I have an Apex LD4088. When using the HDMI ports to connect my PS3 or DirecTV box, visual comes through fine, but no audio. When connected any other way, the PS3 and TV box work fine, and they work on other televisions with HDMI as well. Why am I getting no audio when connecting to my tv via HDMI cord?

I am having the same issue with this. Did you find a solution.

This is how AUDIO works in HDMI setup, you can select the source to send the digital audio along with the digital video through HDMI, the receiving end HDMI sound setup must be set to receive the digital audio through HDMI. Otherwise the audio may be sent and received through analog audio ports (Red (Right channel) and White (Left channel) RCA jacks) in stead. Most of the new TV and DVD player use auto detection.
So please check the HDMI audio setup to see how the audio signals are set to be processed.

Please leave rating if it helps.

I dont know how to solve this but I have experienced the same thing. Two of my hdmi outputs dont work anymore.

if your dvd player has hdmi or video audio (rca connections) just plug in to tv matching color to color on rca or hdmi to hdmi

The problem is generally the cables, period. If there is a condition whereby the cable was bent, kinked, overheated, or the end damaged in any way, this problem can exist. Many times when a cable is attached to the device, it is cross-threaded or left loose. If the contact is not 100%, you can experience this condition. I suggest that you obtain NEW cables and connect them tightly and firmly in place. This should eliminate the problem, UNLESS the male connection on the device/s have been compromised.

Yes it will work coming straight off the dirctv box. What kind of tv do u have that doesnt have an audio out. I have had to actually use rca splitters to get sound from bluray and cable box because the new samsung led tvs only have optical out. Dont forget the unit not being used must be off or u will have 2 source sounds at one time playing.

I just got through explaining this to someone else - the HDCP encryption system that Philips uses is not future-proof - you will continue to have this problem as long as you use an HDMI connection with a Philips TV. My advice, which you can take or leave, is to use Component (Red, Green and Blue) cables. you won't get 1080p, but you will get 1080i, which is pretty close.

Hi to connect your ps3 to your tv all you would need is a hdmi to hdmi connector which would mean the sound would come straight out of your tv. The sound comes directly out of the hdmi cable. If you want to connect the ps3 to an external reciver you might want to get an AV reciver with HDMI inputs. This would connect to your tv and you can switch channels to different sources connected into the receiver, also they come with very good seperate speakers so you wouldnt have to use you telly speakers and you can connect your directv box into it aswell.

Alternatively you can connect the audio phono outputs from your AV multiout connector on your ps3 (the cable should be provided) to a seperate sound system with phono AUX inputs, these are found on most soundsystems but check with whoever your buying it from. But this means that you cant use the HDMI output of your PS3 for video just the AV multiout video signal (which is a bit rubbish, so I suggest the latter solution.

Hope this solves your problem

hey, im hopeing the tech will be able to sort it out for you, theres not much any of us can tell you what he couldnt tell you tomorrow so be patient.

if he doesnt get it sorted drop us a comment and il try to help you.

S-Video and Composite are analogue and HDMI is digital. Your receiver dose not have the capability to convert from analogue to digital and hence you are not not getting any video.
