Resolved Question

No sound out of Samsung TV apps to sound system

May 15, 2017 8:59AM PDT

Hello,

I have a Samsung Smart TV. Sound comes out of optical cable, converts into analog signal, and into the sound system. The problem is that I get no sound when I tried to use Netfilx, YouTube or any other video app. However, I do get sound when I use Pandora radio application. It seems that only video apps. have issue with sound output. (P.S. TV channels do have sound through the sound system. And when I use my Samsung remote control to move between different applications and settings I do get that system sound. Only the video applications on TV do not have sound.)

Any thoughts?

Same here.

In both the TV and the Netflix app I had to select PCM or Stereo to get sound working. As such menus are not standardized I can only write this and not a step by step.

I think I tried it, I'm not sure. I will give it a shot and see what happens.

Thanks.
