Intermittent loss of sound

Sound is lost at random times.  Change channel then go back and the sound is there again.  Happens on both the main Q box and mini boxes - so with different TVs, cabling etc.. Picture remains good.

Hi @Lisvane 


Try a Reset Settings in the main Q box hidden menu.
To enter hidden menu press Home and navigate down to Settings but do not select Settings.
With Settings highlighted press 0 0 1 Select.
Only Carry out the first Reset (Reset Settings) as the other two will wipe all recordings.
After the Reset you will have to re pair your Bluetooth remote If you use one.
If you cannot switch the Q box on with the remote after the Reset press the Standby button (Amber led) on the front of the box.
To re pair the remote press 1 & 3 together on the remote and follow onscreen instructions to re pair.

Make sure that you are pointing the remote at the Q box when you press 1 & 3 together.

Resetting the settings will also reset:

Audio visual settings, such as picture resolution and HDMI control
Settings changed within the hidden engineer menu, include LNB type. If on a communal dish you need to reset the LNB to SCR in the hidden menu. After changing the LNB type you need to reboot the Q box.

Thanks for that.

 

No need for hidden menu- reset available through settings menu.

 

I've done that so will see if  the problem re-occurs!

Mmm

Only a Network reset is in Settings if you don't go to the hidden menu @Lisvane 

I'm referring to a Reset settings of the Q box not the Network.

I had this problem when I switched off WiFi from the router. When I switched it back on, the problem disappeared.
