    Hi Guys,

    Can anyone recommend a speaker set with an optical input/output to connect to my TV

    I have a blu ray player already and have run out of ports to plug stuff into so this is the only port I have left that's not used

    Any suggestions on where I could go to research even would be greatly appreciated

    Ideally I'd like a good set, but budget will dictate what I get Up to 250 euro

    Thanks

    If your TV has a headphone socket, you can use that to connect to an external amp powering speakers. That will give you a wider variety of good speakers to choose from.

    I have used exactly such a setup myself.

    What's the model number of the TV?

    A 3.5 mm input socket but no headphone one just doesn't sound right.

    its a Viewpia LC-42IE12

    I've tried plugging speakers into the 3.5mm jack and no sound happens had a look in audio settings and didn't see anything for it!

    Found the specs and looks like you were right, its a 'PC' audio input. One of these might do the trick: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Neet%C2%AE-DAC-Digital-Analogue-Converter/dp/B0038M3ID8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1299874845&sr=8-1
