Surround sound speakers don't work help

I recently bought a new sony bravia t.v. and a sony all in one blu-ray disc/dvd all in one home theater system. We cannot get the surround sound speakers to work watching regular television. Can anyone help solve this problem? Any help is appreciated, Thanks, Ken Please write to {Removed per Forum Guidelines}

JUANGONZ is correct. The easiest way to get the surround is to take an optical cable from the cable box to the input on the back of the Sony receiver. You will have to change the input on the Sony to digital in. Make sure you have Dolby Digital enabled on the cable box settings. Also important is that most standard definition content is broadcast in stereo, usually only high definition is broadcast in 5.1 surround.
If you can stop in at your local Best Buy, I am sure they would be happy to show you on a display unit, or setup an appointment to have a Geek Squad Installer connect your components if you would like.

  • Surround Sound speakers don't work with ITUNES 7

    My surround sound speakers have worked with my computer since I got them and still are working. However, when I upgraded to ITUNEs 7 suddenly only the front speakers work, this only happens on ITUNEs and nothing else. What is going on and how can I fix it?

    I have surround sound speakers and mine are working fine with iTunes 7. Now, I don't want to state the obvious, but my surround sound speakers have a bass box attached and the leads go into the back and sometimes they come loose. You've probably already checked this but I thought it worth a a mention.

  • 5.1 Surround Sound speakers not working since 7.1 downloaded

    I'm not sure what is causing it...But I cannot get my surround sound speakers working with ITunes since I down loaded 7.1. They all work with Windows media player. Is therre any setting I should be aware of?
    Dell Dimension E510   Windows XP  

    I have the same problem and it is driving me crazy. I have an older logitech quadraphonic Z-560 speaker system that I love and have been using for years with never any problems, until I installed Itunes 7.
    At first after the upgrade I was completely unable to play any file at all, which was later resolved by updating my SoundBlaster live Audigy card drivers. Now I can at least listen to music but only out of my front 2 speakers. I also noticed my QuickTime player does the same thing only playing out of the 2 front speakers. The issue only exists when trying to play audio through these 2 programs.
    I have read all the posts on this issue that I could find yet have not been able to resolve it. I changed all the QuickTime, and creative settings appropriately for my hardware and no luck. I'm running the most current version of divers on windows XP with SP1.
    Is it simply an incompatibility issue with my sound card?
    PLEASE HELP with any advice!!!

    Under what circumstances? Have you tried a reset? I always worry when people talk about "speakers" - if you are referring to the bottom of the phone, there is only the one.

  • Connecting my MacBook Pro to my DVD Surround Sound Speakers?

    I'm a student filmmaker in the UK and pretty much do all my video editing from my bedroom using Final Cut Studio. I am using a MacBook Pro3,1 (bought in 2007) and have recently decided that I want to start working in 5.1 surround sound.
    As I have no surround sound speakers with my MacBook Pro, I was wondering if it would be possible to connect it up to my DVD surround sound system? This would ultimately save me having to buy a compatible set and having two lots of surround sound speakers around my room...
    My DVD player is a Panasonic SC-PT150. The 6 surround sound speakers each connect to it through the standard +/- "clip-in" wire set up (which, obviously isn't compatible with my MacBook Pro). There are also two AUX sockets (one for Left and one for Right) on the back of the DVD player. So far, I have tried connecting my MacBook Pro to these sockets using a Mini plug to RCA cable, however, all I get is an incredibly loud humming noise.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might, either overcome this problem or, get the setup to work another way? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thanks both of you for your help.
    It doesn't mention either of those connections in the manual, however, yes you are right, it takes digital input. I'll have to call and check if the toslink cable is compatible.
    I tried connecting the mini-stereo-to-RCA cable to my Nokia phone (which is actually where the cable came from) and that plays through the DVD speakers just fine, when i select AUX mode. Although, as you said, it only plays stereo.
    Say the mini-toslink cable is compatible, would I need to get a 5.1 surround sound card for my MBP?
    Thanks again.

  • EXTERNAL SPEAKERS DON'T WORK

    External speakers don't work. They are LABTEC LCS 2420 speakers. The internal speakers with RealTek driver works fine. I have an HP Pavilion 23 touchsmart All-In-One PC with windows 8. I plugged the speakers in the headphone port then tried the audio jack in the back with the same resullt. When I right click on the sound icon and click on playback devices and riight click  in the open area i checked  show disabled and disconnected devices only the speakers realtek icon appears. Do I need to download other drivers and how should I do this?

    Try the following: Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Manage Audio Devices > in the 'Playback' tab you should see the ports (rear and headphone) > R-Click the one that you are using for your external speakers and make it the default device.
    Trust this helps.

  • 5.1 surround sound speakers

    I have these Logitech 5.1 Surround Sound speakers and it would be +really nice+ if I could hook up my Santa Rosa Macbook Pro to them. The speakers have three input cables, and the Macbook has one. What kind of converter would I need?

