Did you expect your cheese box to automatically sense the audio capabilities
of the tv set and the volume level currently set for the tv set?
I realize that things should "just work", but I think that it's much easier
to hook-up a video output than an audio one.
I tend to doubt that adjusting a user configuration would require opening
anything up, nor void any manufacturer's warranty.
Then, there's the wide variation in "standard" levels among audio devices
with unbal connections: even pure tuner (or CD player) makers have long had
an "audio level" adjustment to deal with the situation.

Some consumers do read and heed the 'No user-servicable parts inside'
warning lables. Not everyone is technically inclined or willing to risk
voiding the manufacturer's warranty by opening the box.
Also, this comes under the heading of something that 'should just work'.
