if connected to the TV via hdmi, does the TV play sound from an app or video or do I need to install a sound card?

There is no built in speaker so there are two choices one use HDMI and use TV for sound and the other choice is to use Bluetooth speaker. I have not tried it yet but I just got a Polaroid Bluetooth speaker with rechargeable battery for $17 after discounts from Khols I can let u know of my experience if you need it. I use Logitech 400 usb keyboard with trackpad works great. You will need a wireless usb keyboard.Sound over HDMI needs no drivers etc. Hope that helps.

It plays sound through the speakers of the TV. On Netflix, make sure in the upper right on the play/control screen the speaker icon is turned ALL the way up, then use your TV volume control to set the volume you want to listen at. Otherwise you may have to turn the TV volume way up to hear it. I have a pair of bluetooth headphones and when they are on and synched, no sound comes out the TV speakers, just out of the headphones.

Hdmi carries both. Audio and video signals. You do not need any sound card. The tv will both show the video as well as play the audio.

Both video and sound are supplied through the HDMI cable, this would be the same as if you connected a XBOX360, DVD player etc, to a TV via the HDMI cable. I watch Netflix, Crackle and stream Pandora from this sweet unit, all sound comes through the TV speakers, I'm thinking about hooking up to a sound bar, through my TV via the optical out from the TV for additional sound, Hope this helps :) I should also note that that is a misprint ( Jenny Bean ) it is in fact Jelly Bean 4.1.1

HDMI carries sound, audio cable not being switched. You need your audio to come from HDMI input.

There is only a digital optic port, no HDMI port. You would have to see if your TV are receiver, has a digital optic port and direct connect it to the sound bar

You need the hdmi and a fiber optic cable. The hdmi only provides the best video resolution; you need the fiber optic cable for the best sound.

The driver package includes the HDMI Audio drivers. You need to set that up in the Control Panel > Sound; as the default device.

Quick answer: you have to have the HDMI Cable(recent version) that supports sound and follow the instruction in the manual. I just used the optic cable and hooked it directly to TV optic. That was the most simple and it plays sound with everything else I have hooked up to TV without having to select each input port. Hopefully you have the optic port on your TV :-)P.S. Even though this sound bar description does not say it comes with the optic cable, mine had one taped to the styrofoam inside the box, so look carefully.

If you connect it via HDMI port to TV, it should have sound. If not, check settings to see if hdmi is turned on (under HDMI). Check you volume on TV.

your computer may not have this capability to send the sound through your HDMI cable. you can get a seperate sound cable for your jack in the back of the tv or get speakers for your computer. I use speakers on my computer.

You will have to connect a cable from the audio header to the video card in order for sound to pass thru HDMI.

if the tv has a usb connection its more than likely for a computer connection I have not personaly tried a computer to tv via usb but a computer to tv via hdmi cable will send sound to the tv worth trying if your dying to use this speaker setup but i can tell you with all the adio equipment avialable to check in to somthing more sophisticated suck as a sound bar wich is more user friendly and or maybe invest in a sound converter

HDMI does carry sound, but it depends on your software.On Linux, you'd have to check if the drivers you use for the card work with ALSA (if not, no sound). You may have to change or duplicate the sound output to hear over HDMI. Most video cards expose audio through a PCI interface, so you may see something an audio device listed in lspci.On Windows, you may need to go into your sound settings and change the default sound output to use HDMI Audio (if you even have that option). The sound options should show the available outputs and inputs.

Only sound will play over the Bluetooth. Video must play over HDMI interface.

Does this play sound thru the HDMI cable? My 360s did not and required the green cable to be connected for sound which on my TV was coupled with the VGA input which meant I had no sound....

It does play audio because HDMI connection to the TV has integrated audio. It did not need an extra audio cable.

The card does support sound via the hdmi cable. I had to open my playback devices and set the default to 50 PCT3D-OE-3 NVIDIA HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO DEFAULT DEVICE

It has an optical output. Generally speaking one would use HDMI to get audio into the tv, and then optical audio it out to something with a better sound quality.
