No surround sound while watching cable TV

We have been trying to get our Coby 5.1 system to play surround sound while using our cable/dvr box. It works just fine when watching dvds, but we can't figure out what is wrong when connecting it to cable box. We connected an optical cable from our cable box to the dvd player...and still nothing. We have picture and sound from the projector, but no surround sound when watching TV...but we still have surround sound when watching dvds. Our projector does not have an HDMI cord, although it is an HD projector. Any help will be greatly appreciated! We have tried everything we can possibly think of! Thanks!

Check the settings on your cable box to see if it can put out a signal that is compatible with your audio system and select the appropriate output that works for your setup. Look for a selection that says Dolby Digital.

    There's a good chance that this is a known issue.  We'll have a Flash Player 18 beta later this week that should resolve this at http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta/

    You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
    You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.<br />
    Current Firefox versions use the plugin-container process to run plugins, so you need to check the volume setting for the plugin-container process.<br />
    You will only see the Firefox program or the Plugin Container in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.<br />

  • No sound while watching you tube videos on my ipad. This is my second replacement ipad with same problem.

    no sound while watching you tube videos on my ipad. This is my second replacement ipad with same problem. No sounds coming out from the speakers, even after reset everything. Mute button is assigned for mute function instead of screen rotation lock.

    Hi herbie13!
    It sounds like you will still want to link your iPad and computer, but you want to prevent the iPad from syncing information from your computer to your iPad. I have an article here for you that can help tell you how to set this up:
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    You will want to follow the steps here to set up the iPad for syncing, but when it comes time to sync, you'll just want to make sure that the boxes for syncing the multitude of items that you can sync remain unchecked so that none of that information gets synced into the iPad.
    Another note: your second Apple ID will not be able to access the apps, music, movies, tv shows, etc., that you have purchased under your primary Apple ID. Even though it seems that the secondary Apple ID still has access to those items, that is just because you are viewing your second Apple ID through the iTunes Store section on your computer and you have those items saved locally on your computer. You will need to repurchase and download all of the content that you wish to use again on your second Apple ID, if that is what you wish to solely use on this iPad.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

    Did you use iTunes to convert the videos? If so you shouldn't it doesn't do it right. You should use another program. Use MPEG streamclip it converts it pretty well with sound. http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html

  • No 5.1 sound while watching movies in Vista with X-Fi XtremeGam

    Hi all, I have just bought a new PC running Windows Vista, with the PC was a set of Creative T600 speakers and a Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer card.
    I am aware of the problems associated with X-fi cards and games (I have Alchemy installed and all works fine), but when I watch any movies on the PC I lose sound from the rear speakers. I have tried setting the card to Entertainment Mode and setting up 5. speakers but even here when I run the test I get no sound from the rear speakers.
    So my question would be is there drivers to solve this problem, but still retain EAX gaming sounds etc. or am I reduced to watching 5. movies with only the front speakers working?

    actually this issue has been discussed on the forum already
    the "gamer" version does not include the hardware decoder, you have to use powerdvd to do that

  • Unable to hear sound while watching videos on my ipod....help?

    i have exported a number of quicktime videos to my ipod using quicktime pro...
    and synced them.
    but when i play them on the ipod no sound comes out....
    why is this?

    plug in your headphones. LOl jk, maybe your videos got corrupt because of a error. A few videos on my ipod got corrupt because of videora, and i still dont know why. Like sound would trail of drastically.

  • "Squelch" sound while watching TV

    The one standard definition Motorola 2500 set top box I have is making a squelching sound any time I have it on.

    Have you tried simply unpluging the power from the box for a minute or so?
    if not, try that
    if that does not resolve the issue. call tech support at 1 888 553 1555 and have them send a reset... if still not, have them replace the one box

  • How can I hook up my Sony surround sound to Apple TV to watch streaming videos?

    How can I hook up Apple TV to my Sony surround sound to watch streaming video from Netflix?

    Which Apple TV is it?
    There should be outputs you can use for video/audio. The latest Apple TV has HDMI out. Find the correct cable that matches your TV and follow Sony's user manual to hook everything up correctly.

  • Qosmio F20-155: no sound only picture while watching TV

    THANKS

    Hi
    Did you choose the right PAL signal which is a standard in your country?
    If not so do it. But if you have no choice so its not possible.
    Furthermore I think the Jim meant setting the TV signal manually.
    If you use the MCE so go to the settings and then general.
    Choose MCE setup and set up TV signal.
    There is very important to set the right region.
    Then you can configure the TV signal manually.
    But I can give you warranty that it will make you picture better.
    As in the Toshiba document (above) described the TV might not work outside the country you have bought the notebook.

  • Feedback from surround sound

    Hey guys,
    When I have my iMac (new model - thin design)  hooked up to my surround sound while it's playing music there is absolutely no interference and it sounds great but if I pause the music and the computer makes no sound, after about 30 seconds a dull buzzing sound will happen through my surround. It does not happen with any of my video game consoles or while watching TV. I'm not sure what would cause this, I know that sometimes if you run the audio cable beside a power cable you can recieve interference that way, but it's isolated from all power cables. If anyone has a similiar issue that's found a resolution please respond.
    Thank you

    Some cinema systems do this when you press Play after pausing or after the adverts finish and the programme or recording resumes. It's because in Pause or during the adverts, there's no DD signal, so when you resume play, or the programme/recording recommences you hear this noise when the DD signal resumes . My Pioneer AV system does the same thing. I haven't found a way to prevent it.

  • How do I connect my Apple TV to my Philips surround sound DVD system?

    I can't seem to get surround sound when watching Apple TV (or when watching live or recorded TV via my Virgin Tivo). I use a three-years old Philips DVD home surround system to get surround sound when I'm watching Blu-Ray (I have connected my Philips Blu-ray and my Philips DVD player without difficulty). But I can't figure out how to get surround sound whne watching Apple TV. I bought an optical cable with an audio jack on one end, to connect to the DVD player and the optical end clicks into the ATV. Still nothing. Any ideas?

    The surround system seems to support digital audio - it has settings for HDMI audio and video (even though it doesn't actually have an HDMI port) I bought the optical/audio cable on the advice of a staff member in the Apple Store, but frankly, she didn't see, to understand my problem. She recommended I insert the cable into the "MP3 cable IN" port but that' not working.
    I'm probably not explaining myself very well - bottom line: I have a DVD surround system and an Apple TV, so how do I connect them?

  • Blu ray and surround sound

    I just purchased a Sony Bravia kdl-52v4100 and a ps3 to watch blu ray. Now I want to buy a surround sound but watch blu ray at the same time with out buying a blu ray dvd player. Is there any way I can connect my PS3 with the surround sound to play together.

    Assuming you don't already have a surround system, and plan to use the PS3 for DVD and Blu-Ray playback:
    1)  Buy surround system with an optical audio input.  Most have this.  Since you have a PS3 you don't need one of the ones that has a built-in DVD player.  I'm partial to the Yamaha HTIB (Home Theater in a Box) systems.
    2)  Buy optical audio (TOSLINK) cable
    3)  Connect TOSLINK cable from PS3 to surround receiver
    4)  Leave existing video connection between PS3 and TV in place
    No need for a separate DVD player, the PS3 handles this.
    You will have to change some options of the PS3 to enable the optical audio output.  I can't help you here as I don't own a PS3.
