    Out of interest did you select Audio Out on your TV sound menu when you connected the audio jack

     

    Samsung Sound Problem First of all, please perform the Sound Test to confi rm that your TV audio is properly operating.

    (go to MENU - Support - Self Diagnosis - Sound Test)

    If the audio is OK, the sound problem may caused by the source or signal.

    There is no sound or the sound is too

    low at maximum volume.

    • Please check the volume of the device (Cable/Sat Box, DVD, Blu-ray, etc.) connected to your TV.

    The picture is good but there is no

    sound.

    • If you are using an external device, check the device’s audio output option (ex. you may need to change your

    cable box’s audio option to HDMI when you have a HDMI connected to your TV).

    • Reboot the connected device by reconnecting the device’s power cable.

    The speakers are making an

    inappropriate noise.

    • Check the cable connections. Make sure a video cable is not connected to an audio input.

    • For Antenna or Cable connections, check the signal information. A weak signal may cause sound distortion.

    • Perform the Sound Test as explained above.

    Unfortunately your Mac does not carry audio over video:

    You'll need one of the adapters this user tip discusses to combine audio and video:
