Slight issues like muted sound or disabled internal speakers can cause this common problem.

I’ve carefully highlighted some fixes for sound issues on your Sony Bravia TV.
Why is there No Sound from Sony Bravia TV?
There is no sound from Sony Bravia TVs, usually due to a software or audio configuration issue.

- Faulty speakers: if the internal speakers of your Sony Bravia TV are faulty or have been connected to an external or secondary audio output, there will be no sound from the TV. This will require the speakers to be repaired or reactivate the internal speakers if they are disabled.
