If you turn up the external speakers all the way that are plugged into the audio out the projector speakers will automatically turn off.

I am also using HDMI but you can also. Use ROC jacks for sound from your DVD or blue ray to put sound straight to your surround sound system and then turn off the sound on the progecter

On computer screen Right Click on Volume Control -- Left Click on Playback Devices -- Click on Digital Galaxy 757 and disable its sound.

Webwizardry, did you get any help with this? I have the same issue and have not found a resolution. The answers here do not apply if your Blu Ray only has one HDMI output and no other outputs.

It does not. If you are hooking the projector up to a TV or gaming system you have to run the audio cables separate.

It has a 3.5 aux out jack in the back for putting sound into other devices. So depending on if your device has an 3.5 audio in port. You can use your standard head phone jack cable to transfer sound from the projector to the amp. If you need the RCA Audio cable (red and white audio cables.) You'll have to get a 3.5 aux to RCA audio cable to connect the projector to the amp. I have a sound system that only has the RCA hook ups for it so I have to use a 3.5 to RCA cable to transfer the sound and it works like a charm. Hope that helps.

You can hook up speakers to your source (DVD player, TV, etc). Or, you can use the mini-jack in the back of the projector, but first you have to plug in the audio from the source to the projector! Typically, that is RCA-to-minijack.

It has audio output but it is not powerful enough to drive big speakers, you will need to either hook up the audio from your player to your speakers or the audio output from the projector to a receiver that will amplify the sound.

This computer has a full size hdmi out port. So, you can use that to connect to a projector. Audio will go through the hdmi as well. Speakers can be hooked up through the projector or the computer. If you hooked them up through the computer you will need to shut off the audio through the hdmi cable so you can have the sound go through the computer speakers.

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

Most TV's have an option to turn off the built-in speakers inside the TV. All the Cinemate II is doing is acting as an EXTENSION of your TV speakers (via RCA or TOSLINK). I turn my TV speakers off and let the Bose handle all of the work.

If you already have a 5.1 setup, then why do you care about audio on this projector?Oh, after thinking about your question, I realized that you must not have a Home Theater Receiver. This projector is not an AV receiver. You can only hook up headphones/small speakers to this projector. You should really be using separate receiver for your speakers.

All you have to do is turn the volume down to zero. It will not come back up by itself and will not interfere with you surround sound system.

Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up. The HDMI cable went to my HDMI TV and the optical cable I had went to the receiver for my room soundaround speaker system. The TV speakers work also if you don't want to play the receiver, a earlier mention in another post said, he could not get his TV to play sound out the speakers.... NOT true the sound still travels thru the HDMI cable to the HD TV even with the Optical cable plugged in and ran to the receiver. The sound does not designate one or the other and comes out both. I just keep the volume on my HD TV to 0.

Hi Kathy - I bought this projector and found out too late that you cannot easily just attach external speakers. The speakers built in to the unit are ok, not great. If you are using it in a large room, forget it. While it is a great projector, I ended up sending this one back to amazon, and got a different one that I can attach speakers to.

The Built in speakers are horrible. But if you need them to work, you should just have to make sure that under audio options that they are turned on and working. Then it's just as simple as giving it louder. I recommend having a small set of computer speakers to go along with this projector, since the audio is very poor as in most built in projector speakers.

No, it does not. Normally one would not expect that of a projector. Audio out would come from your source such as a Blu-ray player or computer. It does NOT have a built in speaker (for a good projected image a speaker would potentially vibrate the image) This is meant to be a higher quality projector than a business meeting projector and it is - it is great for home theater applications where one has a separate amplifier running the speakers.

You would need a surroundsound stereo receiver in order to get your surroundsound. The projector does not provide a audio 3.5 mm output. If you use HDMI or RCA connections on the back of the projector the sound will only come out of the projector speaker.

As far as I know there are no build in speakers. It connects to for example a laptop and then the sound will come from the laptop, not from the projector. edit: apparently there are build-in speakers, but I've never used those.

All you need to have a Receiver to connect External speaker. I connected my Epson To Denon DHT- 391XP 5.1 channel home theater ststem. I am hanging the projector from ceiling. I also connected Samsung blue ray player to watch DVD and Blueray. Recently I added new WD player to receiver my so that now I am watching all formats of contents. Hope this helps. Happy watching and Happy holidays. Merry christmas.
