My optical output was working for months, after moving my TV and hooking it up to an older surround sound system. The PCM setting fixed this today! I don’t know what happened between last week, when I last watched this TV, and today…but…Thanks a million for making this video! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I was about to send an optical to RCA converter back to the seller because it did not seem to work. I would never have found the PCM setting without your video. You are my hero.
@@eliasdounias Yes. I don't need to switch to the optical output to get sound out through it. I just mute the tv speaker volume when using headphones. So I'm not sure what the purpose is to switch the audio setting to optical out.
Thank YOU! I needed my headphones to work to drown out Hallway noises in our apartment building. 😞 We ordered a new DAC unit, checked our headphones & cable. We were about to hire someone. The PCM was the problem we were having. Thank you SO much! I am truly greatful.
Spanish: compre un adaptador para mis parlantes por que mi televisor samsung no tenia el jack para audifonos. el adpatador funciono bien pero una vez entre a MAX o PRIME el audio salia defectuoso y solo me pasaba en esas aplicaciones por que en UA-cam y Spotify daban bien, una vez cambie a PCM todo empezo a funcionar bien muchas gracias eres un dios!!!! English: I bought an adapter for my speakers because my Samsung TV didn't have a headphone jack. The adapter worked fine, but once I entered MAX or PRIME the audio was faulty and it only happened to me in those applications because on UA-cam and Spotify it worked fine. Once I changed to PCM everything started working fine, thank you very much, you are a god!!!!
That’s awesome to hear you got it working with PCM! Super weird how it only messed up on MAX and PRIME, but hey, if UA-cam and Spotify are smooth, that’s a win. Glad the video helped you out!
Many thanks.. 😊 I replaced two dac converters and three optical cabels, to no avail, and appears it was only necessary to switch to PCM🤦.. Thank you!! you are my hero!! 😁
How is it that in the first 45 seconds of your video you managed to answer a question that the freakin' owner's manual failed to address. Epic fail on Samsung's part, you for the win!
Thanks a ton! Glad I could help where the manual didn't. It's kinda crazy how these things aren't always clear in the manuals, right? Stay tuned for more tips and tricks.
Thank you so much! For a long time I had been using my optical output to power a bluetooth adapter so I could use my bluetooth earbuds, then just a few days ago all I was getting was a dreadful static noise. I tried everything I could think of without success. With the aid of your video I went into the audio expert settings and for some odd reason the digital audio output had switched to Dolby Digital! Switching it back to PCM solved the problem. Thanks again.
I too was convinced my equipment was at fault, either the optical cable or the analog converter, but the problem was simply the PCM setting! Thanks again!
Thank you thank you thank you. I've been using a sound bar for a couple years, the power went out a couple weeks ago and the sound bar hasn't worked since. I just changed the PCM setting and that fixed it. Thank you.
Changing it to pcm seemed to work thank you for some reason my optical cable option doesnt work at all tho so i have to use the bluetooth setting with pcm option no more distorted staticy sound
Oh, that's a bit of a mystery, isn't it? Sometimes updates or glitches can mess with the settings, kinda like gremlins in the machine, haha. Glad you got your sound back though! Keep an eye on those settings, they like to take a walk sometimes.
Thank you so much. I didn’t even have to listen to the whole video to fix this when it got to the optical part and you go into settings. It was right there. I just switched it over to Tv speaker and it started working just fine.
Oh, that's awesome to hear! 😄 Glad the video helped you out even before finishing it. Those settings can be tricky sometimes, right? Enjoy the sound now that it's all set up.
Hey, good question! So, Auto mode and PCM are actually different things. In Auto mode, your TV tries to pass the audio in its original format, like Dolby Digital from Netflix. But if the TV or sound system can't handle that format through optical, it might not work. PCM, on the other hand, changes everything to a basic stereo format, which is why it works with most stuff. It's like a 'one size fits all' solution, but you lose the fancy surround sound
Absolutely, your soundbar should work fine even with a non-smart TV. If you're using an Android box with an HDMI cable to watch movies, just connect your soundbar to the TV's optical out. The soundbar will pick up the audio from whatever's playing on the TV, including stuff from your Android box. Just make sure the TV's set to send audio to the optical output.
Another question - I opted for optical output to be on always. It works with TV as intended but with HDMI eARC connected Sony Blu-Ray BDV-E690, it gives simultaneous output only for UA-cam app (LPCM - Dolby Pro Logic) but not for apps like Netflix and Prime where the output is already in 5.1 / Dolby Digital. Of course, this happens only in Auto mode. In PCM, mode, optical gives simultaneous output for all apps. The problem is the moment I switch from Auto to PCM, I lose the 5.1 channels and it's back to stereo with Pro Logic or DTS Neo. I don't understand why Optical dies on Auto / 5.1 mode?
