Poor sound quality from product

If you experience distortion, crackling, static, noise or unexpected poor sound quality from your product:

Be sure the system is set up properly and all connections are secure.

A connection may have come loose or may be connected incorrectly. For more info, see Setting up your product.

Determine if the problem is specifically related to bass performance.

If there is too little bass, see Too little bass or too much treble from product.

Check to see if Dialogue Mode is on or off.

Dialogue mode provides optimal sound quality for dialogue-only programming, such as news and talk shows, by automatically adjusting the system’s sound settings. Turn this feature on or off and check if the audio quality is improved. For more information, see Turning Dialogue Mode on or off.

Turn up the volume of the connected device.

Set the device volume to 90–100% to send a strong signal to your product. Then, use your product to adjust the volume level.

Reset your product.

Much like rebooting a smartphone, your product might need to be reset on occasion to correct minor issues. For more info, see Resetting your product.

Try connecting a different audio device.

If available, connect another audio device using the same cables and connections to determine if the issue is related to the first device or its settings.

Check for sources of interference.

Electronics can pick up interference from other electronics connected to the same power circuit or connected within close proximity. Try disconnecting the power cord from any such nearby electronics (i.e. laptop/phone charger, TV, cable box, seasonal lights, microwave, etc.). If the issue is resolved, try connecting the device or your product to a different power circuit or farther away.
