DVT216 Audio Problem: No sound at all

Then it is not so fine. The player has a Video and Audio reader section and one may work without the other. If the heads audio fails to receive a signal it will not transmit the audio signal out to the speakers. Replace or get a new unit.

It could be a relay that burnt out, they usually dont show any signs of damage, or the motherboard could be fried too with no signs of damage eather! Hope this helps!

you may have blown out the speaker or there is a miscommunication between the laptop and the woofer

You have a bad amplifier section and your unit will need to be repaired by a technician. I would disconnect the speakers to prevent possible damage. In some cases components in line with the transistors will be bad in the amplifier also. There is no way to tell without electrically testing the unit in shop. Estimated repair cost would be in the 60 to 80 dollar range depending on the number of parts that are bad and the labor rate in your area.

there is no unlock, safe mode allows you to correct the problem.

sounds like the digital input and the component input are casing inteference , try removing the component video and see what happens

Could be your head unit or the connection to the speaker may be bad. Also if the wire to the speakers in your ceiling is bare and touching any ground it would interfere. Start by checking connections by playing something and messing with wires. Listen for a difference. Next check by putting the wires that power those speakers in a known working output and listen for different quality

You have to download audio codecs for that matter. Go to this link:

Are you sure you have not done the volume mute.
Check for the speaker cable if the pin is correctly inserted in the speaker jack.
or try the method which is always handy . Go to Start + Programs + Accerories + System Tools + select System Restore , Remember you last heard the sound and restore .

Has anyone heard of something like this where the cable box/service is causing popping sounds? yes & it is common problem. And is this something I should be concerned about causing damage to the TV's speakers? not at all. The Sony tech-support representative (over the phone) diagnosed it further to a problem not with the TV but with the cable box/service because there were no popping sounds when I played a DVD on my Playstation 2 that is attached to the TV. they are right that your problem is not due to tv. it is due to cable box/service? yes but not defective it reqires to change the way you have connected tv to cable.please call tech to get it connected in such a way so that you do not get popping sound when you you put off cable box.
