I increase all the volume on the tv to watch regular tv and the sound is very low but to watch movies on the dvd is fine, what could be the problem? thanks

You have to go to the sound mixer on your PC and increase the volume on Internet Explorer, Microsoft Silverlight also.
To find the mixer try clicking on the speaker on the taskbar.

Unlike ripping CDs, ripping DVDs poses many challenges for the average user.
Because you need to get audio and video and need to get them synced correctly problems with the final version frequently arise.
One common problem is that the volume is too low.
The solution might seem to be to simply turn up the speakers, but the sound of a low-volume movie cranked up can crackle or distort. Instead, you increase your DVD rip volume by changing it before you begin the rip process.

Increase DVD rip volume with iSofter DVD Rip (see Below).

With this program, a window called "Input Settings" allows you to control the volume before you begin. After the DVD is in the computer, you just use the "Volume" slider to increase the output volume. As of November 2010, the program costs $34.95.
Try Aimersoft DVD Ripper (see Below).

After inserting the disc, you simply click "Load DVD" and wait for it to load
(this could take a few minutes).
The "Settings" button presents a volume slider similar to iSofter's.
Push it to the right to increase the output volume.
As of November 2010, the program costs $35.

The free dvd::rip program offers the most customizable settings for the advanced user

Not only can you increase the output volume with a volume slider, you can also compress the sound as well.
This is useful for movies with both loud and quiet parts (such as action movies). It reduces the volume difference so you don't have to reach for the remote every five minutes.

The fact it shows on tuner and not DVD means not likely a audio problem--check all audio settings in the set's menu AND if you are using a box for signal look there--has to be a setting.

Some JVC sets (brand indicated here) also had issues with when watching the background audio (like a sporting event) was louder than the people talking and could be interpreted as ringing--This is a setting in the set called something like "Theater" or "Hall"

Has to almost certainly be a setting in the set.

it depends on what volume level the tv is on
if the level of volume is low and making the sound then try unpluging or pluging in the sound system to the tv

Hi,

Just cross check the volume settings in volume controls. All the sliders should be at max level specially Volume Control and CD Player.

If it is fine then there is some thing wrong with the media you are trying to watch or can be problem with audio driver.

I connected my surround sound to the audio output on my samsung tv and it works fine. Of course I don't have an hdmi input on my surround sound system because its an older model, but it works great. Just got to put the surround sound to audio instead of dvd or tuner setting

Not much you can do about this. The movie industry sets movies to low volume when recording for better sound. They expect you to have the equipment to boost the sound. This cuts down on their outside noise. Only solution for this is to install external speakers as I have done for my movie or TV playing (I installed a TV adapter so I could hook up a projector and display the BIG game outside) but as you say, we couldn't hear it until I hooked up external speakers.

My phillips tv model # 55pl9773/17 sound is too low when im watching regular tv, but when i switch from tv to av1 or av2 (watching a dvd movie or playing video games) the sound is normal. How do i get my cable TV to sound the same?

Hi

What do you mean the sound is?

Yes, the dynamic range on DVD's is enough to cause the high and low passages to be somewhat annoying but, sounds more like a movie theater. This kind of dynamic range showed up first on Beta HiFi and VHS HiFi VCR's because of thier range as well. If there is a feature in your audio menus on your TV such as "audio expansion, SRS, Wide mode, etc." turn it off and let the audio be processed without expansion of any kind as that will amplify your dynamic range alot more. The lock up issue could be something Philips is aware about and if under warranty contact them. Otherwise not much you can do except manke sure the voltage going to the TV is failry stable between 110 volts and 120 volts. Sometimes dramatic drops and or increases can cause lock up or confusion to the microprocessor in the TV.
