    VIZIO VX42LHDTV10A...no sound

    I have replaced the output ic (U31) but I still have nothing. All else works fine. I have tried to trace down the audio path, but the print is really a joke. I have Vcc on the 2 inputs from an outline of the IC (TDA8946AJ). I have nothing on the scope at the L/R inputs, but I can touch the inputs using the old wet-finger method, and I get a hum, so it seems that the IC is working. .....one thought, though; there is a regulator Q27 that reads:
    I=11.58V
    o=12.2V
    Adj.=12.2V
    I need to work on my crossing/ subbing skills, but I can't find this part number anywhere on the net. The number on this reg. is C5886. If anyone could help, it would be appreciated. I just can't seem to get anywhere with this one. I know the voltages on this regulator are not right, but I don't know how to proceed with the toilet-paper schematics from Vizio.
    Also, I know some of these used a separate power supply for the audio, but this one doesn't have a stand-alone smps unless someone b4 me has really got me and good!

    TIA

    Do you get Audio output at the Red and White RCA jacks? Can we also see the pictures of your main board and the Q27?

      Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
      by Tynan Dill
      I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

      Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

      I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

      The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

      With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

      Assuming...

      Vizio M65-E0 No Picture, No Sound
      by ggil44
      Hi I inherited a Vizio M65-E0 that isn't working. It must have been dropped on the corner because I found that the infrared circuit had a capacitor with one end broken off of the board and some green corrosion around the plug to the main board. I re-soldered the capacitor and cleaned the corrosion well and tried turning the M65-E0 on and I was successful. My problem is that while the back lights come on and appear to perform local dimming there is no picture or sound. It kind of looks like you are looking at the TV through a very dense fog, where changing the input on the remote will change bright...

      Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB (Chassis SR) TV Repair Help - Distorted Subwoofer Sound and overall weird sound waveforms
      by LEECH666
      Good day ladies and gentleman!

      I am currently trying to repair a Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB LCD TV for a friend that has a weird audio problem. Basically everything works fine except for the heavily distorted sound when the Subwoofer module is connected and there is a buzzing sound coming from the PSU PCB.

      This seems to be a rather rare TV so there is not much prior on topic help to be found however a service manual is available at the usual sources (Electro Tanya i.e.).

      I think the PSU buzzing comes from one of the coils near the bridge rectifier but...

      vizio E60-E3 backlights, sound, no video
      by ajshoe
      Have a free Vizio E60-E3 pickup - sound and backlights work. set turns on and stays on for a period then cycles off and back on. NO VIDEO. If I remove left side (from front of TV) of TCON cable - set has pic on right side (from front of TV) with white screen on left side. With right side TCON cable disconnected - no pic on either side.
      Does this mean remove right side (from front of TV) tabs ?

      Like a second opinion before possibly destroying set....

      Marian Trace Alpha sound card repair help
      by Christos Tsiligiannis
      Hello to the forum.

      My name is Christos, I am new to the forum here and i am posting from Greece.

      So i have this old German sound card from Marian, called Trace Alpha. To be exact i have 2 of them and i use them professionally for my small FM radio station here. The first one works like a charm, but the second one does not work at all.

      To be more specific in the same exact pc with windows 7 (i even tried 32bit) the one works while the other doesn't.

      So i tried asking for a schematic from the company and they would not give me one. Instead they...
