Why does my Surround Sound keep cutting out?

Why does my Surround Sound keep cutting out?
The sound cuts in and out intermittently from one or more speakers. Verify the speaker wires are properly connected to both the speakers and the A/V receiver. Turn off any nearby electronic devices that may be interfering with the speaker sound. Move the speaker wires away from any electrical cords.
What to do if your surround sound is not working?
If not, the audio will be very difficult to hear using a Surround Sound setting. Set Surround Sound to OFF when playing a source that is not encoded with a Surround Sound signal. Check each speaker to make sure they are properly connected to the A/V receiver. Perform a Test Tone function to verify if the speakers are working correctly.
Why does my audio make weird noises when I Turn Up the gain?
Note: Some noise is inherent, such as tape hiss, or hiss when you turn up the gain on an input. It’s part of the equipment, and the only cure is generally better equipment. The number-one cause of unusual audio noise and weird video is the ground loop, simply because it’s so darned easy to create.
How to troubleshoot if there is no sound or intermittent?
Make sure the MUTE function has not been activated. Try turning up the volume level. Check that there are no headphones connected. Check if the issue also occurs to other device connected to the TV. You may try to changing the TV channel or play back a movie on a DVD player. Try different cables to verify this is not a bad set of cables.
Why do I get a buzzing sound from my guitar?
One thing you could check for, though it’s mostly an issue in high-impedance (higher gain/voltage, aka Hi-Z) applications, such as with guitar cables, is that they aren’t microphonic. Poor, or loose shielding and other factors can actually turn physical shocks into audio signal.

Why is there no sound from my sound bar?
When there is no sound from the soundbar, make sure the connected devices are turned on, the soundbar is set to the correct source, and the cable is connected properly. We will troubleshoot the issue, but first, we need to know what type of setup you have.

Why is my Dolby sound not coming out?
If only one channel is missing sound or there is sound distortion, it may resolve on its own in a few minutes. Sometimes, Secondary Audio Programming (SAP) creates sound problems. If you’re listening to SAP Dolby Audio, try switching back to the primary language:
