Imagine watching your favorite TV program without hearing any sound or being able to adjust the sound to your desired taste. We can both agree that it’s an awful experience. All TVs can develop problems like this, and the Vizio TV is not left out. If your Vizio TV volume is having problems, this article will educate you on how to tackle the situation.
Why can’t I hear any sound on my Vizio TV?
You may not hear sounds on your Vizio TV for several reasons. Some of which are;
- The volume is on mute.
- There is a problem with the input function
- Bad cable wiring
- Software is out of date.
- Hardware issues
How do I fix the volume problem on my Vizio TV?
1. Check to see if the remote control is working
If the remote isn’t working correctly, you might assume there’s a problem with the TV. The TV may be good, but the remote isn’t. It’s best to check if your remote is causing the problem by turning on your TV and pressing the remote volume functions. If it isn’t working, it’s time to get a new Vizio remote. For now, you can control your Vizio tv without a remote using our guide.
2. Make sure that the TV volume settings is not on mute
Check your audio settings to see if the mute option is turned on your TV. If it is not turned on, move to the next step below.
3. If the television volume is set to zero or muted, make sure it isn’t
Following confirmation that the television is not muted, you must ensure that the volume is adjusted above zero on the TV’s controls. If the television volume has been increased, and there is still no audio response, proceed to the following step.
4. Ensure that the HDMI cable is functioning correctly
The use of a broken HDMI cable may be to blame if your television is showing video but not sound when connected to an external device through an HDMI connection. To receive the signals from these peripherals, an HDMI cable is required.
Video and audio codings are used to transmit these signals. Audio encoding issues might lead a TV to fail to play any sound at all. It’s possible that the cable is to blame rather than the television. To determine if the HDMI cable has a problem try using a new cable.
5. Verify that the volume on the Satellite Box is above zero
If you’re using a cable or satellite box, check if the volume is set higher than zero in the interface settings.
In this case, your cable box provides the video and audio signals that are subsequently transmitted through the television, which may appear unusual if you are unfamiliar with television settings.
When your cable box’s volume control is set to zero, the cable box tells your television not to play any sound.
6. Check if SAP or MTS is enabled on your TV
SAP stands for Secondary Audio Programming. You can listen to the broadcast in a language other than the original by using SAP, a second audio stream included with the TV show.
You can quickly turn off SAP if you prefer to listen to the show in its original language. Popular labels for the TV audio menus include SAP, AUDIO SELECT, B-AUDIO, MTS, MS, or MENU.
Start your Vizio TV by pressing the remote’s “Menu” button. Choose “Audio” (or something similar) from your list of possible choices. Then select the SAP option (it may be named “MS”), then proceed. You can turn off the “On” setting. You may have to select “Stereo” or “Mono” from the menu, one of which will be SAP.
7. Verify if the headphone jack has been left plugged in
Weird as that seems, we’ll discuss it because it’s plausible. Ensure that no headphones are plugged into the port on your TV’s headphone jack.
While using your television, you may have accidentally left behind a headphone plugged in. Because sound signals are only being sent to the headset through this connection, your television’s sound system is disabled. Carefully, unplug your headsets and retest the sound on your television.
