Why won't the sound transmitted to my tv with this cable come out of my stereo that is connected to receive signal from the tv's output?

Can you get sound from the Tv from the connected computer? Some laptop models didn't have the sound capability built into the mini dvi ports. I know my (early 09) MacBook only pushes picture through, while my girlfriend's(10-11?) MacBook pushes sound and picture.. Go to your system preferences, and click sound. If there's an option to play through HDMI, then you can do it, otherwise, you can't.Check the settings on your computer, and on your tv. Some TV's won't push sound from certain ports to another without having 'external speakers' on and some other options checked first

It depends on your TV. Many don't relay sound from HDMI in to their own OUT ports, or (as Brandon suggested) might do so only after their settings were changed (see TV manual). See AVSForum.com for discussion and a place to get more detailed help.

Like Peter said, not all TV's bridge the sound from an hdmi in to a stereo out(digital/coax etc..) Try using a different output port, or going hdmi to the stereo, and then hdmi to the tv

As far as I know you have to connect the stereo directly to you computer. Your computer can only send sound through one device. Basically, your computer can't recognize your sound system.

You need to change your sound output to the brand of your TV/stereo when you open the Preferences of the your MBP. Change the sound output setting after the hdmi cable was plugged in. System Prefs -> Sound -> Output.You can also check it out in Apple website.

Check all your wired connections. I have mine connected to a switch box and I have to adjust the switches sometimes to get sound. If that doesn't work, try a new set of RCA jack cords from the base to your output device.

I remember having that issue when I first hooked mine up as well. I think the source for your audio on the TV is messed up. Make sure you have audio coming out of the TV and not through a receiver or make sure the receiver will play the audio. I have to turn off my TV speakers in order for the audio to play tthrough an external source.

Two things: 1. Make sure that the TV option for sound is set to the internal speakers, otherwise it will direct the sound signal to the mini-plug sound output jack on the back of the set (this is used to send the signal to another amplifier to drive external speakers). 2. Make sure that any routing of the HDMI signal to and from other devices is arranged properly (i.e. devices-&gt;inputs of receiver and Input to TV is from the TV-out hdmi port)

I just connect it to me Flat Screen and have the surround sound play off the TV. It not directly connected to the surround sound.

You don't say how you are trying to use the cable. PC to TV? If that is the case, check the sound settings on your PC. You might need to change sound settings from default to external, or possiblly HDMI, depending on type of PC, sound card, etc.

There should be a setting on your TV in the menu that allows you to choose an output source. Connect the red and white cables to your system and to your TV as well. Then, change the input on your system to auxiliary (aux) and it should work

Forgot one thing: If you have the TV taking in the broadcast or cable signal and you want sound from speakers driven by the Sony receiver then you must use the audio out jack (a mini-plug) from the tv to one of the analog inputs on the receiver. Make sure the speaker pattern setting on the amplifier matches your speaker set-up or the sound will not be properly routed.

Olof,If it's happening on every input, it may be an issue with the audio bar. If it's only happening on one device, you might check the settings from the source to make sure you're sending the correct audio signal to the TV or audio bar. For instance, you wouldn't want to send a 5.1 audio signal to a stereo audio bar, otherwise the audio may lack significant clarity as a result.--Mr. S--Mr. S

Unless you want your audio to go to a source other than your TV... like a 5.1 stereo setup. And in that case, you'll probably want to use the digital optical or digital coaxial audio output over RCA cables (unless your stereo doesn't support that).

There is Audio out at the back of the TV Screen. Simply plug that to the input on the receiver.

My guess is without knowing your setup is that one of your tv's don't have Audio out. Notice the plugs that it uses in the picture, some higher and lower end tv's skip this as it is an old tech also since it cancels the HD sound with analog sound.

You need to confirm that that the audio on your computer is set to your TV speakers (external). Without knowing what type of computer it is, you may have to add a new driver so that your computer works in sync with your TV sound.

Check the tv menu for audio options. Maybe there is an option to send the sound to external speakers that may need to select or enable. Make sure you are connecting the wires to the audio out jack and not accidentally into some other jacks.

I don''t have a Apple TV unit so not familiar with the set up. If you receive sound through both speakers by removing the Apple TV unit from the circuit and hook the DAC to your TV and your analog components, then I doubt the DAC is creating the problem.

Look for a digital cord in the box and see if you have a digital sound output hole. Ie look on the bottom of your tv for something that says "digital audio out" to connect the digital audio cord from the base to the tv. If you don't have that, look in same area for something that says "audio right" and "audio left" or it might say "audio R" and "audio L" then plug in your yellow and white cord to the connectors and other end of cord goes to your tv ears base. No wires are connected from the tv ears to the base as they are wireless. Hope this helps you out. Look for a digital cord in the box and see if you have a digital sound output hole.

Hi Notorious A.G.A, Did you succeed receiving sound from TV to external speakers using an optical cable? It doesn't seem to work for me. I'm using "External Speakers" setting in the TV with the receiver powered on. I hear nothing.
