Is there any way I can output the sound from the set to an amplifier & speakers

If you are experiencing an issue where the QSC RMX 1450 amplifier is not giving any sound when connected to the main output of your Mackie 16 OK mixer, but works when connected to the aux send, here are some possible causes and solutions:

1. Check the main output level on the Mackie mixer. If the level is too low or muted, this can cause the amplifier to not produce any sound. Increase the main output level on the mixer and check if the amplifier produces sound.
2. Check the cables connecting the mixer to the amplifier. If the cables are damaged or not connected properly, this can cause the amplifier to not produce any sound. Ensure that the cables are connected securely and are not damaged or broken.
3. Check the amplifier settings. Ensure that the amplifier is set to the correct input source and that the input gain level is set correctly. You may also want to check if there are any protection modes or limiters enabled on the amplifier.
4. Check the speaker connections. If the speakers are not connected properly or are damaged, this can cause the amplifier to not produce any sound. Ensure that the speakers are connected correctly and are not damaged.
5. If none of the above steps work, there may be an issue with the mixer or the amplifier. You may need to contact a qualified technician to further diagnose and repair the problem.

Remember to always follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines when working with audio equipmen

The only digital audio input for this TV will be via the HDMI input. Of course, even with HDMI in, you're only going to get a simple stereo output from the TV. You can use the analog L & R audio inputs for a very similar sound from the TV speakers.

The digital multi-channel audio (Dolby Digital, THX, 5.1, 7.1, etc) encoded in the program should be connected to a suitable multi-channel amplifier with either a TOSLINK (optical), RF (coaxial) or HDMI cable for theatre-like sound. This can be done by (a) cabling from the source (DVD, BluRay Disk, Set Top TV Tuner, etc.) directly to a multi-channel amp and speakers, or (b) from the HDMI output of these devices (DVD, BluRay Disk, Set Top TV Tuner, etc.) into one or both of the TV's HDMI inputs. This will provide only stereo sound output from the TV speakers. You should connect the TV's TOSLINK optical "Digital Output" jack with an optical cable to the amplifier's TOSLINK optical input jack to obtain theatre sound.

To listen to the program shown, you would select the amplifier input assciated with the optical, RF or HDMI input that is connected to the source (DVD, BluRay Disk, Set Top TV Tuner, etc.) if connected directly. If the TV HDMI input(s) are used, they are output to the TV optical output and should be connected to the amplifier optical input. The amp input associated with the optical input should be selected to hear the program with theatre-like sound.

Your Gamer 2 Amp turns on whenever an audio signal is present on the input. The amp can have trouble tuning on if the output of the source (computer sound card, etc.) has been turned down. This can happen easily if you use amplified speakers - if you turn the sound card's volume control down - and then increase the volume at the amplified speaker - the resulting sound is the same; even though the signal has been lowered. The problem is that the output from the sound card isn't sufficient to turn on the Gamer 2 Amp.

Try turning down the external speaker volume, then bump up the sound card volume. You'll probably need to adjust the other inputs individually (Wave, Mic, CD, etc) so that none is too loud or soft. Once the input values have been set, gradually increase the output of the sound card in the control panel application etc. while decreasing the volume on the amplified speaker to maintain a comfortable level. Eventually, you'll find the correct volume level on the sound card output that will wake up the Gamer 2 Amp.

If you're still having trouble, review the manual, here. I hope this helps & good luck!

The only way to get Dolby 5.1 audio out of the Xbox will be via fiber optic cable from the Xbox to a Dolby Digital amplifier - which will output a decoded 5.1 signal to a 6 channel amplifier and 5 speakers and one sub-woofer. I doubt the Logitech speaker system has a Dolby 5.1 decoder built in with the amplifier for under $100, but I can't say for sure. If the Logitech has a an optical (or TOSLink) input, connect it to the Xbox and follow the instructions below.

To configure your audio settings, follow these steps:

1. Start the Xbox 360 console without a disc in the disc tray.
2. In the System section of the Xbox Dashboard, select Console Settings.
3. In the Console Settings area, select Audio.
4. In the Audio Settings area, configure settings for analog output or digital output:
   • Analog output settings:
     • Dolby Pro Logic II: Select this setting for stereo systems or Dolby Pro Logic II-compatible systems.
     • Mono: Select this setting for systems that do not support stereo output. Note If you have connected to Xbox LIVE and downloaded any AutoUpdates, the Mono option will not be available.
   • Digital output settings:
     • Digital Stereo: Select this setting to use digital stereo output.
     • Dolby Digital 5.1: Select this setting to use Dolby Digital output.
     • Enable WMA Pro: Select this setting to enable WMA Pro pass-through if your receiver supports the WMA Pro format.

Note You must use one of the following cables to support digital output:

• Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable
• VGA HD AV cable
• S-video AV cable
• Advanced SCART AV cable
• Japanese HDAV D-connector AV cable

Hello billyelder,

If the amp is powering up but not producting any sound, there are 4 possible causes.

1) Incorrect or faulty wiring.
2) No input or input too low for the amp.
3) Defective speakers.
4) Incorrect amp or head unit settings.

Start by checking all of the wiring and onboard fuses. Especially check the speaker wiring and make sure there are no shorts or grounds and that the insulation is not nicked or frayed. Check the RCA cables by substituting a known good pair. Check the receiver (head unit) to see if there are any settings that need to be turned on for the preamp outputs to work.

Test the speakers on another output to determine that they are functional.

Check the amp settings and insure that filters, crossovers and gain controls are properly set. If your wiring and the settings all check out and the speakers work on another output, the amp itself is probably defective.

Hope this helps.

The proper way to do this would be to use the audio output from the TV, either analogue left and right or the optical port, and send it into an dedicated amplifier or AV receiver. You can then use the amplifier or receiver to power the external speakers. If you are using a dedicated amplifier with no volume control you will want to change the audio output setting on the TV to "variable out" as oppose to its current "fixed out"settings. You can find this in the TV menu, usually under the audio settings. This will allow you to use the current TV remote to adjust the audio volume coming out of the external speakers.

You are getting low volume because there is no amplifier in those speakers. Computer speaker sets are powered -- there is an amp in one of them them which drives both speakers -- a computer audio output without an amplifier will only satisfactorily drive headphones.

Hello storymn,

This problem looks as if it can be you audio output amplifier stage of your TV. Also I would suggest shecking your remote and setup menu to make sure you are not in mute mode, this has happened at times. So your troubleshooting checklist is:

1) check the setup menu and remote to see if the TV is in mute mode

2) if you have the equipment check the audio at the output jack and the speaker.

3) unplug the set, take the back off and inspect the connections to the speaker.

*Only do the following if you have a background in electronics

4) Plug the set in and with a small audio amplifier check the output of the audio output stage if sound is present the check the circuitry on that path. If there is no sound the audio output IC or amplifier should be suspect in causing this problem.

I hope this helps,

Thank you,

If the amplifier is powering, but no sound, try disconnecting the speaker outputs from the amplifier and connecting a test speaker to the output channel. If you get sound, then one of the speakers in the car may be bad or shorted out. That can be confirmed with a voltmeter. If still no sound, then you need to check the input to the amplifier. Disconnecting the RCA cable from the input and testing that with an amplified speaker like you can get from Radio Shack will allow you to make sure that the amp is getting signal from your radio.

u have a problem either on the speaker or on the sound amplifying circuit. signal coming from the earphone jack is not amplified. check the speaker first. if its ok then check the audio output ic(integrated circuit). good luck!
