LG TV - Troubleshooting Echoes Coming From the TV Speakers and Sound Bar

  • Troubleshooting

At a Glance

•  Possible causes of echoing sound are many.

If the Digital Sound output is set to [Auto], then there will be a delay in sending outputs to the external speaker compared to the TV speaker due to voice signal output processing, and thus there may be echoing sounds.

•  If [Use Multiple Speakers] is enabled in the audio settings, the sound may be echoed or out of sync due to sound interference.
