The sound on my 5 year old TV has suddenly gone and sounds like i'm listening to it through a wall (muffled)?

Question

Never had a problem before and sound is OK when listening through headphones? Has my TV given up the ghost and should I start thinking about buying a new one? The sound occasionally crackles back into life but only for a few mins.

Answer 1

sounds like the speakers have gone! depending on what kinda tv youve got, you could buy a new one, if it's too expensive for you to do this you can pick up dvd players with surround sound inc speakers from about £45, then the sound will do though the amp in the dvd and hey presto, you can turn the subtitles off! hope this helps!
