I wasted 4 hours downloading drivers. And other you tube suggestions. I returned it.

Check to see if your TV has RCA audio inputs in the back (it probably does...they're the little round red and white ones with a hole in the middle). Next, I'm assuming your laptop has a headphone jack. If it does, then go to Radio Shack and ask for a "stereo mini to male RCA" cord. Plug the mini end into your headphone jack on your laptop and plug the RCA end into the back of your TV. This should work. If you have surround sound, then you could also plug the RCO end into your surround sound system.

First I would see if it works with another device like a bluray player. If it does then you know your TV/laptop settings are off somewhere. If not then you know it's the cable.

Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you as I am having similar problems. Hooked my YHT S-400 up to an LG TV and I can't get the sound bar to work. Sound is coming through the sub-woofer but nothing through the sound bar. All connections appear good and the HDMI Audio is set to AMP as per instructions. Wondering if the sound bar itself is defective.

Hello, if you are using windows vista or windows 7 change your sound output through control panel into hdmi the main reason why there's no sound is because your using your default sound output. (i always change the sound output before using the tv with my laptop)

VGA is only for the Visual section, if your laptop came with a Audio Jack, theirs many different kinds one is yellow and only one type of connection, and the other is a normal speaker jack that might work only if the TV has a connection for the speaker jack in the back of it...hope this works if all else fails go to your local Computer store and by an adapter specially made for conversion from the PC to the TV... best of luck

Not sure if ur laptop has HDMI connection, but If you are using DVI to HDMI connection from the laptop then you need another audio cable(stereo/RCA).

The driver package includes the HDMI Audio drivers. You need to set that up in the Control Panel > Sound; as the default device.

I had to plug in my sound bar to the HEADPHONE jack of the TV. Try that and see if it doesn"t work for you too.

I bought the TV Samsung LN46A650 and I am trying to connect my laptop through this cable (Cables To Go - 43096 - 10ft HD15 M/M UXGA Monitor Cable with 3.5mm Audio: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EI7SE4),but it isnot working. Do you know if the cable is wrong or if there is any installation needed?

I have my computer output connected to a surround system instead of directly into the television. Make sure that you have the audio on your computer turned on and the connection to "audio out" and not "microphone". If connected properly, you should not be able to hear the laptop audio. It should be directed thru the converter and combined into the HDMI connection at the set. There should be no audio coming from the computer speakers if properly connected.

Did the earlier answers solve your problem. I would do exactly as S. Berry mentioned. Also, you may try first connecting both pieces together, then insert into the HDMI of the TV and finally to the mini display of the laptop. Sometimes this works only in this order. Then try restarting your laptop. It might work.

Check your device manager regarding your sound card. My trouble was bad apeakers on my seven year old dell xp 1500 it works great with my stereo. Also check your sound settings upgrades from microsoft can change settings...i know thats sooo stupid but it does

I have a 2010 Acer laptop with Windows 7...I just plug it into my laptop and it usually connects to my laptop. Sometimes I have to switch ports. It works most of the time. It seems that it is temperamental. I am not sure if it is the laptop or the speaker that is at fault. I still like it when it works it works great. I have lost a lot of my hearing due to my last job of over 30 years wearing a headset so the laptop speakers are not enough for me. Good luck is all I can say.

you need to download the projector's driver to your computer, so your laptop can recognize it, I just dont know where to find the driver, i want to know too.
