Wow, everyone's answers are so professional. I think i can learn more. Thank you!
He started his own thread...gene c said:It would really help to know the brand and model numbers of the tv, the dead surround system and the cable/satellite box and/or dvd player. This will help us to give a more precise answer rather than a generic one which may or may not apply to you and your equipment.
If your surround system has in fact died then you need to take the audio connections from it and plug them back into the tv until you get a replacement surround sound system. You may also have to go into the tv's menu and turn the speakers back on.

I hooked cable to TV but I am not getting sound in the surround sound speakers.
What kind of cable i need to get this.
The cable is connected directly to TV
You need an audio connection from your TV source (cable or satellite set top box?) to one of the available audio inputs on the home theater system.Originally Posted by far10nia
the speakers work when i watch a movie but not when i try to use them for watching tv, why wont it work?
The HDMI cable sends sound from the HT to the TV. The only exception to that is if both the HT and the TV support something called ARC, in which case the signal can travel both ways. It appears that your HT does NOT support ARC, so yes, you do need the additional cables.If i already connect them with hdmi cable, do i still need a digital optical connection or red/white analog stereo inputs?
