Yes, the sound isn't great and if you care about sound at all you'll want something better. When I bought the TV, Best Buy was selling a Vizio sound bar with great sound for just $100-ish and it was beautiful. Just be sure the sound syncs to your remote or you'll be juggling two remotes all the time. I finally had to give up the Vizio and get a home theater surround sound system, but I needed a new Blu-Ray player anyway so it wasn't that much of a problem.
