I bought this thing and just as I was afraid of I am having no luck getting audio to pass through the HDMI to the TV. Any tricks I should know?

Without knowing a lot more about what you are connecting, I can only offer things to check. It worked out-of-the box for me. Check these: Is the 3.5mm plug into the computer headphone jack, is that volume all the way up and selected as the playback device? (Plug a set of headphones in to make sure). Not knowing the TV for playback, it seems you can see the image, yeah? Check that the TV is set for internal speakers, audio set from HDMI and the volume is up. These are things you might have already tried, including a different computer/TV setup. Lastly? Try a different adaptor although I'm leaning towards an incorrect setting on the computer or TV.

I'm afraid I am also stumped getting a signal to the TV. Currently I'm settling for VGA and audio to the high definition TV. The definition on more recent videos is quite good with this hookup. From the information from my graphics card coupled with the TV manual, the hookup is not simple. Sorry.

Thanks for the response A.L. I originally had everything hooked up with HDMI -- both my HD-DVR cable box and my upconvert DVD player. My first thought was maybe it was the cables themselves, as I bought less expensive ones off Amazon. Tonight I went out and bought top of the line HDMI cables from Best Buy. Same problem! Then I figured I'd take the HDMI cables out of the equation and test my iPod using the auxiliary RCA jack on the front of the receiver. Same problem!I'm positive the speakers are connected correctly and completely. And these are also brand new -- the Onkyo SKS-HT540 7.1ch home theater set!I think I have a bum receiver. I listen to my morning TV at level 60. That just doesn't seem right. Thanks for the response A.L.

Your HDMI cable may be older and not support audio. Try switching cables. Try switching output from the splitter.

I have mine connected with the supplied cables to a small HD TV in the kitchen. I think the audio is connected using the smaller RCA type cable in the audio jack. I'm not in front of it now but the directions will show you. You can't mess anything up. It's simple.

Dear Mediabridge,You are right. I am having trouble getting audio through TV when I connect HDMI to my HP PC with Window7 and 37LG10 TV. I changes audio playback device setting to TV/HDMI default. On testing HDMI audio, it says this device is already in use. Could you please help me to get Audio. Thank you.Regards,BK

Sandra,How is it connected?Have you gone into your TV's menu to switch the audio to "external speakers"?Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

I do not have that problem on my system. You do have to change the setting on the receiver with the remote to match the HDMI input you selected. If your doing that and your not getting sound and your speaker setting is correct then you might have a problem with the HDMI ports.

You connect it by using and hdmi cable (best option) or a optical audio cable from your TV. If you use and HDMI cable make sure your TV has an output labeled ARS, that means that it can accept audio both ways

Check you system preferences or TV setting. It's probaly one of those. Also you won't get sound through the TV unless you change your sound preference

..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.

Check your TV settings and look for your audio settings. Make sure the output is set to PCM as this box can't convert other signals and is usually the cause of this problem.

Rick, try going to your Sound controls from your "Control Panel" buttons. I recently connected to a TV through my HDMI and I find that I have to manually switch the sound there from "Speakers" (which is my computer sound) to "NVidia Hi-Def Audio" in order to get sound to the TV if I'm trying to watch something on Hulu over there. One annoying glitch though: The switch only allows for you to change your "Default" settings (be sure to hit default if "apply" by itself doesn't work... that's what I have to do.) so you then have to go through the procedure each time you change. Annoying, but workable if you don't have to do it a whole lot. - MJM

Make sure TV sound is disabled. All sound will come through SoundPlate. It has much better sound than the TV.

you sure you don't have the cable in the audio pc/hmdi input (this connection is in "input 5" box, just above and to the right of the digital audio output; i believe this is the same connection type...) judging by the lack of picture instead of audio, that is my best guess anyway. someone correct me if i'm wrong (my tv is hanging and i cannot really see the connections), but i do not believe this device has a standard audio output (besides the headphone out)...

I had to plug in my sound bar to the HEADPHONE jack of the TV. Try that and see if it doesn"t work for you too.
