It says "7.1 Channel Sound", but it doesn't seem to default to 7.1. The only option available is stereo. Any suggestions? (Win7)

The soundcard is built in. You just install the software to utilize the 7.1 sound.

How are you hooking up the rest of the channels? Via 5.1 in the motherboard? TOSLINK (digital/optical)? Explain your setup in detail and I can probably help you out.

Mine is hooked up to a desktop with a discrete sound card. I "suspect" if you go into control panel>sound, just make sure you choose the right output in "playback" tab of sound in control panel. It wanted to have AMD high definition sound but I changed it to my card. You can do this and if you are not sure which is the correct one, make sure you have music playing as you try each possibility, the one that lets sound come out your speaker is the correct one. This is a windows sound configuration issue, not a monitor issue, just saying. Hope that helps, if not, if you get the results and have amazon contact me I will try to help more.

Go to your launch pad and "system Preferences" Click the Sound Icon. Select the cable instead of internal speakers. I had to do it the first time I used it, but after that it recognized it on its own when I hooked it in.

I'm not an expert or anything like that, but on Windows 7 if you go to the Control Panel and click on Hardware and Sound (the green fonts), then under Sound (green fonts) there is an item called Manage audio devices (blue fonts). Click on that and it gives you a Sound form. Under the Playback tab select E322AR and click on Set Default. Click Apply or OK. Then you should get computer sound through the TV speakers. At least it works with my setup. Only problem is, when you want sound to come through the computer speakers and headphones, you have to go back to the Sound form and set Speakers and Headphones as default.

Go to the Sound properties in Control Panel and make sure it is pointed to use this devices audio driver. This was an automatic process when I installed mine, but obviously there is some other variable in your system. Also go to Device Manager and remove the device and re-install, could be an issue with the audio segment of the driver. Shouldn't be this hard to get audio, so if none of this works it may be defective as others have stated. Hope this helps.

The zone 2 I am not setup yet, and 7.1 channel I don't know why I have out put only 5.1 or 5.2. I check the seting but still don't know how to get the out put for 7.1. I have 7 speaker and 2 subwoofer still try to setting up. I will let you know when I got it.Best RegardMinh

I have the same question. I've configured it for speaker b, but there is no sound.

Yes...Very frustrating..I can get sound with Stereo, but not 5.1...Really makes the HD feeds useless...

Hey,Well it still sounds like 2.0. Maybe it is the Onkyo settings; specifically in the setup speaker config. maybe it still thinks its 7.1. Sound would be destined for speakers that are not there.Dennis

Do a Google 'image' search of dolby 5.1. This will help you. Should be on the side. Can do the same search for 7.1, 9.1.

The one I purchased worked fine and I had sound. you just had to get up and push the button to change the channel if you will between the different devices. Sounds like you could have a faulty adapter.

I'm wondering if anyone who owns the system can tell me how the sound is for regular 2 channel audio. I want this to be an awesome home stereo system as well, and use my apple tv to enjoy itunes through it!
