Abstract

The present application provides a method for configuring a television audio format, a method for transparently transmitting audio and a television, where the method for configuring the television audio format includes: acquiring information regarding an audio format supported to be decoded by an external audio playing device; judging whether EDID information pre-stored in the television includes the information regarding the audio format supported to be decoded by the external audio playing device; if not, supplementing the EDID information with the information regarding the audio format supported to be decoded by the external audio playing device, where the supplemented EDID information is configured for a set top box connected to the television to determine whether to transparently transmit audio data or not based on the supplemented EDID information. The present application can avoid a loss in a tonal quality and improve a tonal quality effect of playing.
