My Alba tv speakers have gone very vibratory that's the only way to describe or sound tin .

Use the headset jack either.

Hi Daniel,
The most probable reason for this problem is the electrolytic capacitors in the sound section. A few of them need to be replaced. Please do not forget to check the speakers also.

Check and replace its tuner. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. Surf the site with patience. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

sound like there is a over heat / or failure of some circuits

32 inch are quite cheap now, so it maybe something you should re-place,

or flog to a 2nd hand shop if it last long enough to sell during test

I am afraid it sounds as though either your backlight or power inverter has gone faulty, may be worth contacting alba to see if they will honour the warrenty (unlikely but worth a go) otherwise maybe try your home insurance to see if its covered, failing either of these options, if you feel confident doing so, disassemble the tv and look for any signs of visible damage (capacitors leaking or any components looking burned or scorche, and replace. Try looking for any panel markings which will allow you to search for a price to replace the whole unit.
Unfortunately I cant give you and hard and fast cure, and it is very difficult to tell whether it is the inverter or the backlight has gone (having said that, if you are getting picture at the very beginning, it may suggest that the inverter is getting the power to the backlight ok, which may suggest its the backlight at fault.)
Hope this helps.

you can use a switched scart to phono adaptor or if you have audio out phono sockets on your tv use them as an input to your alba sound system

The TV just probably has crappy speakers, I'd suggest hooking it up to a better speaker system.

Miniboy,

Don't relied on the mini-speakers, of course sound awful! It's has only 2 watts built in speakers. Try not to set at a full volume. Have fun!

Raymond,

I have the same Surround sound system and a virgin media box. Mine has been disconneted for some time and I am just trying to figure out how to hook it up again. To be honest the manual that comes with it (or maybe just mine) is useless. The diagrams don't actually show the correct DVD player or connections. I suppose though it's better than having no instructions at all. If you post your E-mail address I can scan it for you. I am not sure if you can connect everything you have but I managed to connect the Vigin Media box and DVD to the kit and it worked fine (it might be possible to put a scart switch somewhere).

In my case, turning the surround sound OFF is what fixed the problem. The bass contibutes most to the perception of the location of a sound. If surround is ON without surround speakers connected, the internal TV speakers can only take the place of what would be the front speakers in a surround system. So turn surround OFF and set your bass preference wherever you want it. That worked for me.
