My Vizio model M501d-a2 has a problem with the sound skipping every 30-40 seconds. Any answers?

I experience the same thing but not as frequent. I am also having issues with it turning itself off. I was told there is a problem with the power pack inside the TV. it does have a 1year factory warranty but dealing with Vizio CS is a pain. I bought mine from Best Buy abd bought there extended warranty so right now I am waiting for them to receive some more in so they can do a swap for a new one. I happen to like this TV very much but it seems without an extended warranty you might be on your own. Good Luck.

I have m551 model and am not having that problem, maybe you should contact Vizio with this problem.

hi karan ... i have not experienced that particular issue, however, i would offer these trouble-shooting procedures. first, i would try unplugging the tv and the cable box from the power source. wait 10 seconds and then plug both back in. this is similar to a re-boot. second, i would go into the vizio tv menu and select audio options. in there you can change the audio feed to bits-stream or from bits-stream. if neither work, i would call the vizio customer support ... they are very courteous and helpful. good luck! anthony

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.

I purchased the VIZIOX VT323SV32-Inch Full HD on July 27th. Several times over the past 2 months, while I am watching a program, the screen goes black, the Vizio logo flashes on and off orange for about 30 second, the logo goes white again, and the program pops back on. At first I thought it was a firmware update, but after the 3rd time I contacted Vizio Support. It was acknowledged this is a "known" problem they are working on. Does the comparable Sony discussed in this blog have any similar problems? I don't know if Amazon will take the Vizio back as it is over the 30 days.

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.

I have had the 46B650 (not the A) for about 3 weeks, and this audio delay problem (AND IT IS A PROBLEM) was something I noticed right away. I like many of you, do have a receiver with external speakers for surround sound when I need it, or just when I need it loud. However I do still like to be able to use the TV's internal speakers to provide more voice clarity, or just a quasi-center volume control. However the audio from the receiver seems to be ahead of the image. If I only use the internal speakers it's fine. If I only use the external speakers it's fine. However when I use both there is a very noticeable echo that is unacceptable. Previously my setup had the audio right from my Comcast Cable Box to the receiver, and separately to the TV via the HDMI. Since I had this delay I purchased an optical audio cable and ran that from the TV to the receiver, thinking this would allow the TV to synchronize the audio it was emitting with the audio signal it was outputting to the receiver. NO SUCH LUCK. This does not fix the problem. My Sony STR-DE595 receiver does not have any settings to delay the audio. And there are no settings on the TV to assist with this issue. Samsung was nice enough to put something in the menu which lets you choose internal or external speaker, which basically disables the TV speaker. Thank you jacka$$es, I can turn the TV down myself. ----------- MY SOLUTION THAT WORKED! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK---------- Enter that Secret Menu which can be accessed by doing this: 1. Turn off the TV 2. Press 'Mute' '1' '8' '2' 'Power' 3. The TV will start and you will be in the SM (give it a few extra seconds). Once in the Secret Menu navigate to Control &gt; SOUND Change the setting "Speaker Delay Normal" all the way down to 0x00h This seems to synchronize the audio from my TV speakers to the Receiver's speakers without any noticeable lag between the video and the audio. Hope this helps some of you out there, be careful with those other settings as it's easy to activate changes unintentionally.

Hi i just bought this tv and loved it until I turned down the volume and had the same problem. I am returning it unfortunately but for the price it is a steal :-)

I would first check the cables, whether they are plugged in correctly. Though it may seem silly, check on volume and muting. Go to settings in the TV and make sure the audio is set up correctly. If all other options have failed, You may have a problem with the TV itself. Should be under warranty!

Thank you very much for responding. You have confirmed that this seems to be an anomaly. I'll contact Vizio. Problem is this is a replacement unit for my first unit that had a bad USB port. Starting to lose faith.

I have this same problem. It's happened twice now, each time I had to send it back to Denon. After the 2nd time, I've asked for a replacement instead of a repair. We'll see what they give me, but I'm guessing they'll replace it with a refurb unit that will probably have the same issue.

I had that problem and it was because my tv volume was too low when I set it up. If you turn up your tv volume before you disable the tv speakers it should work. If the soundbar is ringing during silences your tv volume is too loud.

I had this problem also. I fixed it by changing the audio output setting on my bluray player to stream the audio as unprocessed.

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.

I would check your audio connection in the back I have had no problems with the sound on the TV. I agree it should be under the warranty

Have not had this problem. I suggest you check with Vizio service. They were very helpful with an issue I had.

Hi Jimmy, I just discovered with my Vizio Soundbar that once the Sony remote was set to the TV, it was auto controlling the sound bar volume, just not the ability to turn it on/off

I never encounter a delay with the sound and I hook up direct to the tv.Sorry I can help more but u could check youtube.

I have never had a problem like this before. I think very highly of this sound system. I'm thinking about buying another one of these sound systems for my other TV which has a worn out sound system. Hope this helps you out.
