Audio Out on my LG DVD / Blue Ray

What model is the LG?

Very unusual not to have a digi out for audio.

Personally, I'd change it for a suitable player from the likes of Sony or Panasonic - lightly used examples are available around £40 and will give a toslink or coax digital out to connect to your sound bar.


Example (when Sony made good players rather than the cheap plastic knocked out nowadays):

Did the TV have freeview? Ie are you not using a sky box or similar with audio out?

Sounds like an ideal chance to upgrade to some hifi.

What model is the sound bar and humax so we can Google the connectivity.

[hornetrider]

Bin the humax then. You need something with a digital optical out.

Al the HUMAX boxes i have have Audio Phono's and SP/DIF Digital out's although some are Optical only. You see more and more "low end" Blu Ray players with only an HDMI output. What you need is an amp or soundbar with multiple HDMI inputs and Output so you can plug in the HDMI's into it and select which to listen to on the output. This would seem to fit the bill

Well yeah. Something needs binning.

I'd imagine the Humax would be cheaper to replace with a decent tuner with proper audio out.

HDMI audio extractor would probably be the simplest way.

In the meantime try turning the tv volume down and the soundbar volume up. See if that helps with the distortion.

Doesn't the TV have a scart socket you can take audio out from?

[Road2Ruin]

Check the tv menu and see if you can increase the output for the audio jack. Mine is controlled that way. Ideally the tv output should be as high as possible leaving the sound bar with little to do. I know it's not an ideal solution but worth a look.

Do you have a model number for your TV?

[gizlaroc]

Buy a used plasma off avforums, you can get a good Panny for £100.

That TV will be ste at the very best.

Are you sure the TV does not have a SCART?

[gizlaroc]

I bet it is fully wired.
