I just got a 54 inch tv from a friend and the picture is fine. There is NO sound,PLEASE HELP!!!

Question

I even plugged speakers into the speaker slots in the back and got nothing. Please help!!

Answer 1

If your friend was piping the sound through a stereo system, it's possible he disabled the tv speakers in the tv menu.  See if you can get into the audio part of the tv setup menu, and look for settings like this.

It might help out if you mention what brand/model tv you got.
