You say it works ok but when the volume is low it hums. This could happen if the volume is set too high on one of the equipment. Either the sound bar or the tv. Try turning both to low, then just turn up the sound bar volume. See if the humming goes away.

    As soon as I hook up the sound bar it controls the volume so both the tv and the sound bar can be all the way down and it makes a hum

Confusing question. You say it works and then it hums? Can you rewrite your question.

  • Noah clodfelter Dec 01, 2014

    The humming sound is constant almost like a feedback sound

SOURCE: Vizio Sound Problem

I've seen the same problem, went thought a couple of cable boxes. Turned out to be an AC line problem. Try plugging the TV into a different out, maybe in another part of the house.

SOURCE: New Samsung Tv High pitched hum

Don't know if people are still having this issue or not but figured I'd post what i went through to help anyone that has. My LN-T3253H tv as out of warranty when I finally got around to calling Samsung. They flat out lied about the commonality of this problem and I convinced them to at least pay for any parts. Problem is the labor of a technician would be around $150. So, I bought the new power supply from Partstore.com for around $70. Just go to partstore.com and enter your model number and look for the power supply on the page. It took 3 days to get the part. It was very easy to replace. All you have to do take off the back cover of the tv (think there were around 12 screws all around the outside and one where the A/V connections are and pull off. Unhook the plugs going to the power supply and the four screws holding the board and then replace with the new board. So far, this fixed the issue. Keep your old board in case it starts happening again. You can probably have the old board repaired to fix the original problem since so many TV repair shops are aware of the issue. I am trying to find out from someone which specific capacitor or other piece is causing the issue and plan on fixing it myself. If and when I do, I will also post that.

Make sure you give Samsung a ton of grief when you speak to them and see if they lie to you also. I had just bought two of the new Samsung LED TV's for my media room. They work great but I returned both because of Samsung's refusal to fix my LN-T3253H and I will never, ever buy Samsung products again.

SOURCE: Polaroid FLM-323B LCD TV with no sound

Just finished reading other posts. Solution that has fixed my problem. Unplug power cord for 1/2 hour. Now, I have sound. That explains why my sound came back the last time. Not Global Vol. Unlock!

Design flaw!

SOURCE: Audio Out Fixed/Variable

Is your subwoofer amplified or passive?

You clearly understand that you need to use a variable line out to control the subwoofer volume via the TV. As the setup seems reasonable, I'm wondering if the subwoofer is getting a signal, but that it is at line-level and not internally amplified by the subwoofer speaker. Generally, if the subwoofer must be plugged into an AC socket in the wall, it has an internal amplifier and can be fed line-level audio. If it is "passive", it has no amplifier, and it must receive an amplified signal (over speaker wire) from an amplifier (or integrated receiver). TV's don't generally have connections to send out an amplified signal.

If the subwoofer is indeed amplified, then this is obviously not the problem, but it's the first thing to verify given the information provided.

How to lower internal volume on tv

You can't but you can get round it. We have the same problem at work.
You have to stop using the internal speakers and buy a sound bar instead that provides more control.
There are a couple of ways of wiring a sound bar and the cheapest ones plug into the external/headphone socket and others plug into the coax, or component connections.

How do you hook up a sound bar too a westinghouse TV

Usually on newer westinghouse tv's the only audio output on the tv is the headphone jack so you will need to buy a 3.5 mm stereo to rca converter and use that instead of the rca cables provided with the sound bar.

Low volume output and very low volume when digital broadcast

if you are using a digital converter along with a standard tv , you have one volume level low making the unbalance sound a humming sound, if it is directlly into your tv, check your settings on your tv bass, trebile, by the sound of it you probably have a digital converter , if this is so, raise the volume of your TV to mid point that raise /lower your volume on the converter and it should be fine, also make sure your ouput channel is not the same as your broadcast channel in your area, example,,if your area uses channel 3 for broadcast, set your rf output to chann 4 , and vice versa.

Purple and Green hum bars?

You could have a drain on your AC (120) causing the hum bars in your set . Best thing to try is to reduce what you have plugged into your 120v outlet . One of your unit could have a capacitor going bad in its power supply causing the hum bars . Even if it is not turned on. Try one unit at a time . if you find out it one of your units they make what is called a line conditioner which filters out these hum bars . Good luck

Westinghouse LTV-32w4 HDC - adjustment buttons unresponsive, volume drop, etc.

plug your cable connection to a vcr "in" then run a seperate cable cord from the vcr "out" to your television (which should be on channel 3 or 4) depending on your vcr setting and use the vcr to control the channel so when your westinghouse freezes and becomes unresponsive you could still change the channel and so on through your vcr and tv acts like a monitor works for me. N.B be sure to set the volume and so on before it freezes which could be like a 1min window from turning your tv on
