Sound issue on one channel only

Often the root of such a common problem is the sound mixing at the transmission end - too many people today believe louder is better, though I am not sure if it is a fashion or a disease.

The set up of the tv or radio often doesn't help matters due to the average sound reproduction of such being biased to enhance midrange frequencies and up - the sort of typical crowd/applause noises that doesn't give commentators much of a chance.

Listening via hifi would give a chance to adjust the filters especially if there is a graphic equaliser.

hi i don't know if this will work go into the menu on the tv look for noise reduction turn it off or check your sound settings hope it helps

do you have a center channel speaker hooked up? Most voices come through the center channel. I would imagine the surround processor would put the refs on the center channel.

Go to your set up menu, navigate to speaker set up and check your sound levels to front, center, and rear channels. Adjust as needed to fit the room. My Sony has a test tone option which sends a signal (at levels selected) to each speaker to check sound level and if speaker is connected and in right place.

on some dvd players and surround sound systems have a thing called DRC (dynamic range compression) you can us that and it will help it a little. i have come across the same problem but im after a digital on to run with plex or vlc on a mac. im having to route it through protools to use a compressor on there, but thats eating my resources.

hello to ensure your`re having good sound. hook up in other way not using hdmi cables,the background noise usually indicating a good carrier frecuency but no clear check good cables,not pinched,broken or if it has radio the air antenna or fm....if you got good sound now use the hdmi cables and take a close look in the connector if all pins are good at each end saludos

My Direct TV has no sound or picture but does show channel info at the top. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you, everyone! I thought maybe I was losing my mind. I can hardly watch a lot of the TV shows anymore due to the inappropriate use of music -- either it's too loud or there's just too darned much of it. Come on, TV producers! You are supposed to get better with time, not worse! Thank goodness I'm not alone.

hi, first u will have to determine if the center output is bad or the cntr speaker is bad, to do so do not disable the center, simply remove the speaker wires and check if there is noise, if not means speaker is bad, if still noisy then output is bad,u will then need a technician to get the job done.. letr me know..
