- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ส.ค. 2024
- In this video I discuss two instances where sound did not play on my BOSE 700 soundbar system and the steps I took to fix. This first problem is perhaps specific to LG the second instance is perhaps more general.
Let me know if this video is useful with a comment or like or whatever
1:25 Solution 1: No Sound with LG TV
3:40 Solution 2: No Sound with non LG TV - or try with LG if step 1 didn't work

Of all the fixit videos for this soundbar, this one helped. Much appreciated!
I have nothing to say about Bose 700 sound but when it comes to connection, settings it’s just stressful I mean you shouldn’t have these problems for a 1,500$ soundbar right
I'm starting to have these issues I've think 2 years ago I bought maybe 3 controller disconnecting from bose and now the TV also no sound 😐
@@MrAdrian2416 yeah these problems are no joke right now my controller has been disconnected and it cost $50 for a new one 😂 if I knew this was coming I should of invested in a Samsung or LG really
Exactly!
Absolutely the most horrible setup
THANK YOU NEVER ENOUGH TECH! I had the exact same issue as Ian Corman, getting my Bose Soundbar 700 to talk to my Q80 Samsung Smart TV. After 3+ hours of trying every fixit on the Bose and Samsung sites, turned to this excellent channel and voila! A simple elegant solution and succinct video. Am very grateful.
I made it hoping I could help at least one - SUCCESS
Thank you so much. I almost broke my LG TV and sound bar more than once... You are my hero !
I’ve been lurking on your channel for a while. Love your expertise and humor. Subscribed.
Paid over 3k and having these petty issues. Thank you was trying to get this settled thru virtual assistant on text messaging. Saw your video it worked like a charm with a Samsung TV tho. Bose 900 series bar, 700 series jewels, 700 series sub. I love the sound just hate issues like this.
You're the best! I already gave up and used the optical cable for about a year now. Thanks to you ARC has been working great now for several days on my LG C8.
Glad to hear this 😀
Thanks so much brother, the fix worked for my new Samsung TV. Was so close to calling in the punting squad on this Bose 700 and go to the dark side aka Sonos. It took me months to decide and I opted for tried and true Bose.
Thank you! I was having the same problem with our LG TVS.
You sir are a life saver! I've been dealing with this issue of it switching back to the tv speakers with my Bose 700 set up and Samsung curve everytime the power goes out for the past two years and it is a nightmare to get it back working. Ive sat on the phone with Bose & Samsung for hours with no valid fix as everytime it would randomly start working again after unplugging the HDMI wire from Bose to tv the fifteenth time but after unplugging all other HDMI connections and turning the tv off and back on again and only reconnecting the Bose until getting sound it now always works! Thank you so much!
Thank you for your help! Quickly became frustrated with my new Vizio and was going to return it. Your easy steps saved my mind!
Yeah I think I smeared Bose here when it should have been more focused on LG. In any case glad it helped
Been trying all day to get my Bose to speak to my tv. Thanks for the tip!
My LG tv has been working with my Bose 900 Soundbar for months. Sound cut out today and it's just been a pain in the butt. I will try this LG method tomorrow when I get home from work. Thanks dude.
The reset actually solved my problem!! Thank you!!
Iv been loking for a salution for months very helpful thank you
Thanks Daniel I always enjoy your videos and look forward to the next one. I’m beginning to believe that sound bars in general have a ways to go regarding reliability.
I returned my Nakamichi 7.2.1 after spending several weeks trying to get it to work with an eight year old Vizio TV. until I get a new TV I am not even going to think about getting a sound bar. Best wishes for increased success.
Thanks for this 🙏, had the same problem with the 500 series
I have a Samsung TV, the second half of the video worked for me. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for this fix. I was going crazy
Felt the rage. Followed your steps. Worked! Thanks. Cheers.
I have a Sony TV & a Bose soundbar. I suddenly lost the sound when the remote dropped to the floor! And I could not figure out how to get the sound back!!! I I went online and followed these instructions in this order. I also noticed that when I turned up the volume on the Sony Remote; it had a little speaker icon next to it! I tried all the detaching/re-attaching the HDMI ports. I saw these instructions online and decided to try it ....
On my Sony TV Remote
1.Home Button
2.Settings
3.Sound
4.Audio Output
5.Digital Audio Output (PCM)
And yay, I got the sound back coming from from the Bose Soundbar! It worked!
