Samsung’s a big fish in the TV pond. This South Korean bigwig has been ruling the TV manufacturing world for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their TVs are renowned for their top-notch picture quality, flexibility, and longevity. For instance, Samsung LED TVs are famous for keeping their maximum brightness going for over five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But hey, even champions have off days. One common snag is a Samsung TV with no sound<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I actually faced this problem with my own Samsung TV not too long ago. I spent my time scavenging through Samsung forums, binging troubleshooting videos on YouTube, and even dialing up Samsung’s customer support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, I managed to fix the problem, and in the process, I picked up a bunch of tried-and-true solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, I’m going to unpack the no-sound issue in Samsung TVs and share the steps that could sort this out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Clever Fix<\/strong>

Unplug your TV for about a minute. While waiting, get rid of any residual electrical charge by holding down the Power button for roughly 30 seconds. After a minute, plug your Samsung TV back in.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why does my Samsung TV have no sound?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most frequent culprit for your Samsung TV falling silent is system bugs. These digital critters can accumulate if your Samsung TV hasn’t been reset in a while or if it’s running outdated software.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there could be other suspects here. This includes hiccups in the audio settings, HDMI connection woes, and problems with your external device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I troubleshoot my Samsung TV with no sound?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before diving into the fixes, let’s first confirm that your Samsung TV is indeed quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Push the volume-up button to double-check your Samsung TV isn’t just on mute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re connected to an external device like a Blu-ray player or streaming stick, check its volume too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, ensure TV Speaker<\/strong> is chosen as your Sound Output. You can do this by pressing your remote’s Home button, heading to Settings > Sound > Sound Output, and selecting “TV Speaker”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Note: If you’re hooked up to an external speaker, make sure you’ve selected that as your Samsung TV’s Sound Output.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your Samsung TV still isn’t making a peep after these steps, don’t sweat it. Keep reading for several tested solutions that could untangle your problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I fix my Samsung TV with no sound?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Do a power cycle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your Samsung TV isn’t making any noise, do the Clever Fix (power cycle). Unplug it from the power source for a minute. While you’re waiting, press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds. After a minute, plug your Samsung TV back in.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’d be surprised, but a basic power cycle can bring the sound back to a silent Samsung TV. That’s because a lot of sound problems on a Samsung TV come from bugs piling up in its system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever wondered why bugs accumulate in a Samsung TV?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you turn off your Samsung TV (without unplugging it), it doesn’t shut down entirely. It simply dozes off in standby mode, which makes it easier for you to turn it back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, bugs start to gather when your Samsung TV isn’t entirely shut down or rebooted for a while. On top of that, residual electrical charges build up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This combo triggers quirky glitches, like a Samsung TV not turning on<\/a> or having no sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A power cycle (also known as a soft reset or a cold boot) drains the leftover power and gives your TV’s main board a fresh start. This process eliminates bugs and solves any potential glitches your TV might be facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also initiate a power cycle by pressing and holding your remote’s power button while your Samsung TV is on. Just wait for your TV to turn off and then on again.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the power cycle reboot, your Samsung TV’s sound should be back in the game. But if it’s still quiet, I’m pretty sure our next step will do the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Perform a Sound Test<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If the power cycle didn’t crack the case, your next ace in the hole is to run a Sound Test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samsung TVs come equipped with self-diagnostic tests that can help you pinpoint and possibly fix various issues your TV might be grappling with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Press your Samsung TV remote’s Home button, then tread over to Settings<\/strong>, followed by Support<\/strong>. From there, select Self Diagnosis<\/strong> and scroll down to kick off a Sound Test<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your TV will belt out a tune from its speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the song remains unheard or the diagnostic test uncovers a problem, it’s time to reset the sound on your Samsung TV. Here’s how you do it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
