If you hook computer speakers through the headset jack, will the volume be controlled by the TV or the speakers?

Yes, and the equalizer and Left-Right balance settings on the TV also are passed on to the external speakers. This can be a bit of problem, though, if you sometimes use the internal speakers, and sometimes external speakers, since they don't have separate settings. I find I have to turn the bass way up and treble way down to make the internal speakers tolerable, but then need to change back to more normal settings when using my decent external 2.1 speakers.

The built-in TV speakers are automatically disabled when you plug in external speakers through the headphone output on the TV. From there, set the volume on your computer speakers just once and then use your TV remote to control the volume on your TV.

small headphone/earplug connector found on all portable audio players. The audio out volume is controlled by TV.I haven't tried unpowered speakers or headphones, however, I use a cheap amplified soundbar which has a similar input connector and never had to crank the volume higher that 5 (out of 30).

This switch doesn't switch between computer speakers and Microphone; it switches between Speakers and headset. There is a plug in for a microphone. The "Headset", "Speaker", and "Microphone" jacks use the normal computer speaker plug, so if your TV speakers user that plug, you can plug them in.

These speakers have their own independent volume control. TV speakers can be turned down, or completely silent if so desired without affecting the volume of the earphones.

Yes for example, I connect the cable to my laptop and the image and audio from my laptop both connect to the TV. Then from there you can turn up the volume from your laptop or TV control.

No, remote can control the speakers on TV itself. My wireless headphones' volumes stay unchanged. I can set it to a different volumes.

I assume that when you plug in some headphones into that analog/headphone jack, the TV's speakers go mute automatically; so when you plug in a pair of special RCA cables that have RCA on one end of which you plug into your AMP and that mini pin on the other end of which you would plug into the TV's headphone jack, the same thing will happen, i.e. muted TV speakers. But instead of having headphones, you will have amplified speakers. Then you could set your AMP's volume level to something rather high, and control the volume of the TV through the TV itself using its remote.

It would be controlled through the master output knob. In addition, you can always adjust the volume on your device as well.-Pro Audio Land

Yes. You are able to use the headphones and still control the TV volume so that someone else in the same room can hear the TV, too.

Yes. Set the speaker volume then use your computer output volume. They even power down when you shut the computer off.

Depending on your system.... Follow the instructions of simply plugging in the power chord, place the headset in the holder. Turn on the bottom unit. Turn off the headset. For stereo. Output of cable box or tv should have a yellow white and red plugs. Use the wire provided, plug in the color plugs. Once recharged, it should work with tv volume off. Head set has its own volume control.

I'm annoyed by the answers the other users left. It all depends on the brand and options of your TV. I had a Samsung that would not allow you to control the volume of external speakers through the TV's volume control. Now I have a Sony that allows me to do this seamlessly. The Sony has an option in the sound settings that allows you to do this. It's possible on a higher end Samsung that this option is present but on mine there was not.

Yes. The colume control affects the master volume control for the computer. Works every time.

It will allow you to connect them but only the Video Signal will be sent to the TV. The audio will have to be sent out from the computer separately (the headset output) to the TV or other audio system to play the sound.

It allows both the TV and the headset to have sound. If you find that the TV sound goes off when you plug the headset in, don't be fooled as I did...that's an adjustment on the TV that has to be set. The TV speakers need to be set to "on" through your TV settings if you have this problem. Then you can adjust the headset volume and TV volume independently. Hope that helps.

Probably yes, but it depends upon how your source (TV or receiver) that is feeding your speaker handles the output. I have two TV Ears (the headphone type) and both my TVs are able to handle output to the TV Ears (with a constant volume that can be adjusted by the TV Ears) as well as sound from the source that can be muted or turned all the way down. All relatively modern TVs should be able to do this, but it is entirely a function of the sound source and not the TV Ears devices.
