Secondary audio drowns out primary audio

It is possible that you have the wrong sound setting on the unit. Nearly all TV's have different sound styles. You can select them from the audio or sound menu. One thing it might be set to is the Surround option. You should switch this to normal stereo.
Try different sound settings till it sounds good for you.

Some TV's have sound settings to empathies voice. If the TV has a centre speaker you can increase the sound output on that. That will make voices louder.
However many people do complain about loud music drowning out voices on TV. The problem is that movies were meant to be seen in cinemas and TV sound systems don't match up to that. If you can't find a solution consider a surround sound system as this will correct the sound problems on movies.

Here are the most common reasons you may not have sound.
Starting with the most common solutions for no sound from TV:
Television Has No Sound Answer 1: Make sure TV is not muted.
Television Has No Sound Answer 2: Make sure the TV is not set to SAP (secondary audio protocol)
Television Has No Sound Answer 3: Make sure TV input is correct (someone may have accidentally pressed the "aux" input button or similar causing the TV to use an input with no sound going to it)
Television Has No Sound Answer 4: Make sure there is not a pair of headphones connected to the TV audio out jack on the side or front of your TV.
Television Has No Sound Answer 5: Check all of the cables that are connected into the back of your TV. (it is possible the TV was moved slightly and a cable has become disconnected or loose)
Television Has No Sound Answer 6: If you have a receiver or surround sound connected to your TV, turn it on and see if you get sound coming from the external speakers.
Television Has No Sound Answer 7: Turn off the TV, cable box, and anything else connected to the TV. Sometimes turning everything off and then back on can fix the problem.

Do you have an optical audio output jack on your tv? Some tv's don't output audio from that jack unless you go into the setup menu and turn in on.

That cable doesn't exist. You can't just shoot electrons into one end of a copper cable and have light come out the other end.

My $.02...

Treat your TV like the primary user of the Hi-Def Video ONLY, not the source of any audio. Ask yourself, does it really NEED to be in an audio chain if it doesn't tune the station off the air?

Your JVC should be the primary destination of high-end audio, directly from, say, the Cable Box' while the Hi-Def video is sent to the TV.

Zigzagging good audio and video through the room to devices that don't need it is expensive and wasteful, plus it adds complexity and unnecessary connections that add nothing but could fail.

you need to run red and white from your tv to the surround sound and the same from your dvd to surround sound

I had this problem with mine and had to turn off the surround sound

You have to get an optical audio cord.

The optical output on the vizio is right next to the ac cord. Make sure that your audio amp has the same input conection.

HELLO . WELL THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN THEM IS THAT THEY ARE TUNER'S AND THEY ARE SEPRATE FROM EACH OTHER.!!! JUST LIKE THE VHS TUNER'S YOU HAVE .!!! THERE IS THE PRIMARY WITCH .!!! WOULD BE (A) AND THEN THE SECONDARY WITCH WOULD BE (B) IT SOUND'S LIKE YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE AUDIO BOARD. OR THE (IC'S) ON THE BOARD. IT WOULD BE CHEPER TO DO. IF YOU KNOW HOW.? " WELL "GOOD LUCK"

Audio Dubbing on DV: Here's how you do this: Play your tape on the TRV-9 and feed the signal into the TRV-900, using the Firewire connector. Set the TRV-900's audio option to record in the 12-bit mode. When this is done, you will have the video re-recorded on the TRV-900 and the audio laid down on the primary 12-bit audio channel. Then, you can run the tape back through for a 2nd pass in the TRV-900, with the recorder set to the audio-dubbing mode. The audio you put into the TRV-900 this time, will be recorded on the secondary 12-bit channel. You can select either 12-bit channel when you play the edited tape back or you can mix both stereo channels into the output. Once you record on the 16-bit channel, you can't dub audio back onto that recording, without erasing the original channel, as the recording space for both 12-bit channels is occupied. You can't selectively re-record just audio onto the 16-bit channel either, without the video being re-recorded along with it. Both video and audio are sent over the same Firewire connector, so you can't input them from mixed sources, as you can with analog recordings. Only the secondary 12-bit audio channel can be used in the audio-dubbing mode. You can't dub onto the 16-bit channel or onto the primary 12-bit channel. The primary 12-bit channel can be used only when you're recording video along with it.
