Has anyone been successful in actually getting audio out to external speakers with a HD receiver or otherwise? (The internal speakers dont' satisfy.)

Yes buy a receiver with multiple HDMI inputs. That way you can connect all your accessories (cable box, blu-ray player, game consoles, etc) directly to the receiver, which will be connected to the surround speakers.

I connected my surround to the audio out on my cable box. Worked like a dream.

I get the sound to my stereo receiver from my cable box through a fiber optic cable with great results

..yes, very frustrating. I'm having the same problem and unfortunately we may have to hook up a separate feed from the laptop headphone jack to the audio system. I had understood that you could get sound through the HDMI so this is a pain in the butt.

Sadly? I guess I'm in the minority here, but I NEVER want my displays to have built-in speakers... That's always a compromise situation because such speakers never sound good. I prefer separate, dedicated components that each do their jobs well.

There is an output jack hole that says "speaker out". I've tried to connect another speaker through there as well as another preamp and my attempts were unsuccesful. Maybe I was doing it wrong, but it could also be a cheap amplifier. The bluetooth rocks, though.

Honestly, buy a new receiver. You need this, and then you can continue using the speakers you have. Trying to do this any other way is not a good idea, and will end up costing you the same amount of money and continued frustrations on lack of HDMI inputs and outputs.

I had the same issue, and the problem was the HD board failed. After doing some research , I called Onkyo and they paid for the out of warranty fix because it's a known issue.Don't know whether or not your problem & solution is the same, but hope this helps.

Are you sure that you've installed the unit correctly? Inputs connected to inputs, and outputs connected to outputs? Additionally, have you verified that the impedance switches are set correctly? Lastly, have you removed the volume control, bridges the speaker wires, to eliminate a fault in the cables or speakers? If you've tried all this, and still experience trouble, I'd say it's possible that you may have a faulty unit..

Dear Zachary, I just tested this on the projector I have for sale. I hooked plugged in the HDMI cable and I hooked up the audio to Bose speakers through the audio out port. The video was on screen and the sound came out of my speakers. It works great! I still have my speaker available and I hope you consider me as a seller when buying on Amazon! Thanks! - Jake Zerner

Not that I know of because I was looking for sound outputs for external speakers and there was nothing available

no there is no audio output. I tried because the built in speakers sound tinny

Yes, I use the audio out with HDMI for headphones. You should be able to connect the audio out to an audio input on an amplifier for external speaker reception.

I hear the sound through my external speakers, which I configured it this way. You can use the built-in speakers or both. I hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know Thanks. KRM

Hello, I have not added external speakers as of yet. I was looking to attach it to my BOSE System for a better sound. There are a lot of good products out there at many prices. Look for something you like that is compatible for the unit.

You don't have to use the built-in speakers if you don't want to. The sound doesn't come through the HDMI cable, it comes from a second audio cable... just like you would use to any external speakers.

Does the monitor you are using have any speakers?If so, are you using a HDMI cable (directly, without a DVI or VGA converter)?If not, did you connect separate speakers to the audio out port (green) in the back?I feel certain the answer to all questions is NO. You need at least one YES answer to hear anything.

Hello Bat, Could you please clarify what you mean by external sound? I would be glad to answer you question as soon as you do that favor.

Check the tv menu for audio options. Maybe there is an option to send the sound to external speakers that may need to select or enable. Make sure you are connecting the wires to the audio out jack and not accidentally into some other jacks.