But last night, I decided to watch a DVD - and I couldn't get the 'sound' to come from the Bose - instead it came from the TV, which made the sound tinny. I didn't set my system up so now that I have the sound back - how do I get my DVDs to play sound from the Bose??? It always worked before!!
I'd appreciate any help you can give. Thank you.
Hey man, this was a huge help I appreciate it!
I was facing this LG-Bose sound bar issue for about a year. Previously it work sometime and sometime don’t. Usually power down both tv and sound bar for a while and turn them back on and it will work. Until recently the sound bar just don’t sound no matter what I do. I also follow the Bose official video on HDMI ARC connection but still no luck. I tried your steps but unfortunately it doesn’t work the first time. Then I perform factory reset on my Bose sound bar. It still don’t work. And I decide to unplug all HDMI from my TV and left only the HDMI 2 ARC, now it work, when I plug in my HDMI 1, no issue, but as soon as I plug in HDMI 3, the sound switch to TV speakers. When I unplug HDMI 3, the sound switch back to Bose sound bar. Now, I leave the HDMI 3 unplug. I think this is LG TV issue after all. And thank you, your video helped me!
2nd option did right away. Thank you sir
Useful video, and fun to watch with your excellent humour! cheers.
Very helpful, thank you
Great video!! Thanks for posting 👍
I have samsung tv, second option didn't worked, i tried your 1st option LG one, and its worked, but i had issue 1st hdmi arc was invisible on mt tv list, after i solved that issue then i tried your 1st option and now simply work 😀. Thank you so much
Good stuff, thanks for sharing
Thank you so much, I bought sthe sound bar 700 two months ago and it has disconnected from my lg tv about seven times. I researched on Bose site and the only suggestion was to cut power and reset.
Bought Audioquest Forest HDMI cable, problem resolved immediately. Expensive cable but it gets the job done!
Thanks. Works with the bar800 jbl too
This worked. Thank you for sharing the tip
Glad it worked out!
Hi bro ..ive same problem wt my LG , damn feeel like smashing either systems…but glad seen your video n my problem SOLVED ! Awesome bro …rhanks a million
You are such saviour buddy!! Thanks heaps!
Bose support sucks…
THANK YOU! YOU ROCK!!!
Real good thank you
Ok. I got my Bose 700 back from the repair shop yesterday. It was set to factory defaults. Which means my updates are most likely not installed. I went on and added my 700 and my surround mini speakers to the Bose app. I reconnected the the 700 to my LG the way you suggested. After a few hours, the TV switched to the internal speaker. So I did the whole reconnection thing again. Again, after about an hour, the TV switched to the internal speaker. I don't know how much this has to do with it, but I noticed that the Bose app would automatically turn off the SOURCE TV selection. I would have to reactivate it. In the meantime, to get the sound to go through the 700, I would have to set the HDMI ARC selection again and then turn the TV off and back on again. I'm all ears for other recommendations.
I had to hard restart the t.v to get the soundbar to work. I have a LG oled CX, It will not work if you only turn the t.v off. You have to hard restart the t.v. You do this by turing off or unplugging the main power source(t.v. power cable) for 10 seconds. When you turn on or plug in the main power source after 10 seconds the screen will say "welcome" in three different languages. After this the t.v will connect to the cable source or whatever source you are watch(Netflix, TH-cam, etc...) and the soundbar will be working. Be sure to turn have the hdmi arc "on" in the sound setting before trying this. Hope this helps!
Great video, thank you!
I’m doing some homework while I wait for my soundbar in the mail. Basic question, what is the Ethernet for on the soundbar? Just Alexa?
Everything internet
Thanks a lot, it worked
Sometimes you can check tv input from the app or the remote; that will work too
Worked wonders for me after 2 hours of trying to reset everything and having difficulties connecting the app to the soundbar. (Samsung TV)
How did you do it to fix it, it just happened to me with my Samsung TV
I was trying to fix this the whole day. Now I click on this video, and all of a sudden I hear the sound through the earphones. what. the. heck. is the video itself the solution? :D Thank you in any case!! ^^
Amazing I looked through ton of forums with no luck but was found your video amazing!!! Guessing it’s a link issue but works my best guess is software issue with LG
For others that have this issue I’ve got LG GX TV with Bose SoundTouch300 and the is process worked for me.
Great work!!!
