    7760436 No sound when connect to TV. The red light was visible when unplugged from the sound bar. It works after digital Audio cable reconnected, however, when I changed to a new video clip the sound stopped so I've got to unplug it again. It works for only one video clip( I'm watching YouTube from Samsung UA55MU6100S)

    RXM is correct, looks like you're running into that issue from the other thread. I've gone ahead and created a ticket for you for tracking purposes on our end. When the issue has been resolved, we'll be emailing you to let you in on the next steps. We'll be in touch.

    If anyone else has trouble with PLAYBAR not playing audio, let's use the other thread, this one. That way we can keep everything in one place.

    Thanks!

    Similar issues here. I can play music, but TV is spotty. Tried a movie on Amazon, silence for a few minutes, then sound was fine. Swapped over to YouTube, then back to Amazon, sound is gone. On YouTube, I get all of the menu sounds (e.g. Scroll, select), but vids play with no sound. Diagnostic is 7769980.
