I have samsung pn50a460s4dxza tv but I cannot get sound from the tv when I connect hdmi cables to pc. The picture is great but the sound does not work, any suggestions?

Not all HDMI cables pass sound. you may need to use an external audio cable between the phone and TV

Hi,

Pls bear with me, have you tried not using the HDMI/DVI cable but simple straight connection PC > Standard 15 pin VGA cable and audio cable that has "stereo mini-plug" on both ends to the PC IN of the Samsung?

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

1. Are you connecting through HDMI?
2. Do you have another source to test the HDMI cable to make sure it is not faulty?
3. Do you have a second HDMI Cable you could test and connect with?
4. Does your TV have another HDMI Connection you can use to connect with instead?

Essentially we are looking to determine whether or not it is the TV's HDMI connector, the Blu-Ray's, or just the HDMI cable in general.

Your tv is a 2008 model, legacy 3d tv and requires a lot more than a current 3d HDTV does to view 3d. Today with a current 3d HDTV, Normally you only need a 3d source like a 3d Bluray movie and 3d glasses from Samsung and a HDMI cable connection from bluray player to HDTV. See below for your TV. You need a PC and IR emitter and Samsung 3d glasses plus user selected options on the tv.
Samsung 3-D Ready HDTV How do Samsung 3-D Ready HDTVs work?
Samsung 3-D Ready HDTVs are enabled by Digital Light Processing (DLP(R)) or Plasma Display Panel (PDP) engines that are capable of very fast refresh rates (120Hz). The inherent speed of these display technologies enables high quality stereoscopic 3-D by alternatively displaying left and right eye images. The display is synchronised with 3-D shutter glasses to provide the observer with a vivid perception of depth.
How do I connect my PC to a Samsung 3-D Ready HDTV?
The DVI output from the PC's graphics card must be connected to the TV's 3-D compatible HDMI port using a DVI-to-HDMI cable (or a HDMI cable plus a DVI to HDMI adaptor).
Alternatively, some newer graphics cards have a HDMI port instead of a DVI port. In this case, simply use a HDMI cable to connect the PC directly to the TV.
On all models, the 3-D compatible HDMI port is identified by the letters "DVI". (eg, "HDMI 3/DVI IN" or "HDMI 1/DVI IN")
What other equipment do I need to enjoy 3-D on my 3-D Ready HDTV?

• Windows PC with DVI output
• Compatible 3-D Shutter glasses and IR emitter with VESA compatible sync connector

How do I connect the IR emitter to the 3-D TV to support wireless 3-D shutter glasses?
The IR emitter should be connected to the "3D SYNC OUT" socket. The emitter should be placed on top of the TV with the LEDs facing towards the room. How do I turn the TV into 3-D mode?
Ensure that the TV source is set to "HDMI 3/DVI" (or "HDMI 1/DVI" for 720p models).
Plasma HDTVs Press the Tools button and select 3D Effect. Update from Off to Mode1.

hi to get picture plug in the hdmi cable into tv and pc then press FN key plus the key that has a picture of one or two tv screens along the top of the keyboard and i think for sound you will need an audio jack 3.5mm cable to connect to tv and the mic jack on your pc..im running a vga on my pc to vga on my tv and i needed an audio cable for sound or you might want to select your menu on your tv and select pc or hdmi not sure though thats what i do and it works great...hope this helps

Are you using an HDMI cable to connect the Laptop to the samsung 540 tv If you are not then try using an HDMI cable, you will get the sound and a better picture

I had the same situation.. I bought a HDMI cable and everything works great....

These are directional...but worked great for me.
. Select Active Series High Speed HDMI Cable with RedMere Technology 25ft...

go into control pannel and acer hd set it there and also in sound, a wee bit of trial and error but its there. mine was the same, it cost me ouch on the phone! good luck mine works ok

An HDMI cable carries audio and video. Connect the HDMI cable to the cable box and to the tv. Make sure you then select the HDMI input on your TV. Also, make sure the internal audio is turned on in the Samsung TV settings. If all is setup correctly and you still have no audio try using a different HDMI cable.

HDMI carrys no sound you still need to have the audio cables from the component plugged into the tv. If this doesnt do the trick you should call MS or check your TV's settings maybe there is a special function when using that resolution. Hope this helps.
