RCA F36685 No audio on cable channels

I have an RCA television which suddenly produced no sound. Actually I only have sound coming through one channel and static through the others. I get sound when playing video games. One channel warned that the television was set to SAP and offered advice how to change it, to no avail. All the channels are currently set to SAP and I cannot turn it off, even by following the instructions. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Insignia 55e560a11 connect to Polk sound bar. Using stereo audio cables in out video plugs on side of tv to insignia hdmi to rca converter to hdmi outlet on sound gar. no sound

Depending on the age of the TV, I have found that the RCA sockets on TV's will NOT produce an audio out signal. Since they were not designed to do so.
If the TV has an HDMI then that can be converted to produce the left and right channels. But if it has not got an HDMI, it should have and SCART socket, which will also produce the left and right channels.

I have it setup on my Samsung TV with RCA cables, but no sound comes out

Why do you need to use RCA cables as a TV will produce sound through the internal speakers without any cables required.

I have an RCA 36"

Hi, in most of these RCA TV, we found a common problem with that strange sound.
You need electronics skills to solve this problem. The sound coming from the TV ( back cover), caused by a faulty transformer T14401 location number, part number 241319, also a transistor horizontal output is shorted need be replaced. location Q14401 part number, part number 237470. This is a difficult and you may have to find a tv shop and ask for a previous estimate of money. I hope all this clear in my explanation and if you have further questions, I'll be here to help.

Sound Fades, then TV shuts off then continues to recycle on & off

Sometims several capacitors start going bad giving you the audio problem, but I don't remember the set turning itself off. That could be a secondary problem around the flyback transformer which may have a bad solder connection. I would check that first. Otherwise, I would be tempted to go with HDTV.
