Why is the soundbar not working on my Sony TV?
I hooked up a different soundbar which also wasn’t very loud. I chatted with Sony support and we fixed the loudness problem by resetting the tv back to the factory defaults. The new soundbar also turns on by itself even after resetting the tv.
What should I do if my sound bar is not working?
Try and keep the cable clear of other connectors, especially power, in the tangle of wires behind your TV. Simply moving the 3.5mm cable can sometimes solve this issue. If this doesn’t solve the problem, make sure your TV volume is turned all the way up so you can adjust the sound bar’s volume directly.
How can I Reset my Sony sound bar?

What kind of sound bar does a Sony TV use?
