Question

sound problem on Envision Tv

Oct 15, 2018 12:15PM PDT

my tv has no sound coming from the speakers, and i want to watch tv from the antenna. the only sound output is through a coaxial digital audio out. if i hook this up to a speaker with regualr rca cable, you can hear the tv cannel audio but it is very staticky. so i got a coaxial digital audio cable, and a digital to analog audio converter, and ran this into my speaker but theres no sound. i ran the coaxial digital audio cable from my dvd through the converter and i got sound from that. what can i do to get sound from my tv?

Sounds defective or in need of repair.

I don't see the year or full model number but the usual thing to try is a FACTORY RESET which might be in the product manual or in some cases you have to call and ask the maker.

the point is that theres staticy sound sound coming from the coaxial digital audio out using regular rca cables, but when i use the correct coaxial digital audio cable with the right ohm capacity i cant get any sound

That tells me it has failed in some way.

Too bad the reset didn't fix it. Given the name and age my bet is spare parts are not to be found. Another roadblock is that the makers stopped publishing schematics 2 decades or so ago. It sounds like it will be OK for a Monitor so it's not the end.
