||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this tv to replace another Samsung that started to show vertical lines. Bought the brand again, but noticed sound was not too good, have to use it at almost maximum volume and now less than a month after purchase tv didn’t have sound. Had to unplug and plug again as per instructions on troubleshooting. Will wait to see how it behaves and repost.

Posted .Hi SoniagR,
Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience with your U8000 TV. If you’re not hearing any sound, whether using TV speakers or an external audio device, here are several steps that can help get things working again.
1. Start with Basic Checks
• Make sure the TV isn’t muted and the volume is turned up.
• If using an external audio device, ensure it’s powered on, set to the correct source, and the volume is turned up there as well.
• Unplug your TV for 30 seconds, then plug it back in and power it on.
2. HDMI ARC / eARC Connection
• Use a certified High-Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet. Connect it to the HDMI eARC ports on both the TV and the soundbar/receiver.
• Enable these settings:
o Settings > All Settings > Sound > Expert Settings > HDMI eARC Mode = Auto
o Settings > All Settings > General & Privacy > External Device Manager > Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) = On
• Check the digital audio format: Settings > All Settings > Sound > Expert Settings > Digital Output Audio Format
o If you're not sure what your connected device supports, set it to Auto.
4. Bluetooth Audio Connection
• Pair your Bluetooth device: Settings > All Settings > Sound > Sound Output > Bluetooth Speaker List
• If your Bluetooth device doesn’t appear or won’t connect, move it closer to the TV, ensure it’s in pairing mode, and select Scan.
• If paired but no sound, unpair the device and try reconnecting.
5. Wi-Fi / Wireless Speakers
• Confirm the speakers and the TV are on the same Wi-Fi network. Use: Settings > All Settings > Sound > Sound Output > Wi-Fi Speaker Surround Setup
• Reboot both the TV and the Wi-Fi speakers, and check your router for connection strength.
6. Other Helpful Tips
• Run a Sound Test: Settings > Support > Device Care > Self Diagnosis > Sound Test
• Update TV firmware to rule out compatibility issues: Settings > Support > Software Update > Update Now
• If using a cable box or external streaming device, double-check that the device’s audio output settings are set to HDMI or the appropriate output.
If you still don’t hear sound after following these steps, please don’t hesitate to reach out so we can assist further. You can call Samsung Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM – 12AM EST, 7 days a week. Our LiveChat agents are also available by clicking the ‘Support’ link at Samsung.com

Used TV
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought used and said it was in good condition, but I’ve found two minor defects. The corner of the plastic was coming off, and there is a dark spot that won’t come off on the screen. Good enough for a guest room tv.
