No audio on a hln617wx/xaa

Check whether the audio is muted by accidental press at remote control button. Enter its sound menu, and check it. If muted, as you know there will be no audio output. If not muted, check the speaker/s. If found OK; check and replace the damaged component/s at its audio output section circuit board. If needy, replace this board as card basis.

click start control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers make sure you have selected the
(((appropriate speakers))) also audio you will find 3 drop down lists make sure you have the correct settings there
hope this help you

f you are using Cable, DSS, or FIOS, etc, check the audio output from the box in Audio settings menu. make sure you don't have "Bitstream" selected most common audio connections are PCM (digital optical) Coaxial (single audio RCA) or HDMI with audio passthru. If those settings are correct, check the Audio settings on the TV and on the AV equipments Audio input. If you still have an issue, post a reply/comment listing all your equipment's model #'s and I can help you further.

If one speaker is not working, then the chances are its either the Speaker itself or one of the two wires. Speakers and replacement wires with the JST connector are now available. If the glasses power up, make the THUMP sound and power down Its the battery, same if they only last a short time. Most faults are Battery, Sweat Damage, or damaged ribbon cable.

One way would be to connect one of the the digital audio outputs to the HT as an input (HDMI or optical digital audio).


Another would be to select one of the DSP modes that uses surround speakers. They work with all input modes.

I am having the same problem. The configuration app shows that the correct device is playing, but there is no sound, except for a constant thumping on the bass.

Did you ever find problem. This is what mine is doing. I'm going to replace color wheel.

Most speakers are mains powered (either plugged directly into a wall socket, or maybe using a 12volt adaptor), and inside the speakers will use a small amplifier circuit. These circuits are prone to often going faulty and may lose one speaker or both, so instead the speaker will then only play the sound as it gets it from the PC (or hifi etc.).

Audio to speakers is not sent in a 'loud' form, but is instead just a very high quality weak signal that must be amplified to be heard. Typically a PC sound output may be just .5 to 1.5 volts only, just enough to work a set of headphones but nothing much more.

I suggest checking your speakers on another item, such as a CD player or hifi that definatly works, and if its the same, its most likely the 'amp' gone faulty. It's not really worth fixing as they usually only break in cheaper types of speakers - so its as easy to just buy another set.

If they work OK on other devices, maybe check these things:

Is the volume up on the computer ? Check on the volume icon on the taskbar, and also if its a laptop check its not got a volume dial that has been accidentaly turned down/off.

Test the computer with other speakers, to just narrow down the fault.

Some PC's have several output sockets at the rear (or front), so make sure you have it plugged in to the correct socket - even if you have used it before, some PC's software can actually change what comes from each socket, so your MIC socket could now have become your SPEAKER socket, or other settings may have been changed by other software.

Check your operating system is not using a 4 speaker setup instead, and sending the sound to non-existent rear speakers/woofers/tweaters. My own PC has 8 outputs, so I make sure nothing alters my settings or i'd never hear it again ;)

Its also possible for the PC audio chip to go faulty, but that is very very rare. If nothing else works & the speakers are known working ones, you may have to try a new sound card.

Remember that plugging the standard 3.5mm stereo jack plug into the wrong sound card socket will not cause harm, you may just hear a loud 'THUMP' or click as the power goes across.

One last thing is, try reinstalling your audio drivers. PC operating systems can lose driver functions and do any possible thing you can imagine. It may be as simple as a reinstall to wake up the audio card again.

Good luck.

my speakers died some time ago, it wasn't worth fixing, went to a component 5.1 speaker setup. good luck.

You need to check your ground connection. If there is a bad ground there will be feedback to the amp and it will just sit there and loop back with the Thump, Thump, Thump sound. I had to wire my amp's ground all the way back to the negative battery terminal. It was a pain but I have never had a problem since :)
