Posted on Sunday, January 17, 2010 - 23:43 GMT I just got done hooking up the following - Bose 321, PS3, verizon fios dvr box, Samsung LCD
here is how i hooked it up
Fios to Samsung via HDMI
PS3 to Samsung via HDMI
Bose to Samsung via HDMI
I then ran Digital audio cable form Bose to the Samsung - no sound from Bose
If I take the Digital Audio out and use RCA I get sound
What isn't hooked up
The Blue Ray on the Samsung LCD is absolutely unbelievable |

Posted on Monday, January 18, 2010 - 00:15 GMT Samsung is a nice unit for display. Sounds like an audio menu setting issue.on the monitor. Somewhere there should be a choice as to how the audio gets sent out from the display unit... |

Posted on Monday, January 18, 2010 - 02:33 GMT I looked thru the settings on the Samsung and dont see anything to specify Digital Audio. Should the digital audio go from the cable box to the Bose instead of Bose to the Samsung? |

Posted on Monday, January 18, 2010 - 03:02 GMT The cable is not a digital audio but an optical audio |

Posted on Monday, January 18, 2010 - 03:15 GMT I don't think you want to bypass the tv but I guess you could do that.
Are you getting sound from the Samsung when the Fios and PS3 are in use?
Are you sure the Samsung has pass through for the digital audio? |

Posted on Monday, January 18, 2010 - 03:21 GMT Optical cable is just a means to transmit digital audio. Let me see if I understand what you're trying to do...
Are you trying to transmit audio from the BD to the Samsung through the optical cable or the other way around from The Samsung to the Bose 321 HT? |

Posted on Monday, January 18, 2010 - 12:04 GMT Each component is hooked to the samsung via HDMI - I thought the Optical cable would then transmit all sound from the Samsung into the Bose
I only get sound from the FIOS and PS3 if I use RCA cables
Thanks for your help |

Posted on Monday, January 18, 2010 - 12:34 GMT Greetings Tom,
If you see a red light on your optical cable (don't look directly at it it will be very obvious) when it is connected to the TV (the TV turned on with some programming displayed) then there is likely to be a setting on your Bose unit to tell it to look for a digital input signal. If there is no red light from the TV, and that seems to me to be very unlikely but then there must be a setting to tell it to output digital audio unless the cable is damaged. |

Posted on Monday, January 18, 2010 - 13:38 GMT OK, so you're trying to get the sound from the TV to the Bose as I thought.
As Jim pointed out; you should verify the TV optical output then look for settings on the Bose. Somewhere within your settings something is not being told what to look for where. Can you tell us what model Samsung? |
