I just received this TV and the sound is so tinny. I adjusted the bass to a higher level and it didn't help. Anyone else having this issue? Did I get a bad TV?

My apologies - this was purchased for a client so I've never heard the sound on it. I believe he is using it in a small room so the sound may be ok in that type of environment.

We just bought and the sound is awful as well. Looking for a mini soundbar now. Trying to figure out if this TV is bluetooth capable?

YES, no problem. I like this TV, except I have to crank the volume to 100% most of the time as I am a bit hard of hearing. I guess TV Ears will be next.Bill

Have you tried to call their technical support? They were really helpful when I called them. Also, you can always return it. I returned my first one since I had some issues with the sound and got a replacement and it is perfect. Check the HDMI Cable too. You may need to try another one in case it is bad.

Sorry I can't help you. This TV barely lasted a year before the sound went out and we pitched it. I wouldn't recommend this TV to anyone!!!

I qould contact samsung right away and inform them of teh situation...from what I have read (AVS Forums) they will send a technician out and if they determine there is a buzz they do have a solution...anyone looking for more info I would suggest going to AVS forums and reading the thread about this TV....be warned...its long....longer than whoadies vag.

Compared to my other TV's the sound is almost the same. I did adjust it slightly with the Setup button on the Remote Control. There is a Sound tab and the balance, bass and treble can be changed. Hope it helps.

I bought the Sharp for my son. The sound was weaker, but according to him, that is the price we pay for the thinner TVs. I also bought a Samsung Smart TV for my house. Both have the same problem. He solved the problem on his with a sound bar. I just turn mine up high. I will probably add speakers to mine eventually.

I have the same problem. I assumed it was caused by running the sound through a receiver. Does it do it using the tv speakers? I would like know too.

Mine is September 2010 also. What I did last night was pull the TV back out of the box and hook it back up in our room. In complete silence, I can hear a slight noise when the volume level is between 1-2. If I put it on 0, I hear nothing and anything above 2 I hear nothing. This is a gift for my son for Christmas. Once it's actually up in his room and has been used for a couple days I will check it again. What kind of connections are yall using?

The sound sound on the tv itself is definitely lacking in the audio department. I see why you ordered one, with that being said I have no idea if it will work or not, hell I didn't even know they had one.

I stongly recommend a sound bar. The sound from the TV is quite inferior. It made a huge difference for me. I bought both TV and the sound bar here.

Great Granny,I would try to exchange or return the tv while you still can. Only a minority of Vizio's have picture problems and you are certain your tv has a sound issue. If you were to use external speakers you might still have a sound problem anyway. Good luck.

Not really that good to be honest. They have a hollow, tinny sound. You can adjust them with internal controls but I don't think it helps much. I rarely use them and play the sound thru my external 5.1 surround system. It's a shame because otherwise the TV is excellent for the price.

Since I don't use the TV speakers since I use a Bose surround system. I never could get the TV speakers to sound quite right. I do use Vivid picture mode and adjust.

Anybody have a thumb drive to fix Vizio sound issue? Webpage says it is unavailable. After watching for about an hour, sound gets distorted. Other than that, a great bedroom tv. Or , if anyone had the same issue and solved it, please let me know. Have tried every option on tv audio menu.
