I've read where people try that but they say in most cases, the sound is |
| 15 |
out of sync. Usually the sound is a little ahead of the video. If I |
| 16 |
was not going to ever use anything but my puter, I guess it could be |
| 17 |
doable. Thing is, if I was say playing a DVD, got DirecTV again or |
| 18 |
something, I'd want the sound to go to the speakers there to but if I'm |
| 19 |
not using the puter, it wouldn't be possible. However, if I just tap |
| 20 |
into the audio going to the speaker, then I don't have to worry about |
| 21 |
syncing or what the source is because the source for the audio is the TV |
| 22 |
itself. I can also use the volume button on my remote too. When I cut |
| 23 |
the sound up that goes to the internal speakers, the sound will go up at |
| 24 |
the external speakers as well. |

When I had DirecTV, the box has a digital out thingy. It looks like |
| 27 |
some sort of light thing. Anyway, it was claimed one could use that but |
| 28 |
again, if using something else, no sound for the external speakers. A |
| 29 |
lot of TVs have audio out for this purpose. It's just that mine |
| 30 |
doesn't. Next time I buy a TV, it will have external audio with volume |
| 31 |
control. Given the poor sound from this TV, I have no idea why it |
| 32 |
doesn't have a audio out connection. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I might also add, I tried buying speakers for that. Most of them don't |
| 35 |
work with the DirecTV remotes. I hate having two remotes for something |
| 36 |
as simple as adjusting the volume. |

I got the wood cut except for cutting out the hole for the speaker and |
| 39 |
routing out so it sits flush. Progress. So far, looking good. Can't |
| 40 |
wait to get it together, stained, speakers in and making noise. :-D |

It's been a while since I did a project like this. My table saw was |
| 42 |
rusty. So am I. ROFL |
