Product Review (submitted on January 4, 2012):

I thought I was the only one that had issues with the sound quality, especially out of the headphone jack. I use a plain old plug to RCA connecter to hook it up to my shelf system (nothing fancy), and it sounded decent, but I noticed that when you changed the input or first turned it on, the audio output would be "loud" for about a second and then become much quieter, as if it was acting as a line-out perhaps.

Anyway, it was frustrating because if I used the music apps (like Pandora), the sound out of the tv sounded awful, pretty much like computer desk speakers. I was about to try an optical to RCA converter, but before I could get one, my TV alerted me that a firmware update was available. So i did the update (Dated December 2011), and as SOON as the tv restarted, the audio out was MUCH louder, and sounded much better as well. I'm not sure if anyone else out there noticed the same sound issues, but if you haven't done the update, it might fix the audio, it sure has for me.
