Is volume output from digital audio out (optical) from tv loud and good as from hdmi ?

The optical cable audio signal should be the same or close to the audio signal that comes from the hdmi. The hdmi just carries video signal in addition to the audio. I use the optical out of my bluray player into my Polk 9000 and it plays louder than I would ever need. Hope this answers your question.

Yes it is. I can turn my sound bar up loud enough to run you out of the room. Just remember that optical audio is not an amplified signal. That is what the amplifiers in the sound bar are for.

Yes, when you have selected the HDMI you want you can choose where the audio will go out (TV or Speakers).

There are audio settings in the menu, I was able to play with those and get good volume. The TV is at another location so I can't help you with specifics now.

If you have a single (yellow) digital audio (SPDIF) "out" jack on the TV, that is specifically for a digital audio "in" jack on another component. Pretty much every TV also has red and white audio out jacks. Those are what you connect to the sound bar. Alternatively, many TVs have an optical (Toslink) jack for audio out. I believe that your sound bar has one too. That would be preferable. AmazonBasics Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable - 6 Feet (1.8 Meters)

Sorry but my english is very bad, whatever, I'll try to help you, what kind of cable are you use to output the audio? HDMI, Optical?

Thank for your inquiry. The answer is no. Your TV can not transmit 5.1 channel audio from an HDMI digital source through the Optical connection.

Craig G.,The audio out port is a fixed (rather than variable) port, so the volume on the TV will not affect the audio signal output. If you're using powered speakers, that's ideal because it will amplify the signal from the TV. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

Secondary audio settings will only effect the audio over HDMI. It should be turned off so audio bandwidth can be freed up for the lossless audio codecs. With standard DD and DTS over optical it should not have any effect.

I have a new HDTV and it only has the optical output. We went from the cable box to the TV with HDMI, but I also want to connect to a home theater system. My receiver is an older one and does not have HDMI or optical. Can I just use the left- right audio outputs that are on the back of the cable box for the audio receiver as well as using the HDMI for the television??? Sal

The Monoprice DVI & S/PDIF Digital Coax/Optical Toslink Audio to HDMI Converter is designed to take optical as one of the inputs and produce HDMI output so I don't think it's going to solve your application. Have a look at the J-Tech Digital Premium Quality HDMI to HDMI + Audio (SPDIF + 3.5mm Stereo) Audio Extractor Converter (JTDAT5CH). It will take HDMI as an input and generate optical out as one of the options.

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.

Hi Kyle B., whether you use HDMI or an optical port, your TV will output sound for all your devices hooked up to the TV. In my case, I have XBox360, PS3, and a computer connected to my HDTV. As long as your TV is turned on, the sound bar will work for all the devices hooked up to the TV, which means if you turn off your TV, the sound bar will be automatically turned off as well. There is a small difference between HDMI and an optical port in terms of the quality of sound. I tried both and decided that I prefer an optical port, but it's highly likely that you might have a different opinion. Anyway, the sound bar is pretty cool. I've been using it for months by now and completely satisfied so far. I highly recommend it to you. Hope this helps!

No,not at all,todays LCD,plasmas or LED tv have an audio output,if not all,most of them are only bringing a digital audio out which is the best quality,just simply connect it directly to the TVee One speaker,put on mute your tv and use the speaker remote control.

The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals. In the simplest setup where all sources and monitors (I.e. TVs, receivers, etc) are HDMI capable, you won't need to worry about audio. However, if your receiver is HDMI-less, then you have the choices of sending analog or digital audio signal to it. While I've not tried digital signal but the analog works for me just like you stated in your question. I've read in the product reviews that the unit can only output one type of signal at a time. Meaning you can't have both analog and digital outputs at the same time. Search the reviews may help. The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals.

Sure. Just input the output sound from from your TV via, optical, hdmi, or analog.

No but there is a solution. The audio output is via stereo jack or the hdmi. What I did to have 5.1surround through a n optical cable was to connect the hdmi audio/video out to an hdmi / sprig (optical) splitter. You get as an output the hdmi signal + optical audio. I am using the viewHD splitter and it works perfectly