When you set your Samsung TV to optical output on 'Auto', it tries to match the audio format it receives. So, for apps like Netflix and Prime, which use 5.1/Dolby Digital, the TV might not output through optical if it can't process these formats. But UA-cam, mostly using stereo (LPCM - Dolby Pro Logic), works fine. Switching to PCM mode makes your TV convert all audio to stereo, which is why optical output works for all apps. But yeah, you lose out on the 5.1 surround sound, getting only stereo. It's kinda weird that optical doesn't work in Auto when playing 5.1 audio. Maybe your TV or sound system has limitations with certain audio formats over optical? Might be worth checking the specs or getting in touch with Samsung or Sony support for more help.
Let me add that I've seen optical port failures in some older Samsung TVs. With the TV powered on and without *looking directly* into the SPDIF port on the TV, see if there's a "Red" laser glow from the port. If no red glow, unplug the TV for 20 seconds and re-plug the TV in. Try this step before doing a Factory Reset.
good point about the optical port issue. Checking for the red light's a smart move. If it's not glowing, unplugging and replugging the TV sounds like a solid first step. Definitely worth trying before jumping into a factory reset. Thanks for sharing that tip!
HI, I NEED HELP! TV Has Optical out and does shine a red light from the end but still no audio, the home entertainment system and speakers are hooked up correctly and tested on Bluetooth, radio, and USB all work and output audio. TV sound is set to Audio Out/Optical and formated for PCM. NO audio is coming out of the system at any volume but as soon as I change the TV to speakers it works, or if I connect the system to another setup it works. Optical cable is new out of the box. TV is a Samsung UN65NU7200F. Home system is a Rockville HTS56 5.1. Tested on a Roku TV and still no audio from the optical even though the light is visible out the end of the cord and with proper settings. NEED HELP!
Hey! Sounds like you’ve tried a bunch of stuff already, good job on that troubleshooting! Since the optical cable is new and works on another setup, it’s probably fine. It might be the TV’s optical out port that’s having issues. Have you tried a different optical cable just to double check? Also, resetting the TV to factory settings might help if it's a settings issue that’s not obvious. If it still doesn’t work, might be worth it to call Samsung support. They can be super helpful with these kind of specific problems. Hope this helps and you get back to enjoying your sound system soon!
thanks I did the diagnostic test and then advance setting I look the the thing and said no I do not use any sound bar I click on it and it seem to work. I will look for the pcm
Oh cool, glad the video helped ya out a bit! Yeah, diving into those advanced settings can be kinda tricky but sounds like you're on the right track. Going for the PCM option is a smart move, should definitely help with the sound issue. Keep tweaking those settings
my samsung cu7700 the control volume wont work while it's connected with optical cable. it displays on screen the volume icon but doesnt go up nor down. means i have to manually change it. Also it doesnt recognize my hometheather so i cant even set my control to control the hometheather.
Dang, that sounds frustrating! 😕 Maybe try unplugging and plugging back in? Or check if there's any software updates for your TV. Sometimes that helps. And for the hometheather, maybe it's not compatible? Just guessing here. Hope you figure it out soon! 📺🔊
@@hifiaudios8101 did the plugthing still wont work. As for the home, when i put the model the tv doesnt find it and it shows another model. Probably the one im using is way too old for the tv to know about it. Gonna do the update search thing, ty.
Hey, looks like your Samsung HW-H750 isn't working right. Maybe the audio settings need a check. Try adjusting the sound settings on the TV, and make sure the cable connections are all good. If that doesn't help, might be a problem with the soundbar itself.
Connect your soundbar to the TV using an optical cable. Go to your TV's audio settings and set the sound output to 'Audio Out/Optical'. On your TV, turn on 'Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC)' in the settings. This lets your TV remote control devices connected via HDMI. If your soundbar is connected via HDMI, make sure it's plugged into the HDMI-ARC port on your TV. If it's still not working, double-check that your soundbar is set to 'D.IN' mode (for optical connection) or 'ARC' mode (for HDMI connection).
Hey dude.... I've a doubt....i bought zebronics 7400 pro And my Samsung tv 50inch.... But dolby Atmos....is greyed out....and this function not available showing s
Sometimes Dolby Atmos gets greyed out if the audio output setting isn't compatible or the content doesn't support it. Try checking your TV's audio output settings and see if switching to a different mode helps. Also, make sure your Zebronics 7400 Pro supports Dolby Atmos. Hope this helps a bit!
Hey, sounds like the TV still thinks your headset's plugged in. Try goin to the sound settings on your TV and switch the output to TV speakers. Sometimes, unplugging and replugging the headset can also kick it back to normal. Hope this helps! 👍
@@hifiaudios8101 Thanks for your suggestion but I went to the settings and it didn't let me change the settings cause it pretended to be connected with the headset LOL
My soundbar will work for 5 minutes or so and then it automatically goes back to the tv audio. I have no clue what to do. I bought a new optical output cable too and still the same issue. Did the settings trick too but then it just resets itself or still continues to disconnect.
