Televisions

[ebergman]

Hello,

Recently I have purchased a 42" Insignia LCD TV (Model# NS-L42Q-10A). Everything is working great (aside from 2 dead pixels - which aren't noticeable it you're not looking for them up close). I've hooked up my cable, Xbox 360, and PC all through HDMI. I'm using HDMI port 1 as the manual describes for the computer hook up, to utilize the "PC Audio Input" with HDMI Port 1, via a DVI to HDMI cable. This is working fine now, however, I'm only getting mono sound.

Is there something I can do about this, or simply a limitation of the way I have it hooked up? Would SPDIF make a difference, or can I simply not use a DVI to HDMI cable for my video out on my computer and receive stereo sound?

Thanks!

Hello ebergman and welcome to the forums.

The TV should automatically default to mono or stereo depending on the signal (mono/stereo) coming from the source (PC).

Please make sure the sound settings in your PC are set to Stereo. Also make sure the sound/music you're playing has been recorded in stereo.

You may also want to set the TV to Stereo:

1. Go to Menu > Audio
2. Set MTS/SAP to Stereo

Should the issue persist, please try resetting the TV to factory default:

1. Go to Menu > Settings
2. Scroll down until you see Reset to Default; highlight the option and press OK/Enter.

Regards,

Gonzo

Just wanted to update; this was a problem with the cable I was using for audio, and nothing the PC or TV were at fault for. Replaced the cable, works great.

Thanks for a quality and affordable product!
