Connect to headphone output on your PC and another end to converter headphone input. There is a wire for that included.

Does your receiver have an "optical" output? If it does, try hooking that to the Soundbar. Have an HDMI and an Optical hooked up and they both work fine . . . . .

I had that problem and it was because my tv volume was too low when I set it up. If you turn up your tv volume before you disable the tv speakers it should work. If the soundbar is ringing during silences your tv volume is too loud.

Sounds like maybe your input is on the wrong setting? My tv connects through an optical cable, so unless I chose the optical input, I won't hear it. Check your inputs and if that doesn't help re-check your connections.

Great Granny,I would try to exchange or return the tv while you still can. Only a minority of Vizio's have picture problems and you are certain your tv has a sound issue. If you were to use external speakers you might still have a sound problem anyway. Good luck.

The sound sound on the tv itself is definitely lacking in the audio department. I see why you ordered one, with that being said I have no idea if it will work or not, hell I didn't even know they had one.

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.

Do you have component put to your TV? If you have something connected to the receiver using component cables you have to have component cables ran to the TV from the receiver also otherwise you won't have picture just sound

Hi Paul Beauparlant,Here are the options that you need to check for you to have sound. Digital Audio Output, Dolby D Compatible Output, Audio DRC and Downmix. Thanks. >Joffrey

Like Peter said, not all TV's bridge the sound from an hdmi in to a stereo out(digital/coax etc..) Try using a different output port, or going hdmi to the stereo, and then hdmi to the tv

No Sound.....Hence the no HDMI. I've hooked up through DVI and it's an AWESOME picture

Make sure you follow the instructtions to the dot. If you are unable to receive the TV audio the you are out of luck. I had similiar issues with three different types. Even with TV ears. Test them by plugging them into something else.

yes....but you might need an extension for the sound as I didBut I never got the tv to work sound...think there is a problem with the input on the tv

Do you use a cable box? If yes, that should have audio output jacks. You could either connect the Soundbox to the cable box directly or get some "Y" cables to split the input for you TV and Soundbox (you may need some adaptors).

Hmm, well the tv is only really a monitor and wouldn't have anything to do with sound in this case right? Wouldn't you need to get the dolby sound from the broadcast source like your cable or directv box? e.g. connect your audio optical cord to the cablebox directly & plug directly into your HT setup.

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->inputs of receiver and Input to TV is from the TV-out hdmi port)
