Have you ever looked at the cable out of your wall socket? Just a single coax...so where's the sound??? on the coax!!! I don't know about yours, but my cable decoder box has a single coax out, which is connected to the TV. And miraculously, the TV has sound!!! Please don't try to make me sound like an idiot, when you don't know what you are talking about...As for why I would want to run the cable signal out to an AV preamp, it's so I can watch one channel while recording another, which you CANNOT do with a cable box decoder, unless you have a cable A/B switch on a splitter, which is probably degrading the picture quality more than the AV pre-amp would (currently using cheap A/B switch now...)