Since you've already tried a new optical cable and messed with the settings, it might be a good idea to check if there's some sort of auto-detect audio feature on your TV that's switching the sound back to the TV speakers. Sometimes TVs try to be smart but end up being a bit too helpful. Also, double-check the soundbar settings; there might be something there causing it to disconnect or go to sleep. If all else fails, reaching out to the customer support for your TV or soundbar could shed some light. They've probably seen this before.
Haha, happens to the best of us! Those little caps on the optical cables are sneaky little things. Glad you figured it out! Now you can enjoy the sound without any more hiccups
Hey, that sounds really frustrating! Sometimes these things can be a bit tricky. If it was working one day and then stopped, it might be a loose connection or something with the settings might've changed. Double check the optical connections are snug and not loose. Also, check if any settings on the TV or the Pioneer system got reset or changed. If you've tried that and it's still not working, maybe a power cycle (unplug and replug after a few minutes) might help reset things. Hope it sorts out soon!
My issue was that my mother did some cleaning and decided to do cable management, and that managed to squeeze my optical cable so there was no audio output. Luckily the cable was not damaged and taking t rubber band apart fixed them xd
oh man, that's kinda funny but glad it got sorted! Cable management can be a real pain sometimes, espically with those delicate optical cables. Good thing it wasn't damaged. Cheers for sharing your fix, might help others too!
Hey, that's pretty weird but it might be something with how the Game Mode messes with the audio settings. Check if your TV's audio output settings switch or change when you flip into Game Mode. You might need to adjust the settings for the other modes to match how it works in Game Mode.
Optical out typically doesn't support volume control from TV remotes because it sends a fixed audio signal. Samsung TVs are designed this way for simplicity and to ensure compatibility with various audio systems. If you need to adjust volume directly with the remote, HDMI ARC might be the better choice if your setup allows it. That lets you control the audio through HDMI which supports volume adjustments with the TV remote.
Try checking if your TV's audio settings have an option for external speaker control or something similar. Sometimes you gotta switch that setting to let the TV remote adjust the sound bar volume.
Ah, gotcha! Choosing 'TV Speaker' usually means the sound will come out from the TV's own speakers. If you wanna use the optical out for external speakers or sound system, you should select 'TV Optical'. Enjoy your streaming, and fingers crossed it all works out smooth for ya!
oh man, that's rough. have you tried checking the audio settings on your TV? sometimes it's set to the wrong output. also, maybe the optical cable's busted? try a different one if you can. good luck, hope it works out!
These tvs are shite! Cost me £220 and the sound is awful and I can’t get the optical to play through my soundbar. Samsung should be ashamed of their crap products
@@hifiaudios8101 yeah - thanks for trying to help. The Samsung tv I was referring to is the one one my deck and because it resides outdoors I bought the cheapest model. I did get it working using some of your basic info thank you
There is no self diagnosis on my tv and reset is greyed out/not functional. What now? I've tried everything else. I've called Samsung already with no help
Sometimes a firmware update can fix these kinds of issues. Check if there's an update available for your TV. If that doesn’t work, try unplugging it for a few minutes and then plugging it back in. If all else fails, maybe a factory reset using the remote might help.

i kno right? would be way easier with rca. think its cuz newer tvs are all about digital audio now. kinda miss the simple old days lol 😅
@@hifiaudios8101 thank you sir, I ordered a digital to analog audio converter. it worked once and stopped. smh I am going to try your suggestions.
Still didn't help. My sound bar works, but can't control the sound with my tv remote
Try checking if your TV's audio settings have an option for external speaker control or something similar. Sometimes you gotta switch that setting to let the TV remote adjust the sound bar volume.
Frustration resolved!
Mine said "TV Optical" or "TV speaker" Sooo...I figured a speaker would be nice. Ta-da! (SO far... now, back to try streaming)
Ah, gotcha! Choosing 'TV Speaker' usually means the sound will come out from the TV's own speakers. If you wanna use the optical out for external speakers or sound system, you should select 'TV Optical'. Enjoy your streaming, and fingers crossed it all works out smooth for ya!
did all those and no help
oh man, that's rough. have you tried checking the audio settings on your TV? sometimes it's set to the wrong output. also, maybe the optical cable's busted? try a different one if you can. good luck, hope it works out!
These tvs are shite! Cost me £220 and the sound is awful and I can’t get the optical to play through my soundbar. Samsung should be ashamed of their crap products
Useless -- my Samsung HAS NO SELF DIAGOSIS OPTION
Maybe try checking in the settings or manual? Sometimes manufacturers change menu options.
@@hifiaudios8101 yeah - thanks for trying to help. The Samsung tv I was referring to is the one one my deck and because it resides outdoors I bought the cheapest model. I did get it working using some of your basic info thank you
There is no self diagnosis on my tv and reset is greyed out/not functional. What now? I've tried everything else. I've called Samsung already with no help
Sometimes a firmware update can fix these kinds of issues. Check if there's an update available for your TV. If that doesn’t work, try unplugging it for a few minutes and then plugging it back in. If all else fails, maybe a factory reset using the remote might help.
Excellent THANK YOU!!!
You're welcome!
Thank you ,this help alot
Glad it helped
