Samsung TV Sound Problems: HDMI Troubleshooting Guide

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a digital connection standard that supports audio, video, and control signals.
It was developed between 2002 and 2003 by Hitachi, Panasonic, Philips, and Silicon Image.
Although HDMI has been widely adopted, it suffers from a few problems, like HDMI sound problems.
These problems usually arise because the HDMI connections are defective or because the audio/video signal is not compatible.

• If you are having sound problems with your Samsung TV, it could be due to a faulty HDMI cable.
• Try using another HDMI cable to see if this fixes the issue.
