Can you hear the game sounds rather than using tv volume? I am new to this and hope gran kids can play quietly

You can hear the game sounds in tv still. They can hear taking In the headset and then couldn't hear the game sounds.

Sadly no. The speakers are used for listening to the friends you're playing with.

These headphones are a step above the xbox headphones...but they only give you voice chat, game sounds still come from t.v. You would have to invest in higher end ones like turtle beach.

You still hear the sounds on these, but I prefer that so I can moniter what is being said. I really don't think children should be set loose on the internet without an adult present because there are a lot of inappropiate things said on the internet, especially in these game rooms. I moniter everythilng when my grandkids are on the internet. When they hear me say that's enough they know to get out of that game right then or I will take the Xbox.

The game sounds still come from the TV. The only thing you can hear are friends your playing with in the headset

I doubt you can. If I were you I'd return it and buy a tile. I've had much better luck with Tile. Also, Tile's sound runs through a range of audio when it makes a sound, that way if you are old and loosing your hearing at some pitches, you can still hear it. It seems tile must have done some research on what would be the best audio.

There are two volume settings on it. Even the lowest setting is not very quiet. I can hear it while the tv is on at a normal volume...If that helps at all.

The sound is really poor. One thing I have noticed is that the sound from regular DirecTV channels is much louder than the sound from HDTV channels or the one from the DVD or Blue Ray player. I have everything connected with HDMI cables. I tried also with optical cable with the same results. The volume difference appears also when I listen thru the Home theater. Does anyone know if this is normal?

What do you suggest to improve the sound? I just ordered the TV - don't want to raise the roof or anything but don't want the sound to not match the picture. Thanks.

This fan noise complaint is absolute rubbish. Unless you watch TV at volumes lower than 5 on the TV with a sleeping baby in the room, you're unlikely to hear anything. I have had my TV for a month now and have not heard anything from the TV. Maybe it's because the fan on my PS3 or the fan on my HD-DVR are louder than the fan on the TV.

No, the audio plays on the headset and television simultaneously. I find myself turning the television volume all the way down so you can't hear it anymore and just using the headset. It sure helps when don't want to wake anyone up at night.

The sound is more like the no signal on the TV sound. I use the White Noise setting every night. It blocks out almost all other sounds.

There is a volume control on the headset turn that up. You are not suppose to hear the tv when you have them on.

Hello, Did you ever figure this out? I just bought this TV last night and I'm very happy with it, but I use a surround sound system and have to keep the TV volume on 0. There should be a way to turn the speakers off - right? Thanks for any info.

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.

You can set it to radio inbetween stations for white noise and put the volume all the way down, that's what I do. Haven't found a way to choose no sound at all but this is pretty close. I can't hear it down on the lowest setting.

Make sure TV sound is disabled. All sound will come through SoundPlate. It has much better sound than the TV.

No..the headphones can only be used to communicate with other players. My son said that you can turn the volume down and still hear the game in the headphones but that is only with certain games.. in order to see if that game does that you have to look on the back of the game.. sorry.. my son said the only thing you can do is lower the volume

Yes, no problem. You can also put the TV on mute and the sound will only come from the speakers

The best option is to connect all to the TV (sound bar and DVD player). Turn volume down on TV and sound bar works great. You can try it the way you're asking but I'm not sure if it will work.
