Hi,

I have my Vizio M series TV connected to Play 5 Gen 2 via RCA to 3.5mm connector. Sometimes, the sounds automatically stops playing and I have to turn back on the TV speakers. Do you know what might be the issue?

I went through the FAQs and Line in setup pages but couldn’t find anything.

Thanks

What’s “automatic” about it? How often does it happen? Whilst watching/listening, or it’s like that when you turn on tv to watch a program? If you have to “turn back on the tv speakers” might there be an issue with the tv?

There is a timeout on line-in that can kick in if the signal is silent for a period of time (5 mins? I forget). There is a cryptic option that can be changed to avoid this, I had to figure it out when I started using mine for online meetings connected to my PC.

If memory serves, it’s the ‘auto-play’ feature that toggles on or off that timeout. If you turn off auto-play, then the timeout is turned off. Subject to testing, of course, things may have changed since the last time I played with that.
