TV sound not working
I have looked at the owner's value with no luck.
I can't get the internal speakers of my TV working again. The sound works fine coming out of the home theater speakers. Thanks, Andy |

Thanks, Andy You can send sound over an HDMI cable, so the speakers in a TV or monitor can work. To make that happen, you check the Sound control panel, which can have multiple output options. You tell the system to drive the sound over the HDMI cable, instead of over the analog wires to your amplified computer speakers. In this example, the current selection is pumping sound over the HDMI cable. Note the "Playback" tab near the top. http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf-JAVA.../c02037388.gif Paul |

I think I have some cables not attached right. In the old days there was just a cable input and some video and audio outputs. :-) Andy |

Presumably the Home Theatre, either has a mixer to select one of three channels, or mixes all three and you have controls for the levels from each column of audio input ? ******* OK, now the summary. I see two analog video signals entering the TV set. The TV cannot "extract" audio from those channels. One analog video signal is SVideo (luma,chroma,4pinDIN). The other is YPbPr (as devices hardly ever use RGB). If the TV is tuned to a broadcast channel somehow, at that time, an audio signal could appear on the "Audio Output" White&Red wires. If the TV is not using its own tuner, then I don't see a reason for any audio on the White&Red. The Cable Box doesn't seem to violate any rules. SVideo (black mini-DIN cable) goes to TV set (no audio on that cable). Red&Black audio pair head off to home theatre audio input. What I can't figure out, is what the Home Theatre is putting on the YPbPr three wires. Is that an output or an input ? It is possible, by plugging in the White&Red wires to the Audio Output of the TV set, that caused the TV set to mute its output. But it is just as likely, you're not using the TV set tuner, and so the TV has no reason to drive the audio output wires. The I/O on these things, should work in sets. Usually, they encircle a set of connectors, to show they're related. On your TV inputs, you'd have Composite (Yellow) + Audio (White/Red). Or, you could have SVideo (din4pin) + Audio (White/Red). Or, you could have YPbPr (3coax) + Audio (White/Red). HDMI is integrated video and audio, so needs no audio to go with it, but as an option, the TV should also support "listening" to an analog audio input while at the same time getting video over the HDMI. Sometimes, HDMI output devices, are too old and dumb to include audio, and then need the services of analog stereo audio (or better). The TV can play the sound it receives, over its own speakers, or drive the "audio output" pair with what it receives via its own tuner, or what it is getting over HDMI on the audio channel. It would be easier to verify these things, using the model numbers of each unit. Paul |

I had to disconnect the audio out cables from the TV and rescan the AV inputs. I removed those cables completely. :-) Andy |
