    Westinghouse LTV-32w6 no sound except on one source

    I tried searching the forums for this model, but all I found were issues related to either power or no image and/or no sound. My issue is that sound works, but only on one of the input sources. Switching to the other sources works fine insofar as getting an image is concerned. However, there is no audio for any of the other inputs. Does anyone have an idea of what the problem may be?

    You can try doing a factory reset.

      I tried this and it had no effect.

        you might get more help if you provide a few more details about which source inputs / sources that you have tried.

          Will do. For inputs, the unit has composite/s-video (shared), two component, one antenna, one HDMI, and one VGA+headphone input. When I connect a device to the second component input set, I get both video and audio. However, when I connect the same device to the other component input, I only get video and no sound. The same applies to all the other input sources: video is there, but no sound. Specifically with the HDMI port, devices (like my XBox 360) detect the port as a DVI port (i.e. no sound) and not HDMI.

          I tested the ports with the same XBox 360 using both HDMI and AV cables. On another TV, everything (video and sound) works -- so I know nothing is wrong with the console.

          My suspicion is that whatever mechanism that is used to change the source of sound is broken. I.e. the sound works, but it won't switch to other input sources and is currently "stuck" on one of the component inputs.

            ugliest set manual and functions that I have ever seen... :-)

            what is your "autosource" setting. What is your system info for each source that you have tried?

              Haha no arguments here.

              what is your "autosource" setting. What is your system info for each source that you have tried?
              With autosource turned on, the TV automatically changes to the appropriate source when it is on, and there is a signal from that source. However, still only sound from the second set of component ports. With it off, I have to manually select the input source. And even still, no sound except for the second set of component ports.

              Testing with just the XBox 360:

              HDMI:

              Miscellaneous Info
              F/W Version: V3.02
              Micro Version: V021

              Source/Channel Info
              Source Type: HDMI
              RF Band: -

              Audio/Video Stream Info
              Video Resolution: 1360 x 768
              Video Scan Type: Progressive
              Audio Type: -

              Component 2:
              (everything same as above, including missing audio type, except)
              Source Type: Component

              Just want to add that I appreciate you taking the time to help trouble-shoot.

                Re: Westinghouse LTV-32w6 no sound except on one source

                ok... thanks for the additional info. Not sure what to say outside of, do you have any electrical test equipment / meter to check things out. Note that the system info shows an HDMI type connection yet I think you mentioned a "DVI" detection at the xbox. What audio setting do you have at the xbox -> things like coding, channels, etc. I see in the manual that the hdmi is V1 which is pretty old so that might be an issue.

                In terms of testing, you might keep to the component / audio area as these have "easier implementations" and then you can start checking things.

                The other thing, I think you misunderstood me about the "system" info. You need to provide those for ALL inputs (including over the air) so you can check against things that are and aren't working. Related to that, does over the air work?


                NOTE***** further look at your system info. Your resolution setting is "no good". That resolution is a computer setting not for this TV and as a result, it thinks you are using a computer which then is likely a "dvi" (ie. no audio).
                One other question: which curbside did you find this set on... :-)
                related to this... was the xbox ever connected via a dvi connector to a display at any time... and have you tried resetting it? NOTE there are some "odd" / old posts of this type of problem with xbox360. I would say your problem is with xbox for the hdmi... get another device to test with... beg / borrow / steal a cheap dvd player.

                  I will delve deeper this weekend. That said there are so many cheap (free, even) TVs on Facebook Market that I may just junk it and get a used one for my kids to play on. I’m mostly here to see if there is anything to learn about fixing this thing.

                    Re: Westinghouse LTV-32w6 no sound except on one source

                    well it is likely fixable. The one problem is likely a setting problem on the xbox and the other problem with no audio (on the component vid) is likely a problem with input board which needs to be electrically looked at... both learning experiences... :-)

                      what i went through dealing with my mobo with dead onboard sound!
                      by ChaosLegionnaire
                      so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!! what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol!

                      i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing...

                      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...

                      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...
