Check your TV's mute setting and volume: It's possible they were accidentally changed. Inspect external connections and cables to ensure they're properly connected. If you use external speakers or a soundbar, verify their power and settings. Restart your TV and connected devices to reset any potential software glitches. Access the TV's audio settings to confirm the correct audio output is selected. If these steps fail, a factory reset or professional service might be required.
