Samsung LNT4661F Audio Problem

I don't get sound on my TV when using only the HDMI connector and
source set to HDMI2. I had to get a HD component 5 plug cable and set
the source to Component1 to get sound while still using the HDMI
connector. I thought I only needed the HDMI. Am I wrong? Thanks, Bill

Could you explain what source you are using for your video input?

Sorry, I meant to include that information. I am using a Comcast
Motorola DCH3416 HDTV/DVR receiver box. Bill

Have you cycled teh power on both the TV and the Moto box? Sometimes
the HDMI handshaking can get screwed up on one end or the other and
cause communications problems.

Check if you can select what type of digital sound is output from the
receiver box. Either specifically for HDMI or in general.

I'm not familiar with your models but many TV:s don't handle
multichannel or Dolby Digital 2.0 (and don't seem to tell the source
about it) but requires you to manually select sound type in the source
as "Stereo" or "PCM".

I use analogue sound in parallel to HDMI to the TV in my system (and
S/PDIF to the surround amp) in order to simply switch source at the
surround amp when I want DD 5.1 sound or just stereo. (This is because
the control is common to both "digital sound" and HDMI outputs.

Thanks for the suggestion. I turned both off and there is no change. I
do get excellent audio using the audio HD component plugs even thought
the HDMI plud is not carrying the audio..

Thanks for the suggestion. I am working on this. I am unable to
determine the settings yet. Best, Bill
