How do I get digital audio out? Can someone tell me where I can find it if there is one available.

Optical out is one of two digital audio types of output -- the other is coaxial. So optical out actually is digital out.

Okay...we went to a big box store, looked at the LG television and talked with a saleswoman who did seem to know her electronics. Unfortunately, there is no built-in headphone jack for audio out and there are no analog audio outputs. There is only a digital optical output. She did not think that there would be a possibility to find a headphone set that would use this set up except for some that are $100's of dollars. So, no go there for us. However, as an alternative, my spouse suggests these: You could send the optical signal to a compatible hi-fi. If the hi-fi doesn't have optical input, but has co-axial digital input, you can use a $20 converter. Your other option is to get a digital-to-analog converter which is at least $50. Then either use headphones that have an amplifier or output to amplified computer speakers which have a headphone port. Perhaps you could do more research than he has done. Best of luck with your choice. Thanks, Vee, for your enthusiasm with this television.

There may be other ways, but if all else fails, install the Audacity software (or other recording software), run Audacity, hit the "pause" button in Audacity, then hit "record". The sound will play through your speakers without recording. Make sure you have gone to "File &gt; Preferences" in Audacity and selected ""Sofware Playthrough" under the "Audio I/O" tab first. Basically, you just need a way for your sound card to hear the recording input - this way is clunky but it works.

I'm sure if you look on amazon you can find one or just ask audio professionals they should be more than willing to help.

My TV did not have variable digital audio out. I think most TVs now are the same. So you have to use just the volume on the sound bar, The output you hooked to the sound bar needs to be variable audio.

I purchased this recently and can answer the audio output question - it is digital toslink only - there are a ton of digital to rca converters for $15 or so if this is a problem.

Robert you can hook up optical audio input or an rca cable. i prefer the optical, the sound quality is definitely better :) . hope this helps

Not being one to use that feature, I had to check for myself. And to confirm what has been answered previous, there's 2 audio out ports, 1 for analog audio, and the other for digital audio [optical].

Hi Paul Beauparlant,Here are the options that you need to check for you to have sound. Digital Audio Output, Dolby D Compatible Output, Audio DRC and Downmix. Thanks. >Joffrey

There is NO analog audio out on this monitor. It does, however, have a DIGITAL audio out (coaxial). There MAY be a way to take this and convert it to stereo line out. You can find such a unit at http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Optical-Coaxial-Toslink-Converter/dp/B007S6U7I4 . Just use a digital audio coaxial cable to go from the digital out from this monitor, and hook it up to the input of this box, attach a DC power supply, and hook the outputs to a line input on an amplifier. Today's PC speakers take line level signals. With some adapters, you can connect the output of this box to the input of PC speakers. This would probably get around HDMI related woes. With HDMI, video and audio are routed TOGETHER. This can be a mess if you want to route your sound to good speakers or even a good stereo system. By the way, the Emerson monitor that I have is another one that I bought previously. When I ordered another one, there was only one left, and it got damaged. I was given another brand and model for the same price. From John Nozum

No you cannot because the bluray only has video outputs not inputs. You have an audio input option using digital but that's about it. What exactly are you trying to accomplish ??

i am using analog speakers and an analog mic. I don't use the digital input

You could get a SCART audio extractor that lets you input audio, or you could modify the cable to support audio. What console are you using?

Have you tested the digital (S/PDIF) IN and OUT on linux as well? On Ubuntu 11.04, the analog connections seem to work great, but I'm not seeing an option for digital in Sound Preferences. Wondering if upgrading to a distro in the 3.x kernel series would help.

You know... It's long gone. But I don't remember it having audio at all. I purchased the Logitech instead, and its even worse.

I assume your older system is like mine and only has old school analog red and white audio in cable ports? If so it works just as described. It takes that optical digital signal and converts to analog output. I use it and sound quality is pretty darn good.

I think DAC of this Item is not so good, your idea is good. There is a digital output.