I have the same set up but cannot get ARC to work for me It keeps going to the internal speakers Very frustrating
Patiently waiting for a Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2.4 review!
100% coming
Thanks buddy
Sony 950G and Bose 700 sound bar. I have the HDMI plugged into ARC on both devices and the optical cable connected as well. It has been working for about a year then suddenly stopped about a month ago. I have tried both of these fixes. A complete reset of the Bose Soundbar fixes it for about a minute, then the TV displays “Audio device not available, switching to TV Speakers”. If I turn BRAVIA off on the TV, the sound bar works, but I get double sound from the TV and the sound bar. Turning BRAVIA back on causes the “Audio Device not available” error to occur within seconds and it switches back to the TV sound.
You are a life saver
Works great
Ty soo much! My son is 1 and alway by the entertainment and hit my 700 where Alexa, cause he know that if he hit that corner it will make a sound..
Somehow I'm glad I'm still using optical instead of HDMI. It would be like getting USB sound if only I unplug all the other USB devices, plugged everything back in a certain order, and waiting for the next driver update patch. There's something to said about devices that just work.
A lot to be said for devices that work. Try to urge that on my channel. ARC does seem to be a little temperamental.
I connected both optical and HDMI eARC with my bose soundbar 900 and the bug fixed, worked perfectly. I think all the Bose soundbars worked fine with the sulotion.
Is it reading from optical or HDMI?
@@neverenoughtech it will go with HDMI,if you choose HDMI eRAC from TV.
would this work with the Bose TV Theater? Thanks
I've had the same exact problem with my Nakamachi Shockwafe 9.2.4 and Samsung smart TV. What I did is reset the TV, and after I made the correct settings and reconnected everything, it is now back to normal. But to ensure a fallback stratgy, I also now have the optical cable connected in case I want to use it in a pinch if the issue comes back again.
@Louis Dorato shame you have to do it. Good to have a plan.
@@neverenoughtech Thank you. The strange thing is this occured right out of the blue without moving it to another system. One day there was sound through the soundbar, the next day the TV speaker took over. It was kind of spooky.
Thank you! The first solution worked for me. Unplug everything (just Xbox) and plug them again...
hello, a question in addition to the hdmi cables should I also disconnect the optical cable and usb cables from the back of the tv? (samsungq70r), thanks
For good measure just remove everything
I do resetting the same what you do it done, volume to connect to tv but no sound. So stressful and stupid sound at 700 Bose. What can I do wrong? Help please
Can I keep the optical plugged in even when the bar is hdmi is plugged in ARC ? And if so will I be able to switch back and forth between Arc and Optical ? Thanks for the input
Don’t have it on me but my inclination is you just choose your output
So i have and lg oled tv and I had a bose 700 and never had any issues.
Upgraded to a bose 900 and was fine for about 3 weeks and then boom this stated happening and even when on TV speakers the bar still thinks its outputting audio. Only fix was to power it down and on again but its happening all the time.
Changed to a bose ultra hoping the newer software would be more stable and after 12 hours the same issue.
It must be some issue with cec communication and bose. As my lg soundbar and jbl were fine. I also notice a cec communication error when using atmos content as I get no notification like i did before even though the bose app confirms its outputting atmos.
I have a Bose too! At 1st and this is only on you tube now with you tube on the TV it's really low! And the sound is really low and it sucks!! I've TRYED everything how can I get it to sound nice and loud again always no matter what app or regular TV cable!!
I have moved recently, tried 30 min to reconnect my Bose 900 to my Samsung tv, didnt work so I had to reset it. I mounted my tv to the tv stand yesterday, as you can image, I need to do the reset again lol. Lesson I learned, never ever remove the hdmi cable from the tv. I am gonna tap the Cable to remind me not unplug again.
I’ve done all of this but after a while it just starts all over again. I got an Sony 65AF9 any suggestions?
Mine doesn’t work after switching to another hdmi input eg chrome cast and then switching back to TV. It seems to go only one way and then not back. Any solution?
Bro please talk about Sony Soundbars Atmos and CES 2021 (vs JBL 9.1) etc
Good suggestion!
@@neverenoughtech Thanks and God bless you and your family. Keep up the good work
Hi, can someone help me on this. I have a bose 900 soundbar, with base module and surround speakers. The system is connected to Sony Google TV through EARC but the sound output is not that great compared to sound output which I get when I connect it with my laptop and samsung smartphone using Bluetooth. Is it because some settings in Sony TV?
