QuestionWhat's the difference between this cable and the one that costs 25 bucks?
Asked 8 years ago by Bard.
- Answer Honestly, $20.01 and where it is purchased. Many marketed high-quality cables are constructed of the same basic materials as the lower-cost alternatives. They may have colored insulators or gold-plated connections, yet simple lamp wiring is sufficient for speaker cables and a $5 dynex HDMI transmits all the same electrons as a $45 GigantoCable.

QuestionHave new Samsung 43" Smart TV. Also have a builtin sound system. When I watch live TV, sound comes through my speakers. When I switch to Netflix, only get sound through TV - not speakers. How can I correct? Thanks.
Asked 9 years ago by Stan.
- Answer Ts Netflix available directly through your TV? Or does it come in through Roku or Apple TV? If it comes in directly through your TV: This is why you connect this cable as a audio return to your sound system, Set the input on your receiver to Audio 1 and it should work If it comes in through Roku or Apple TV. You will need to input an HDMI cable into your sound system and do the input through whatever HDMI input you connected it through.

QuestionI had a new Cox Cable box installed yesterday and now the Soundbar sound (using optical cable provided with Samsung TV ) is garbled. The sound from the TV itself is fine. Would replacing the digital optical audio cable potentially solve the problem?
Asked 6 years ago by UnderWaterSound.
- Answer I haven’t had issues with optical cables. I had a Bose system that need a optical cable. I bought the Dynex as it is a perfectly fine cable and it works just as good as the overpriced cables. I have an HDMI cable on my Cox receiver so cant tell you for sure. I’d try a new inexpensive Dynex cable and see if it works

QuestionDigital Optical through tv to old receiverI recently got an xbox one only to find after the purchase that optical was required for 5.1 sound (after talking with ms support). Can I run the optical from the xbox to my hdtv (which has an optical input) and then have the sound come though to my old receiver (that has no optical input) which is connected to my hdtv via the old rca red, white, yellow output jacks? (I don't care if its lesser quality...just want surround without having to buy a new surround setup after paying out $500 for my not so next gen console)
Asked 11 years ago by PANdaRUS.
- Answer Use a Fosmon digital to analog converter. I had the same problem.

QuestionWhat input do I use with the optical cable? I tried all of them and none worked. The cable box and the tv show the red light.
Asked 13 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer You must have an optical cable input on the TV! The input will not be on your cable box. it's from the TV to the sound source.
