HDMI Audio Not Working

JZX Stream original troubleshooting guide

Try the simple checks first. Restart the device, verify the connection or input, and test another app before making major changes.

What this guide covers

Troubleshoot missing audio from an HDMI source.

Step-by-step troubleshooting

1. Confirm the cable, accessory or connection is fully seated and the correct TV input is selected.

Complete the check, then test the original problem again.

2. Disconnect the affected device or accessory for a moment, then reconnect it.

Complete the check, then test the original problem again.

3. Try another compatible input, cable or source when available to isolate the problem.

Complete the check, then test the original problem again.

4. Restart both the TV and the connected device.

Complete the check, then test the original problem again.

5. If the problem follows one accessory while other sources work, investigate that accessory's compatibility or support documentation.

Complete the check, then test the original problem again.

Before you reset anything

A factory reset can remove accounts, apps, settings and network information. Treat it as a later option rather than the first troubleshooting step.

When the problem is only one app

Test another streaming service. If other services work, the issue may be limited to the affected app, account or provider. Update or restart the app and use its official support process if needed.

Frequently asked questions

Should I factory-reset my TV first?

Usually no. A restart, connection check, app update or input check is less disruptive. A factory reset should be a later option after you understand what it will erase.

What if I still cannot fix it?

If the basic steps do not solve the problem, note the TV/device model, app name and exact error message before seeking additional help.
