HDMI devices: Video but no sound

[metro2012]

all of a sudden, my hdmi devices (sat, bluray, etc) play video but no sound, they worked before. i unplugged and plugged hdmi cables, switched cables, etc but it doesnt seem to work. audio works on normal tv so i know it is not the tv. 3 cables ive tried and none of them work. what can be wrong?

how is your hardware connected? bluray player directly to tv? could be the ports that are malfunctioning

It's pretty hard for us to say with the limited amount of info we have to work with, but it probably has something to do with the HDMI settings on your TV. Spend some time playing in there and see if you can figure out what happened.

With all the features and crap on TVs these days, all it takes is one accidental button press on the remote and everything gets screwed.

Or worst case the HDMI ports have partially shorted out, though that doesn't seem logical since video works.

could just be the part the receives the audio signals that shorted out sense he's having the problem every now and again but fixed it by unplugging and plugging the cable back in

it's sounding like some not so good news though

one question: Do you use a HDMI splitter box? if you do and you're lucky it's just that going bad

if not then it's most likely the HDMI port on your TV starting to go bad

im scared its the hdmi ports on my tv. but there are strange things. since i have posted this, it still doesnt work. my bluray only shows video but no audio and my sat doesnt show video or audio. ive also changed them to all of the back 4 ports i have and the side port. same case for each device.

does it indeed sound like my tv?

Try them on a different tv if you can so that you can eliminate some options from the problem area.

they replaced the sat. the sat works on all ports but the bluray only works on hdmi port 4 (none other).

i still say its the tv but if they dont want to replace it with the warranty their problem.
