I can't get the audio to work. Am I doing something wrong? I have an Inspiron 1545. I connected everything and it all works fine except the audio. I plugged the audio cord into the device and then into the headphone jack and there was no sound...

Their help desk support people are great and I suggest you give them a call. It sounds like you are doing everything correctly that is why I suggest you give them a call. If you do not have their number just go on line and look up support Sewell Hammerhead VGA to HDMI and you find the number once you get on their site or I would think is it with the material they sent you originally if you kept it.

Let me ask, do you have it on the charger? Because if you do, it will not play the flash drive. Just as a suggestion, return it while you can because it is very hard to navigate your music files and then mine simply got stuck on one song and wouldn't play anything else. Needless to say, I trashed it about a month after I got it.

Did you get it? I have one of them, it doesn't work. Neither do 3 others I have tried in the last week though, so I think I have a bad sound card. Sorry - I think it worked alright before it stopped working, but I could not swear it and I have a PC. Good luck.

I have the same problem, it's a fault with the chord it's too thin. you can get one from Radio Shack or similar places. Just ask for an auxiliary audio chord and they'll provide it.

I'm a novice with electronics, but you could try hooking up a pair of PC computer speakers and plugging them in to the headphone jack to see if the problem persists in the new speakers. it could possibly bypass the problem and give you better sound quality. If not, there must be a problem with the soundcard and time for a tech to check it out. If it's warranty, get a estimate from experienced tv repair before you take it to where HCL uses, I've heard not so nice things about their work, google them for reviews of their company. Sorry, I don't remember name, but you'll find it in some of the bad reviews on Amazon. See if you can better advise, but I should be pretty close. Sorry I meant TCL.

what? why would it not work? does it work when you plug other things to it? and how about this laptop of your can you hear sound from it? when you plug headphones to it? basic troubleshooting.

I had somewhat the same problem. It looked like my audio cable was working but really was not. They sent me a new cable and now it works fine

Me, too 1005HA, but mine last almost two years before the earphone jack gave out. Now all I hear with earphones is the secondary track . . .music, soundeffects, harmonies. BUT NO DIALOGUE. Ugh. Going to check out the sound card idea. Before the warranty ran out I called the service and they told me to reinstall the system. What? Then the warranty ended. So now, onto sound car shopping. This thing is worth $175 now according Amazon and I neeeeeeed this netbook to get lots of stuff done this fall!

Without knowing a lot more about what you are connecting, I can only offer things to check. It worked out-of-the box for me. Check these: Is the 3.5mm plug into the computer headphone jack, is that volume all the way up and selected as the playback device? (Plug a set of headphones in to make sure). Not knowing the TV for playback, it seems you can see the image, yeah? Check that the TV is set for internal speakers, audio set from HDMI and the volume is up. These are things you might have already tried, including a different computer/TV setup. Lastly? Try a different adaptor although I'm leaning towards an incorrect setting on the computer or TV.

Horribly, because it doesn't seem to stay on the network very well. I've had two now, the first sent back to ASUS because it wouldn't work, the second is now still not really working. The few times I did try to stream audio, it worked, somewhat but would stop playing at random. (or are you not asking how well, but 'what technique do you use?') To make it work, you use apple airplay as I recall, I didn't try it with a PC though. It just shows up on airplay if the settings are right in the web setup UI.

I read that audio is not supported, BUT will the laptop/chromebook audio speakers still work or by plugging into the HDMI port it cuts out the audio of the laptop.

Mt son's headphone jack on his 2 year old Macbook Pro had the same issue. I bought him this item and he tells me it works perfectly.

thanks a lot sga, i have a samsung too along with some old logitechs that are plugged in now with the headphone jack. i was looking to upgrade to these though because the sound quality just isn't doing it anymore.that was my main concern too; whether or not the headphone jack works so again thank you.

I contacted Sony, there were no reports of problems with sound!???? So I pointed out that there were many people having issues, but the only recourse is to send it in under warranty to see if they can fix it - even though it's a design issue, in my opinion.

Maggie, Just like someone else already said, check both connections. Make sure the source of the audio is fine by connecting a wired speaker to it.Good luck!

Have you tried a Y cable with the red and white audio for the back of the speaker and the 3.5 mm jack to go in the laptop or a cord with 3.5 mm on both ends to go from the laptop to the aux hole in front then you put it in aux mode. That should work, it worked for me like that.
