Have been trying to wire up a gaming chair (Rocker)and only option for the PS3 if to keep to HDMI quality is to use the above jack. All options work but involve using componento or composite connections.
How do I enable the 3.5mm audio out jack please?
Thanks

want2cnow,
The chair will have to have its own amplifier, but connecting from 3.5mm from the TV, use your remote and tap in the following:
MENU > SOUND > Speaker Select > External Speaker
Does that help?

Thanks but sorry it does not. Not even if plugging in normal headphones straight in to the 3.5mm jack.
Any more ideas please? Thanks

It's not an amplified sound, so if it was there through headphones, it might be soft. If the TV isn't muted, and you've tried adjusting the audio signal - maybe from the game console(?) - you might want to call the Samsung customer service center for further assistance or to have a technician take a look at it.
Sound should be porting from the Audio Out port located here:

(Just checking to make sure we're talking about the same port)

The reverse of the Tv is shown in manual on page 3. As you can see, no obvious 3.5mm output...is it somewhere else, as an example how would I use headphones?
I am connecting by HDMI to maintain the quality. I can get it to work using component/composite but the quality is greatly compromised on the PS3...a 3.5mm jack or another "audio out" that could be used with HDMI would be ideal.
Many thanks.
