Question:

What causes low TV volume and how can I fix it?

Answer:

Low TV  volume is often caused by: 

• A device that is not connected properly to the TV

• A  volume control on an external device that is turned down.

The most common problem is the second one. If this is the case, you usually hear a hiss from your TV's speakers when you turn the volume up.

How to Raise the Volume of a Device Connected to Your TV

To raise the volume, follow these steps:

1. Turn the volume on the TV down to a reasonable level (around 15).
2. Press [Volume Up] on the connected device (not the remote) until it is all of the way up.
3. Adjust the TVs volume to meet your requirements.

 Important: If you do not turn the volume on the TV down before adjusting the volume on the device you have connected to it, you could blow the speakers in the TV.
