How to switch the sound from your TV to the Scart socket?

Hello,

I recently acquired a 107cm LED TV from LG, here is the reference:
https://www.lg.com/fr/televiseurs/lg-42LS3400-tv-lcd-led

On top of that, I own a Logitech 5.1 system, here is the reference:
https://support.logi.com/hc/en-001?mID=7191

My TV doesn't have any audio outputs, so I researched online to find the best solution to get sound to my speakers. In short, I need to go through a SCART out, followed by a male RCA to female Jack.

I received the SCART out today and have connected everything properly, however, I can't seem to switch the sound to the SCART.

Can someone tell me that I didn't make these purchases for nothing?
Do I have another solution if this doesn't work?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Configuration: Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) / Firefox 18.0

    Ok, have you turned on the little switch on "OUTPUT"?

    Normally, on your TV remote, there is a button "MUTE", press it, the sound from the TV speakers will be muted, and the sound, as HOMBOURGEOIS said, will output by default from the SCART.

    No problems, only...solutions!!! :-)
    IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR ISSUE IS RESOLVED, PLEASE MARK IT AS SUCH, THANK YOU.

    Bought too quickly, as usual and without looking at the connections and features, for €45 more and the same screen size, you had this: --> https://www.lcd-compare.com/televiseur-PHI42PFL4007H-PHILIPS-42PFL4007H.htm, and look at the connection part, not to mention the features, and there you had 2 audio outputs.

    So, is this really the back of the Logitech subwoofer: --> http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/09/9-9-10-logitechz506-60009.jpg? Did you connect the RCA cables to the RCA INPUT STEREO?

      Yes, it is indeed the back of the box, but I connected it with a Male RCA to Female Jack adapter. Can that change anything?

      And no, I didn't choose the TV model; it was a gift for a birthday! ^^'

      I just tested it by plugging it in via RCA, but nothing either! :/
      Maybe it's a scart that only takes "In", could it be?

      No, there is a INPUT/OUTPUT switch on it after all, right? At least according to the link you sent me?

      Yes, yes, I set it to Output and nothing happened! :/
      The TV allows you to change the input from HDMI to Peritel if needed. But there's no configuration possible to ensure that the audio signal comes through the speakers! :/

      No, there's no point in switching to the TV, as HOMBOURGEOIS said, the sound defaults to the SCART sockets.

      Please give me a list of ALL the devices, make and exact model, let's see if there's another way.

    Hello Sebo, can you show the SCART connector you have via a link, please? Thank you.

    Here is a custom wiring diagram for all devices, with 2 options for sound, and I think the second option will work:

    --> http://hpics.li/fa1db1e

    And here is the Scart with Female 3.5 Stereo Jack: http://www.cisic.fr/CISIC/media/aidestechniques/peritel-male-jack-fem.jpg

    And the Male RCA to Male 3.5 Stereo Jack cable: http://www.locasono.fr/450-777-thickbox/mini-jack-vers-rca-25m.jpg

    If it doesn't work with the second sound alternative, unfortunately I won't have any others to suggest.

    Best regards, STARGATE43.

      The connections I made are good, now I just need to check the second possibility.
      But after some research, I discovered that a hidden menu exists in LG TVs. I will try to see if there is a possibility to switch the audio signal there.

      In any case, thank you very much for your help!

    By default, the sound of a channel always comes out through the SCART socket.

      Yes, but how do I switch the sound from the TV to this SCART? Because it's still coming out of the TV speakers...

      there is strictly nothing to do
      I repeat: by default the sound of a channel ALWAYS comes out through the Scart
      to no longer hear it on the TV, just press the muted speaker on the remote or turn it down to zero .....................

      It just puts the TV on mute, and there's no sound from the SCART... :/
      Not on the speakers either...

      yes, it puts the TV on mute but it doesn't change anything at all on the sound (and video) output from the SCART, it's still active.

      How can I explain that I have no sound in this case?
