Why is the sound on TV not working?

The TV is not muted. Under Audio or Audio Settings on the on-screen menu, TV Speakers is set to On. All of the cables physically connected to the TV and the input devices are secure. Switch to a different input device and verify there is sound from the TV speakers (for example, a DVD player or a gaming console).

Why does my Onkyo arc have no audio?

In order to fix it, I simply had to go into the receiver’s menus, turn RHID off, and back on again. But it has to be done in a specific order for it to work. 1. Go into Hardware Setup. 2. Select HDMI 3.

Contact onkyo and they should help you by fixing the broken part. Normally if its a onboard chip as i’m assuming it is, they are almost impossible to fix without expensive tools. Contact them and see what they can do, if they cant do anything, let me know and ill give you another option.
