I hooked my TV (analogue and digital capable) to my surround system but get no sound on digital channels.?

Question

I'm confused here. I plugged my TV output into my surround system and the analogue channels sound works but the digital channels don't. The digital channels come through the TV speaker, but not the sound system. Why would the analogue channels audio work with my external speakers but not my digital channels? It's not a high-end surround system, but I've never had any problems with getting DVD players or VCRs to work, just the digital TV channels. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You have to trace every audio and video source back to the playback system. You have to provide more info. You are DEFINATELY  confused to the point that you can't define what your inputs and outputs are. If the analog sources work, use that, period. What connectors are you using? That is the key to any interface. You have to define digital interfaces otherwise there is no way to answer your question.
