Get a theater type system. A few tv's had sound out puts, and many have sound inputs. Look on the rear panel to see if you have audio jacks. They will say if they are in or out.\n\nSome circuitry can be used as output even though not designed that way, just plug into the in jacks and see if it will work. Don't be dissapointed if not........

if you have a new(ish) pc you shouldnt , but what you will have to do is go to your control panel open up your sound card controls and select 5:1 surround from its menu

You have to connect it using a cable that has RCA plugs at one end and a male headphone jack plug at the other and connect the RCA plugs to your TV's "audio in" jacks and the other end to your computer's "headphone" or "speaker" jack.

You can install winamp and go through the Shoutcast TV. Lots of shows there always on.

Unfortunately, closed captioning works because the television data being broadcast carries some text information with it... it's not taking the sound and turning it into text. If you're watching movies, you may be able to turn on subtitles.\n\nThe best solution would probably be to get a cheap pair of headphones... they should plug into the same place speakers would. If you have a portable CD player, iPod or other such device, you may already have something that'd work.

They make translator boxes for your tv. No it's not that expensive. If you can hook your tv to internet, you can download a filter online that's called Real Speak.

My only suggestion is to try PowerStrip to adjust the tv out settings from your video card:\n\nhttp://entechtaiwan.net/util/ps.shtm\n\nThis utility gives you complete control over your video output, from refresh rate to overscan.  Good luck!

you cant produce true 3D sounds out of just two speakers, for stereo sound you need two speakers to give you a Left/Right, for true 3D sound you will need three additional speakers to give you the effect of surround sound.\nif someone tells you that he can produce surround sound out of a stereo headphone he is lying because that's impossible.

Assuming that your speakers are on, and that you're not on mute, I have one suggestion for you......\n\nSometimes when I'm watching a video, I'll turn the volume on the video player down.....and if I forget to turn it back up, that same thing happens to me. Call up your player and turn the volume to "max". I bet that will give you your sound.

Try adjusting the sound in the media player or your computers sound. It may also be the sound card.

If you dont have any external speakers like the previous people suggested, try to use an equalizer to make the sound a bit louder (winamp and most media players have one). It can make the sound quality a bit worse but you would be able to listen better, This worked for me when I wanted to watch a divx movie in my summer house and I could barely listen to the dialogues.

You can always put a modulated signal over the 60Hz (or 50Hz if you are in other parts of the world) carrier.  There used to be a stereo system which used this concept to remote speakers around the house.

Install one.\n\nI recommend Sony Sound Forge.

Through your speakers. You have to have an Audio Card and a Speaker. Once you play a Audio / Video File, you should hear the sounds through the speakers if its on.\n\nBYE

If you are in Windows Media Player then go into your Enhancements and look in the taskbar thst appears down in the bottom left.  Press the arrows and find GRAPHIC EQUALISER, and pull 1KHz to the top mark.  This should help because it works for me, it makes it louder but may distort the sound a bit.  Experiment with the other ones and find a balance that suits you.  You can always reset....
