The audio quality of the Samsung PN50A760's built-in speakers is decent and the simulated surround sound mode can improve it a bit. We did note that the speakers aren't as loud as other televisions and if you care about audio quality we still recommend you invest in a real surround sound speaker setup.

Sound Quality (6.0)
The quality of the Samsung PN50A760's speakers is reasonable for an HDTV. If you're fine with television audio and don't want anything impressive you'll likely be fine with the built-in speakers.
Surround Sound (5.0)
Like most televisions the Samsung PN50A760 offers a simulated surround sound mode. We found that turning this feature on can improve the sound quality in some situations. There was more depth to the sound without giving up the ability to hear things like dialog. That said it's still nowhere near as good as the quality you can get from even an inexpensive set of real surround sound speakers. If audio is really important to you we recommend you invest in such.
Loudness (7.44)
We measured the loudness of the Samsung PN50A760's speakers at 74.4 decibels. This is a bit lower than the average, but it should still be plenty loud for most viewing environments.
