Love this TV in the kitchen, but since it's wall mounted, the sound isn't the greatest. Can external computer speakers be used?

I know nothing about computer speakers, but you can connect to any device that accepts a stereo Y-cable (One end is like a headphone plug and the other end is left and right RCA audio plugs). I use one of these cables to connect to my surround sound amplifier to get virtual surround. Much better results than the onboard sound.

Poor sound quality and limited volume is the one big drawback of this TV. However it's easily handled. Just buy any inexpensive pair of speakers and plug them into the earphone jack. I do recommend using powered speakers rather than Bluetooth or battery powered. I'm using a small and inexpensive pair of Logitech speakers with mine. Plenty of volume.

You need a receiver or sound bar with optical in. Otherwise you can't. Unless you mean physically, in which case you could hang them from the wall mount.

Yes. There is a setting for either internal or external speakers on the TV itself.

Buy external speakers, the sound on this thing is atrocious. Logitech Z623's are nice and pretty cheap

Yes. Use your audio out jack for external speakers. The sound will be far better than monitor speakers also.

Yes you could, however it would not be the optimal setup. I would recommend using a sound bar with a sub connected through an hdmi or fiber optic audio wire. These are some amazing computer speakers but I would not be trying to get enough sound out of them to use with a living room. So I would say get a budget soundbar with a sub.

Sound comes from the computer, not the monitor. Plug your speakers into your computer.

You could either hook it up to the RCA out or the 3.5mm audio plug of the TV. The set provides connectors for both. Note that (at least for my TV) the sound from the TV speakers will be muted only with the 3.5mm plug. Sound will still come out from the TV speakers if you use the RCA out.

It can be mounted and the sound is not affected. I dont have it in the wall and I use a sound system but my friend have it as you say and we hear it pretty good. The TV is amazing.

To Play TV to external sound system, you have to use the small earphone outlet from TV to the unit for amplification ,mine is connected to a Sony Home Dolby system, and connects via RCA to that unit. Like he typical computer sound system setup.

Most likely that TV cannot drive external speakers. These are not powered speakers, rather they need to be hooked up to some kind of amplifier.. Like a receiver.

sure you can, but the audio out of the TV is limited to the built in speakers or a mini headphone jack. I have had problems with a hum in the background when I plug the mini jack out into my stereo auzillary in. I just run the sound out of my laptop now to the stereo. That works perfectly! :)

your computer may not have this capability to send the sound through your HDMI cable. you can get a seperate sound cable for your jack in the back of the tv or get speakers for your computer. I use speakers on my computer.

You can, but in order to use sound system with the tv only, you will need a receiver.

Yes you can, but as it does not have speakers, you'll have to use the TV speakers. The best alternative is to include a receiver and also speakers.

Yes, but volume isnt that great. Thats the only thing about these types of tvs we found lacking. There are wireless soundbars and woofers for them.