Ok. I’m getting the same issue with my Bose SB 700 connected to my LG TV. The sound will not stay connected to the ARC. It changes to internal speaker all the darn time. Turning TV on and off would fix the problem most of the time. In December, my SB just quit working. The white light moved from left to right continuously. The manual says that when it does this, it means it’s updating? But NOT for 3 days straight! I sent it in for repairs and got it back 3 weeks later. Same problem! It would switch back to internal speaker. NOW…I wish I had seen your video prior to yesterday. I would have done all the connections as you recommended. Today, I’m boxing it up AGAIN and sending it to be repaired because that same white light is happening. I tried the hard reset, but no luck. I’m ready to just pitch this in the trash. Any suggestions or anyone else with same issue?
what about sony tvs?
What is the best audio settings for music movies and gaming?
Hard to say … not sure of your tastes and room. I tended to leave the EQing neutral … maybe with a slight bass boost.
@@neverenoughtech I just want it to sound good clear
Maybe upgrade two a new hdmi cable
Yeah, that’s definitely not the problem. Could largely be a LG issue
Is it possible the TV sould could stop feeding soundbar because it is a little older, 2014, soundbar was working great and suddenly no sound, TV speakers still work?!!!!!! Ada
2020 TV with eARC was used here
I have an lg tv , it will only connect to my bose 900 soundbar via optical, it will not connect via hdmi arc.... any suggestions
No suggestions beyond the two I outlined in the video
Hello , i have a Problem with my bose sb 700 , i dont have connected with a tv , i just simply connected to use it as a normal airplay speaker o bt speaker , but the bar wont make any sound not even if i press the circle button on the glass wont even vibrate, its perfectly conected through the bose music app but the wont sound anything , no airplay no bt , no arc tv nothing what can i do in this case! Please Help !
Did you fix it I have this problem, this shit is so annoying, can’t even use a speaker without going through a fucking IT course
Will this soundbar work with arc or earc?
Both
the front light keep on scrolling, tv doesn't doesn't recognize bose soundbar I'm frustated, help
Ok, but why does this happen??? Have same issue with 2 Bose 500. Would just like the root cause of the problem. Apparently it is not only Bose who has this issue...
So I reset it the only thing that came back working was the music but my bose system is still not activating the sound with my samsung tv what should I do ??
Did you try both methods?
@@neverenoughtech yes
Everything else works fine like the music method is good also but the Samsung TV and bose are still not connecting.
Well I decided to go back and try one of your methods again and this time it work out of nowhere I was surprised WOW 😳 and thank you.👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks for the LG tv fix!
Bose needs to get their act together Both my Bose 700 and 900 have been doing this, this equipment is not supposed to act like cheap Chinese junk. Unfortunately I have a Samsung 4K Qled It acts like the issue with LG.
I can’t get my 700 Bose soundbar to work with my new Samsung neoqled tv to work. It keeps switching the tv
Bose doesn't work well with Samsung tvs. My sound bar only worked for 10 minutes.
How to connect a 3rd part subwoofer to the bose soundbar?
Cable to connect smart ultra to a 3rd party sub - amzn.to/3SxL4JG - connect the 3.5mm to the bar and the RCA to the powered sub
@@neverenoughtech thank you so much
It’s more like the audio sounds weird think of a regular tv sound but their is bass
My Bose sound bar relentlessly shuts off my vizio tv. I just cannot figure it out. 🤦🏻♂️
I wish apple could release sound bar
the remote wont respond at all. it wont even do the reset thing
I hate this soundbar 😅 I have tried everything my tv just won't recognise my soundbar ( says it's turned off ) does the same with optical. Only way I can pair it with my tv is Bluetooth
This shit really is annoying as hell. However, I just now figured out that my Bose sound bar is not part of/connected to my Bose sound system. My Bose box(which all my devices/HDMI cablesgo through) only controls my sub woofers/surround sound.
I always knew I could just unplug my Bose control box, and just get audio through the TV, but I always thought that the TV itself had speakers somewhere, presumably in the back, as it's a very thin TV. Hell, maybe it does, I dunno, but I just unplugged my Bose box as this is the first time I couldn't fix this problem, and realized the sound was coming through the sound bar. I though that was what the Bose console meant by "accoustimass", so I kept unplugging and trying to reset that.
