Why am I not getting sound from my sound bar?

If you’re using an analog connection, make sure the TV volume is turned up. If the TV’s analog audio output is set to “variable” and you’re getting no sound from the soundbar, try turning the TV’s volume up. If the TV is turned down all the way, you’ll hear no sound even if the soundbar is set to full volume.

How do I get my soundbar to play sound?

1. Connect one end of the HDMI cable (sold separately) to the HDMI IN port on your TV.

When there is no sound from the soundbar, make sure the connected devices are turned on, the soundbar is set to the correct source, and the cable is connected properly. We will troubleshoot the issue, but first, we need to know what type of setup you have.

Can a sound bar be used with a TV?

Ideally, your TV or soundbar would offer a negative delay, sending the audio a few milliseconds earlier (or the video a few milliseconds later). Many devices I’ve tested—including the LG TV, Vizio TV, Vizio soundbar, and Samsung TV I own—do not allow adjustment in both directions, which makes the feature all but useless against audio delay.

What to do when your sound bar is out of sync?

Unfortunately, many TVs and soundbars only allow you to adjust it in one direction: delaying the audio. But if your audio is out of sync because the audio is behind the video—i.e. already delayed—delaying it further obviously won’t help.

Why does my sound bar keep lip syncing with my TV?

In my experience, this lip sync problem is most common when sending audio from your TV to your soundbar using HDMI ARC or optical out. Your TV sends the audio to the soundbar, the soundbar takes a moment to unpack the signal, and sends it out after the corresponding video has reached your eyeballs.
