Sound Problems: Should I try external?
80114
I have this USB card and I like it. I use the optical digital output to my home theater (DVD) system and that works well. Do your 5.1 speakers have separate inputs for r, l, sub, and rear? With this system, it has 2 options for 5.1: either digital optical, or 4 separate wires running to inputs in your 5.1 system. In my case, I did not have 4 separate analog inputs for these speakers, so digital optical was my only option. If you do not have digital optical or 4 analog inputs on your 5.1 system, then I would not get this product.

Yes. The speakers aren't as bad as you might think. I still have mine hooked to external speakers, though.

All sound issues I was having with this laptop were fixed when I installed the latest windows sound drivers. I got them directly from microsofta website. After that I had no issues at all.

I believe stinkbug's answer is correct. you must select the external speakers in the sound preferences in your settings.

I had the exact same problem with this tv. I eventually just muted the TV speakers and ran the sound exclusively through some external speakers that I have. That solved my problem.

Be sure the "Sound Enhancer" feature is turned off in iTunes. This is will cause the problem you describe.

I have never had any problem with sound at any website. I would look for a separate sound icon on the website screen. Sometimes a device can have the sound on but the website has it off or too low. I'm not a techie, but I speak from experience.

I had a similar situation. No matter what I tried, I never received any quality sound, just the squeals and shrieks also agree with other comment- waste of money and a disappointed prnoduct- and usually, memorex is considered a plus but not in this case- Sorry

I ll suggest you go to soundbot website and drop a message to their tech support team. They are very responsive....

I contacted Sony, there were no reports of problems with sound!???? So I pointed out that there were many people having issues, but the only recourse is to send it in under warranty to see if they can fix it - even though it's a design issue, in my opinion.

Sorry for delay: holidays. No, there is no provision for external speakers.

The answer I just sent assumed you had external speakers. If they are internal and against the backing the sound will be baffled unless you add external speakers.

You have to go in and change the sound setting to external device. i had the same issue at first.

Yes by selecting menu, then sound. You can opt for internal or external speakers

I use external speakers also. On Windows 8.1 lower task bar -right click speakers/headphones, select playback devices, then select speakers/headphones option.

Mine works okay though the sound quality isn't very good. I had trouble with a flash drive that developed the problem of not being recognized by any of my computers. Found no remedy for it and the company would not replace it. Disgusting turn of affairs. Hope you have better luck. F. Burton

I have the same issue too. I tried to update the sound drivers to see if that would help. It didn't.