Fucking hell. I swear there's gotta be an easier way to do 'll this stuff(other than paying someone to come, which arguably is sometimes worth the avoided time frustration, though that's a whole other problem as often the guy will get here, and say, "oh, I don't know how to fix this, you need so and so to come out.")
Then again, I guess it is pretty impressive that someone as non tech-savvy as me can set up all of these TVs, gaming consoles, DVD players, stereos, the modem/router, etc. I guess the sound system is actually the only thing I ever have real trouble with(besides sometimes the cable, but I almost never use that), and it can be set off by something as simple switching an HDMI cable to my DVD player, and then switching it back to whatever slot it was plugged into in the sound bar in the first place.
I have an issue with my Bose Smart 600 where sound works great through my optical port, but once in a while, especially after pausing a show, I will lose sound and I have to use the Bose phone app to power the sound bar back on. It is incredibly fucking aggravating! I have not found a fix for this? I am using a Visio TV with this sound bar. I have tried resetting the sound bar, and it still does this.
Why the fuck does the sound bar just power off like that? It's so stupid!
I did the samsung portion multiple times and after all of that, still nothing. I enjoy the quality of sound when its working but the consistency sucks for the amount of money I paid. I have bose everything and for the first time Im extremely disappointed. I thought it was just me
I don't think Bose works well with Samsung tvs. My soundbar worked for 10 minutes and then just cut out. I could even get the soundbar to turn on. I returned it to Best Buy. I'll just stick with the TV sound. Far less frustrating.
Worked perfectly but this fu****g issue is happening again after switched off the tv last night and switch on the tv this morning… Had a call with Bose this morning and the only solution they gave me was to connect the optical cable… last time with bose for me
The optical cable solution is unacceptable - don’t blame you for dropping
@@neverenoughtech Off course it's unacceptable for the price that cost that soundbar... Even the volume can't be controlled by the LG's Magic remote, I must use the Bose soundbar remote and it's look like a 10 year step back
I'm still waiting for a miraculous update of the soundbar but this issue makes no sense
Update: Going to SOUND-eARC Support reconnected my sound bar. Even after turn is TV off including all other devices.
Just purchased an LG G2 77” and connected my Bose 700 to the correct hdmi (ARC) port. The sound bar worked until I turn off the TV. Now the sound bar will not play. Since the TV panel is flushed with the wall and requires delicate handling, it is asinine to pull the TV away from the wall each time the TV drops the sound bar connection. Not too happy with this LG product.
I don't think Bose works well with Samsung tvs. My soundbar worked for 5 minutes and then refused to turn back on. I could not get it to work and I paid 200 dollars for it. I sent it back to Best Buy
Maybe get a new hdmi cable
Go straight to the point
Be less bossy
I used to revere Bose. I used to sell their speakers in the 90s and I loved them. I only used bose speakers. Even the fancy surround sound systems. With the two bars that I bought - one 700 and one 300.. all they do is give me grief. Good speakers should be transparent. I will tell you at this point in my life - 30 -40 minutes of troubleshooting sound isn't my idea of life. I will NEVER buy a bose product again. They are crap. I will never let any of my friends buy them. JUNK! if you don't believe me - call their tech support with your problem. LOL - they will eventually decide that you did something wrong. I should have stuck with the LG sound bar for my LG TV. So - BOSE if you are reading - You have a negative NET promoter score from me.
I hate my Bose Soundbar 700. I want to punch it in the face. Too many problems. And no ATMOS. My soundbar freezes for no reason. Completely unresponsive. Can't turn off or on, just red light. I have to unplug to get the stupid white light to come on and have it work again. I hate this thing.
Also, no display is a critical flaw. Nothing on the TV, nothing on the sound bar. I don't know what input it is on, what mode it is in, what volume level it is, if it is even on or off.
i have the entire setup surround speakers base unit etc and x2 bose 500 the problem and it pisses me off is all my equipment is 2019-20 bose and i cant link all my speakers together when using the 500 with the sound bar and tv theres a delay and you fix it through the delay sound on either the bose or my lg tv arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr fix your shitty software bose and sort out the link features
Shit bar still not working
HOLY FUCK BOSE ENGINEERS SHOULD GET FIRED
this sound bar is a piece of shit..... ive had nothing but issues with it.
