The speakers are inevitably tiny. You could either get a surround sound that is optic fibre capable, or adjust your sound to "good enough". Let me give you a run down of how audio works on the tv. Treble is your high notes, bass is your low notes, and mids is more highs for this certain tv. There is an option for bass boost, you will want that. One of the things I'm glad i did(i live alone) is buy a wireless headset. Razer, or turtle beach makes a very...very nice set. They are 100$+ because its a 7.1 surround wrapped around your head. So if you watch tv alone, its worth getting. Other than that, with the adjustments i explained to you, have at it. If you need anymore assistance let me know! :)

I have trouble hearing. I found no sound system as effective as my hearing aid which I use to watch television.

Using your sound effect button on remote, scroll through the choices of sound output. Yours may be set on "bass". There are several to choose from depending on what you are watching & what type of sound you want.

My opinion after recently purchasing this television is that some sort of sound enhancer (i.e., external speakers, receiver) is probably necessary. I find myself turning the volume nearing to maximum in order to hear shows and movies. I've owned other Sony televisions and had a similar experience. Great television overall but sound quality is not quite there. Hope you find this helpful.

Hi Donna. Are you looking for improved volume or clarity? You can probably tinker with the sound options on the menu screen. Otherwise, you may want to get what Phil and Rodney suggested - a dedicated sound system.

Yeah that seems to be the deal with the new ultra thin 40" Samsung LEDs. My friend bought one from Best Buy and the sound was so tinny that a sound strip with woofer had to be used or the TV was like a radio compared to a Sony Bravia 40". The only problem with this is you need to turn up the volumn to a mid-high level to notice any difference in the sound. Don't need to have my TV that loud and the speakers in my Sony are just fine for my living room. Why spend extra for a speaker system when you can just buy a Sony and have quality sound from the internal speakers??

I stongly recommend a sound bar. The sound from the TV is quite inferior. It made a huge difference for me. I bought both TV and the sound bar here.

Also check tv settings. Is it digital or analog audio? My tv has digital input that needed a converter. I used old minidisc recorder. There is also standalone converters for around $80 iirc.

If you have your TV connected to a surround sound system, you could connect the headphones to an audio output on the surround sound receiver. Either that, or you might try looking for an audio adapter that goes from digital to RCA plugs. Sorry to say, it doesn't sound like you have too many options. These headphones really do sound, and work great, if you can get them connected. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I'm not aware of any solutions apart from utilizing the headphone out on your audio receiver. With a TV this nice you've got a sound system, right? ;-)

Go to SETTINGS and select SOUND.In my experience Most channels (cable) sound best when I set the SOUND MODE at DYNAMIC with VOLUME OFFSET AT +4. Also the I put STEADY SOUND, SURROUND and BASS BOOSTER to the ON setting.This works for amazon Prime and other internet channels.Some Cable channels vary from this and you can play with them to find the best setting. Usually I just set BASS BOOSTER to OFF on those channels where the voices are unclear. Your experience may vary, but you're not going to hurt anything by experimenting with the adjustments

I went into tools and set it on amplify.That made the volume a little better. It seems the volume on all the HD tv's could use some improvement. So just play with the sound settings until you find one that is suitable. Otherwise you will probably need to invest in a soundbar. Hope this helps.

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.

I can't speak to "high pitch"; when I have a DVD playing, the sound is just not great overall, has to be turned way up. Adjusting the settings to "movie" doesn't help a whole lot. A case of getting what you pay for, I guess; external speakers might help?

You need to see if your TV has an optical or coaxial (rca) audio out. My son uses these speakers and they sound awesome. If you have this output then you're all set

I recently purchased the TV and am quite happy with the display. I wasn't very happy with the sound, but selected the customize (equalizer) option from the menu and adjusted it to my ears. Once adjusted, the sound was noticeably better and acceptable. However, if you want really good audio, I recommend you run the sound through a receiver and good speakers.

Play with the audio settings. There are quite a few. Default settings sound poor (hollow,low volume) but can be adjusted to more than adequate. Cant remember orig settings, but can give you my AUDIO setup config:SRS TruSurround HD <Off>SRS TruVolume <On>Equalizer Settings <OFF> *important* Base <75>Treble <50>Make sure the EQ setting is not set to Rock, Pop or Disco (they sound like garbage). Setting it to OFF allows access to Base & Treble menu/adjustments. Overall the sound is above average for what you are paying. More than ample volume once you get the settings tweaked.
