We were quite pleased with the quality of audio produced by the Samsung LN46A750's speakers, it's better than many speakers we've seen on TVs. The simulated surround sound did not impress us, however.

Sound Quality (7.0)
The Samsung LN46A750's speakers actually produce better than average sound quality for TV speakers. We detected more depth with a good amount of detail in the audio quality, not up to surround sound standards, but better than what you might expect from built-in speakers. For this test we listen to a standard sequence from a movie to judge the audio quality.
Surround Sound (3.0)
The Samsung LN46A750 has a simulated surround sound mode, as most modern TVs do. With this feature turned on we noticed more depth from the audio, but lost detail in the process, for example the conversation in a busy scene was significantly more difficult to hear. When we hooked up even a cheap surround sound setup we got even more depth, but with much more detail than the Samsung LN46A750's simulated surround sound provided. Once again we have to recommend that if you want surround sound you are far better of going out and spending even a little bit of money on a set of speakers than depending on the TV's simulated surround sound setup.
Loudness (8.59)
To test how loud the Samsung LN46A750's speakers get we use a sound pressure meter from a range of five feet with the sound on the TV turned up to maximum. Using a standard signal the Samsung LN46A750's speakers were able to produce 85.9 decibels. This is about average for a television, and certainly loud enough to deafen anyone who tries to listen at this volume level. Loudness should not be a problem with the Samsung LN46A750.
