I have a 36 inch VIZIO flat screen tv, and the sound is wonky. It goes from blasting to whispering on its own. Any ideas?

Our went funny so we did a reset which helped. Everything has a processor nowadays and they sometimes go wrong. Ours was a simple question of powering off, disconnecting the mains, waiting a minute and then powering up again. Yours may be different so see if it is the manual or on the web.

Cheers

Dave

Go into software sound settings and experiment with them but may be a loose connection to the processor

We now have to retune our set every single time we turn it on. It takes forever. I've no idea why. Reminds me of 'warming up the valves' on the old radio my parents had.
One of the problems with sound quality is the fashion of playing music continually during any programme. Even erudite documentaries have to have 'backing music' (scary, or sad piano tinkling etc) as if we're incapable of manufacturing our own emotional response to what's going forward on the screen. The result is that normal speech is muffled and indistinct. (I hasten to add, although I'm falling to pieces in almost every way, my hearing/eyesight/teeth seem to be in perfect order!)

I hate that incessant drumming in the background. When it gets too annoying I switch channels

Now I have a few channels that it sounds like the dialog is stuttering.

As my husband prefers his laptop to the TV and plugs himself in to listen to African music, I often turn the TV sound off and half-heartedly watch the nice pictures. Much less stressful. And I can read at the same time. As far as I'm concerned, you can take your TV and stuff........ahem!

I find the mute generally works very well :-)

Do you also find controlling the unpredicable dynamic range of quiet sounds versus random sudden outbursts of the very loud,
can also be quite problematic
when trying to surreptitiously watch porn while the wife has just gone upstairs to bed ?

Moral - watch porn WITH the significant other. Now where can I get a huge screen TV light enough to mount over the bed, cheap?
