI and the digital connections, the sound is phenomenal.

Nooo, these device does not output audio to TV, It's the TV that sends out the audio either through its built-in speakers or through external speakers connected through mixer or home theater devices. If you can't increase volume on the tv, it has nothing to do with this device. Audio is great on anything hdmi this device is connected to. I just bought a second one for my freind and she loves it more than I do because she has better amp hook up than I do. It feels like we are at the movies when we watch movies at her place. That's not this device doing all that audio amplification, but her sophisticated audio set up that makes it feel like a movie theater. Check your Audio hookups!

I connect the HDMI output on my computer to the J-Tech and send one output to my receiver and the other to my TV. Works for me. Switch back and forth generally w/o any problems. Very rarely I have to reset the switch by just unplugging and replugging the HDMI cord from my computer. The HDMI output on my computer does not transmit sound, so I can't comment on this aspect. I use the computers' coax and optical outputs for audio.

I remember having that issue when I first hooked mine up as well. I think the source for your audio on the TV is messed up. Make sure you have audio coming out of the TV and not through a receiver or make sure the receiver will play the audio. I have to turn off my TV speakers in order for the audio to play tthrough an external source.

This system (as far as I could read) has only Audio inputs. HDMI is an audio and video cable. If you are trying to connect this to an HDTV that has an HDMI input, then chances are that it has Digital Audio output too. Simply hook this digital output to the sound system. there will be some finer tweaks you need to workout with the tv such as whether the tv volume controlls the output volume and if the TVs speakers should then be turned off. For more personallized help, most High school to college aged boys/men, and an increasing number of women, have the knowlege required to get it working at a livable level. usually a trip to a Best Buy with a list of the items you have including brand and model number can prove very helpfull too.

The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals. In the simplest setup where all sources and monitors (I.e. TVs, receivers, etc) are HDMI capable, you won't need to worry about audio. However, if your receiver is HDMI-less, then you have the choices of sending analog or digital audio signal to it. While I've not tried digital signal but the analog works for me just like you stated in your question. I've read in the product reviews that the unit can only output one type of signal at a time. Meaning you can't have both analog and digital outputs at the same time. Search the reviews may help.

IT works ok from my HD Box but not from the audio outputs at the backside of my tv. The Shart works but the sound Quality insnt so good. Whyred is that?

My relatively new TV didn't and doesn't have "audio out" outlets either. I simply used the "digital audio out" outlet on the TV and connected it with a single cable (which probably came with the TV EARS Speaker - I can't remember) to the optical audio outlet on the TV EARS transmitter. I'm guessing that your new TV has a digital or optical outlet instead of the older audio out outlets as well .... but obviously this is just a guess on my part. Good luck!

press your tv menu and see if your digital audio input or hdmi audio input is enable, If it isn't enable you would have this problem.