    I've read this because I have a Z-5300 (Logitech) 5.1 speaker set, and I want to hook it to my MBP. Of course, only having the 1/8mm audio and the digital out - we have a predicament. How to get 5.1 sound from a stereo jack. In the above post, the soundblaster USB audio device is recommended - however Creative doesn't support OS X 10.5 - in fact no Mac OS at all. Will this device work for me, or is there a better device sub $100 that will do the job for me? I'd love to have my speakers hooked back up - and don't want to get a different set, but will if I have to .... please advise.

  • HT6067 How can I connect 5.1 surround sound speakers to my Mac Pro?

    How to connect 5.1 surround sound speakers without a receiver to my Mac Pro, so I can test and hear surround sound files I am creating?

    As far as I know, the only way to do that is with the digital out, toslink I believe(1). . Currently there are very few external usb soundcards that are known to work with Mac and produce 5.1 sound, perhaps Diamond Multimedia or Zalman?. Analog surround really doesn't work (green, yellow, black cords)*. So, maybe, Garage band/VLC? or the dvd player might be the only things I know that could produce 5.1 sound, but I could be wrong.......
    (1) You will  need a speaker set with an optical input...
    * maybe try this--i think it's called an " HD audio rush " box and it converts digital to analog audio 5.1 supposedly-, you can look on ebay for similar things
    sorry I couldn't be of more help

  • External speakers don't work with Yosemite

    I have just upgraded my iMac to Yosemite and now my external speakers don't work.
    They are there to be used under System Preferences -> Sound as "Bose USB Audio"
    But when I select them I get no sound and "The selected device has no output controls"
    I do get sound if I select the Built-in Internal Speakers
    The Bose speakers worked fine under Mavericks.
    Can anyone help me get them working again ?

    Had similar issues with Bose Companion 5 after Yosemite installation. Tried most suggestions posted here without success.
    But Birkers' post about plugging in/out analog headphones from Bose puck gave me an idea.
    1. Removed Bose USB cable from iMac (Late 2014 Retina 5K / Yosemite 10.10)
         - confirm that Bose disappears from Sound panel in System Preferences
    2. Played music through internal speakers - OK
    3. Played music through 2nd Display speaker - OK
    4. Re-connected Bose USB cable to a different USB port
         - confirm that Bose appears in Sound panel in System Preferences
    5. - Bingo! Sound now playing trough Bose system

  • Upgraded to yosemite now my speakers don't work and i can't play videos on Facebook.

    When i play a video on face book I'm told i need to upgrade flashplayer, i wasn't even aware i had it downloaded! I have got rid of flash player (i think ) and now I'm told i need to download FP before i can watch videos. I can't play games on FB either and my speakers don't work.
    I wish i hadn't upgraded to Yosemite to be honest as i prefer the old layout and it seems to have caused me problems. Everything was working fine before the Upgrade to Yosemite.
    Im not good with computer terminology so please reply as simply as possible :-)
    Thank you

  • Optical audio and surround sound speakers for my Mac Pro

    In the back of my Mac Pro there's an in and out for Optical Audio. What is this and are there any surround sound speaker systems out there that will plug into it? Most surround sound speakers seem to require a PC-style triple-input, with three jacks (Green to front, Orange to centre and Black to rear channels). Very few surround sound systems have the additional option for a single headphone socket-style jack, and I'm not sure if they will work terribly well with this single connection.
    Can anyone recommend some speaker choices, particularly in the UK, that will give me good surround sound from the optical audio or single headphone jacks? Many thanks.

    You might want to look at a device called the Griffin FireWave: [http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/firewave]
    It connects to your MacPro via firewire, and has the green/orange/black jacks out to a standard 5.1 speaker system.
    It comes with a software application that lets you customize the sound, and also synthesize surround from mono, stereo, etc., sources.
    It would definitely open up your choices for speaker systems. I'm using one with a Klipsch 5.1 Promedia set of speakers. Works and sounds great.

  • Using sky go from Mac air to TV and surround sound speakers

    I have skygo, and want to watch it on my tv through HDMI cable, can I use logitech surround sound pc speakers too somehow?

    As your TV has HDMI inputs which will support sound as well as video, use a MiniDisplay port to HDMI cable (Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable by Cablesson works great)  or a MiniDisplay port to HDMI adaptor and HDMI to HDMI if not. Just make sure the adaptor supports audio as well as video. Just select HDMI in the Preferences Sound
    And yes, you could use your surround sound speakers via the 3.5 mm headphone jack, just make sure you select this option in Preferences Sound if you're not using the HDMI for sound

  • My iPhone 4 speakers don't work with music it only works when I get calls

    When I try to play music or videos my iPhone speakers don't work but when I get a phone call it works and I've tried everything to get them to work but no result yet. The first time it happened it was because there was lint in my speakers but I cleaned them out and now that its happened again I can't figure out what's wrong.

    OK, let's try a reset.
    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
