Fix the "no sound" issue of most Onkyo and Pioneer AV receivers

Worked for me.

My Pioneer SC-97 just started doing this about a month ago. Currently , no sound. I might have to try this. Must be a manufacturing defect on these HDMI boards. I just ordered a New Sony AZ5000es.. So we'll see what happens.

I would like to see someone prove this by applying pressure, otherwise you may just be temporarily reviving tired capacitors to fix the issue for a short while.

Thanks this worked for me. Unfortunately I think I heated it for too long as the front buttons are no longer responding nor is it working with the remote 😢

Worked for me! Thank you

My onkyo set is stuck on " NOW INITIALISING" on the screen . What should I do. Please reply

I try this technique whit my onkyo 609 and no work

Worked perfectly thanks!!!

Sir im pilipino my onkyo txsr 702 no sound but have display still in speaker set up.thnks sir

My Onkyo has a zone 2 which works but all my other speakers don't I believe I heard a clicking noise like an internal switch switching before it all stopped working except zone 2 speakers. My question is, Is this the same problem you are referring to?

I have an onkyo 616 that switches on but it doesn't do any sound at all from any input, not even the wireless.I have an onkyo 616 that switches on but it doesn't do any sound at all from any input, not even the wireless.
Will this work?

What if my speakers are showing but there's no sound? Also I've been trying to run all my sound through Bluetooth which connects but no sound

Okay, let's get this straight: you unplug everything, remove the top to show all the naked electronics, you find this one doo-hinky, and heat it up with a heat gun - right?
I'm calling bullsh*t. Just another crank upload looking for attention and hits.
But, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I have this exact problem. Worst case is I'm no worse off than I was before. Still think your solution is bullsh*t but I'll give it a try.

EDIT: I take it all back. I was wrong. I did it as you showed here - but heated the doo-hinky for a minute or so. And now it works just fine. I'm indebted to you, sir. You just saved me a couple thousand dollars. Thank you.

Worked for me, used a hair dryer for 1 minute since i dont have a heat Gun

My sound is automatically going to max

I have an older kenwood kr-v9030 and everything works great, but it has very low volume. Do you have any idea what to look for ? Should i try cleaning the pots ? Thank you

You should do an update video to show that such a "fix" has lasted.

Thanks

Aux is not giving sound as well. Can it still be a hdmi chip fault?

Have an RZ-50 and was working fine for 6 months, today i am getting ZERO soun. Help?
