1. Check your TV's audio settings:

If you're experiencing audio issues with your Sony TV, the first thing you should do is check the audio settings. Make sure that the TV is set to output audio to the correct source.

For example, if you're using an HDMI cable to connect to a sound bar, make sure that the TV is set to output audio to the sound bar. If you're using a receiver, make sure that the TV is set to output audio to the receiver.

2. Try a different HDMI cable:

If you're using an HDMI cable to connect your TV to a sound bar or receiver, try using a different HDMI cable. Sometimes, the cable can be the issue.

If you're using a sound bar, make sure that the sound bar is set to the correct audio input. For example, if you're using an HDMI cable to connect the TV to the sound bar, make sure that the sound bar is set to the HDMI input.

4. Check your receiver's audio settings:

If you're using a receiver, make sure that the receiver is set to the correct audio input. For example, if you're using an HDMI cable to connect the TV to the receiver, make sure that the receiver is set to the HDMI input.

5. Try a different audio input:

If you're using an HDMI cable to connect your TV to a sound bar or receiver, try using a different audio input. For example, if you're using an HDMI cable to connect the TV to the sound bar, try connecting the TV to the receiver using an optical cable. 6.

Tries tv unplug,replug it back like about an hour.By letting the tv by resetting itself back to the factory setting.Now goto the tv menu goto Audio Setting,go down to do resetting,so resetting the tv Tuner board for resetting sound,setting back to factory setting.This should solved ur sound problems.

Tries difference setting in the SOUND setting,see how it turn out.Like setting in Variable setting,instead of fix setting.Setting in MONO setting,istead of STEREO setting.

If the TV programs come's up with sound, then is possible that the TV set could be problem free. then cheek the system frequency if it need to be adjust from NTCS, PAL, AUTO MESECAM and so on. Cheek the DVD and VCR if they are in one of the following system settings and adjust the TV set to the settings at which the DVD or VCR is set to. Then you can also cheek if the cable is properly inserted, that is audio to audio and video to video. Nevertheless, if you have properlly connected your cables and set the system frequency to match with each other, and still no sound, then the TV could have sound problem.

Possible courses of sound failure in TV are as follows:-
1 RF stage
2 sound Ics or transistors
3 broken speakers
4 a break down resistor which supplie positive voltage to the sound curcult

Plug the TV to an open channel on your receiver via this output:
*Rear, 1 x Digital audio output (coaxial) ( TOSLINK )
This will look like a single RCA output plug.
Set that input channel on your receiver to some sort of virtual surround mode because it doesn't look like your HDTV has a decoder in it (meaning it will come out stereo and the receiver will have to fake it).
Turn the volume all the way down on the TV and use the receiver to control TV volume just as you do with DVDs.

*Substitute this with the digital audio output on your set top box if you are sending video only to the TV from the set top box (component, DVI or s-video connections). So video goes to the TV, audio to the receiver.

Did you change your TV input to DVD as well?
