im thinking of getting Sony Bravia Theater - 5.1 channel sound ! but i must fix my problem 1st !

Well, not an expert myself. But I'm not going to ask you to format or reinstall drivers or things of that sort.

Tried the TV on another computer?

And one more question that might help you.
Did you disable HDMI audio output to your TV?
Yes, I know you said no sound coming from TV.
But could this be the problem where the TV is actually supposed to output sound?

distance of
- PC to TV?
- Speakers (Sub especially) to TV?
- length of HDMI cable?

and also..Operating system used? recently been using the living room HDTV to view animes and some minor gaming..so far works for me.HDMI outputs both audio and video right o_O? If for vista, we need to set the HDMI audio as default or not there will b no sound coming out from the tv.

Bro ! teach me How to disable HDMI audio output to my TV ??? coz actually my 8800GTS is not OUTPUTTING any audio! and things like that ??? coz actually my 8800GTS is not OUTPUTTING any audio!u said could this be the problem where the TV is actually supposed to output sound... hmmm... that makes sense too ! i will take note ! TQ !

PC to speaker is less than 1 Metre, Speaker to TV is less than 1 Metre, Cable is also less than 1 Metre

Im using VISTA ! how to set HDMI audio and things like that ??? coz actually my 8800GTS is not OUTPUTTING any audio! audio is mainly from my MB !

I have no problem with my set up:

- Audio + video both via HDMI/ 3870 to TV
- Audio via HDMI enable as default output
- Vista x64 Ultimate
- HDMI cable 1.5m (complimentary freebie from TV purchase)

Could it be driver or set up problem with your current set up?

i guess your ATI 3870 is SPDIF enable card !!! so it can transport audio through it... don't forget what card im using, im using GEFORCE 8 series bro!

help !!!

Just a question eh TS... What kind of video are you running when you get this problem?

well,go to the speaker setting and choose HDMI audio as default I attach a picture here..since recently been using HDTV as my output ooh yeah, not outputting audio? I guess the SPDIF cable from the video card to the soundcard is not connected. ATI cards mostly has built in Audio chip in it

worrr..new info for me..hehehehe.. TQ

Thx for the snippet

Nice desktop u got there

TS are u running rmvb,avi file from computer?
if yes.. try reinstall K-Lite codec
It worked for me because b4 im also facing same problem as u!
after reinstalled the k-lite codec everything is fine

hello, TS !
how much u bought ur 40S400A?
and which Home Theatre? DVD Home Theatre??
and what is monster cable? better than HDMI?

"Pak Pak" sound like electric sound? Ur PSU enough power or not? Since u r using GF8800, U should upgrade the PSU also.

bro, im running mp3, videos, gaming !!!! everything that related to sound output seems to have that pak pak sound ! damn !

I know ATI cards have build in SPDIF (unlike Nvidia cards that needs a SPDIF digital connection to the mobo to get AUDIO out through DVI)... but my main concern is i don't need audio though HDMI ! i just want my Audio out from my PC rear panel !

you mean latest K-Lite Codec ? i tried that already and still same !


i bought my Bravia in Sony Style for RM4750 (3 yrs warranty + 1 HD DVD player + 1 lightning surge protector + 1 nice SONY BAG)
bro, im not using MONSTER CABLE ! im using original sony HDMI cable only lah !

yes, this Pak Pak seems to be like STATIC sound problem... my PSU is 800W Gigabyte ODIN GT ! (bought it RM675)

RM4750 ???????
SonyStyle selling Rm4999 and that 1 is HDMI DVD player...
how can u get that price?? which sony style??


addon : i understand y u say rm4750..because of the point..haha...they gave u 250 points...

ur psu power is certainly more than enuff
maybe u could bang on ur friend door and browor thier HDmI cable..just to rule that ur hdmi cable not kong..

Have you mute the other sound like mic sound and other non-related sound?

i guess ur rear panel audio connector is not connected to the soundcard thingie of the mobo. most likely might b due to the soundcard? onboard tend to not work that good.

Guys, really thank you for all the precious advices !

but now im going to change my Graphic Cards to GTX 200 series...

will update all when my card arrive tomorrow !
