No audio from product

If your product seems to be set up properly but does not produce sound, try the following:

Check if the Snooze feature is active.

When snoozed, your system remains silent for the duration of the snooze period. Try disabling Snooze. For more info, see Using the Snooze feature.

In the TV menu, look for applicable audio/sound settings.

Many TVs have a menu setting that allows audio to be sent to speakers other than the TV speakers. In the TV menu, navigate to sound settings and look for a TV Speakers or Audio Output option (or something similar). The TV speakers may need to be turned off and the output may need to be set to Fixed or External Speakers. (Tip: If there is no fixed output option, you might need to turn up the TV volume to max to hear it through your Bose speakers—even if the TV speakers are turned off.)

Check the volume level on the Bose system.

When the system is turned on, its volume slowly ramps from zero to the last level used. If the system was turned off at an extremely low volume, it ramps to a moderate volume level. Pressing the volume button during this process sets the volume and stops if from ramping. If a higher level is desired, increase the volume gradually.

Check that that the correct audio source is selected.

Since there is more than one audio source built-in to your system (i.e. FM and AM radio), be sure the source you want to hear is selected on the system.

Remove any cables connected to the Variable Out jacks.

Check to see if there is anything plugged into the jacks labeled Variable Out on the back of the radio. Using the variable out connection mutes the internal speakers. Remove any cables connected to these jacks to that the audio can be heard through the speakers in the system.

Reset your product.

Much like rebooting a smartphone, your product might need to be reset on occasion to correct minor issues. For more info, see Resetting your product.
