So I just bought Creative Gigaworks T40 speakers and have been using them with my PC playing music and it sounds great. I then tried playing some PS3 games with it to see how it sounds. I have a Samsung LED-TV but it only has 1 Audio Input in the back. There is no RCA input. Anyways I connected a 3.5mm cable to the audio input in the TV and the other end in the speakers.
For some reason - I have to turn the volume on the speakers all the way up to get normal sound on my TV. (its not even that loud)
Why is this? When i use it on my PC - its loud enough half way. Also there's this annoying hissing sound that I can hear after I turn the volume to the max.
How can I solve this problem? Do I have to buy 2 RCA adapters and put it on each side (tv audio input & speaker input) and then connect them with an RCA cable? OR do I have to buy some sort of an amp?
Sorry if this is weird to post here about this..but I thought I ask here to see if anyone can help me out quick - since I really don't know another forum that can help me out with this - and I tried searching google - but nothing.
Hopefully someone here can help me out quick

Not sure what you're getting at with this response. I was trying to subtlely tell him he doesn't have an LED TV at all, he has an LCD TV with an LED backlight. Samsung are as dumb as a bag of shit for calling their new TVs "LED TVs" because they're not. It's like me calling my car a hover car because it's hovering above the ground on 4 cushions of air.
as for why they call it LED, is all just for marketing. But you are right is an LCD panel with LED light around the edges of the panel. Theres only one TV I believe is by samsung as well, but is around 4k. Thats the closest you get to true LED because the edges and all of the back panel is LED lit. For those who dont know OLED (Organic LED) are the TVs replacing the pixels from your LCD with real LEDs. Its hard and pricey, as pricey as a 11" screen of OLED is close to $2,500
