Manufacturer-documented Reviewed 2026-11-09 · Revision 1
Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
TV app/tuner audio with verified eARC wiring and TV settings.
Connection scope: HDMI / ARC / eARC audio. Symptom: There is no playback sound.
This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.
If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
Checks and possible outcomes
Start at step-0. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.
step-0
Does the exact television documentation confirm eARC on the connected TV port?
An ordinary HDMI input or unknown return capability stops here.
Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.
- If Yes / confirmed → Is the installed cable in receiver OUTPUT1 eARC and that TV eARC port?
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

Inspect labels without changing live wiring; OUTPUT2 is a different path.
Look for: Confirm the stated setup or observation. Unknown stops safely.
- If Yes / confirmed → Are this TV return-audio/output settings already confirmed correct?
- If No / cannot confirm → Stop and retain the actual observations
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown
