Before You Start: No sound may be caused by disconnected headphones, incorrect TV audio settings, or a loose audio cable. Play a TV program or video with sound, then follow these steps.
Step 1 – Restart Devices & Check Headphone Connection
- Turn OFF the TV, transmitter, and headphones. Turn them back ON, starting with the TV.
- Set the headphone switch to TV / BASE.
- Check the headphone LED.
Solid BLUE – Headphones connected. Continue to Step 2.
Headphones not connecting? Duet headphones use 2.4 GHz wireless, not TV Bluetooth. Follow the Opera Plus Headphones Reconnection Guide →
Step 2 – Check the Audio Signal & TV Settings
Play a TV program or video with sound. Check the transmitter’s Audio Signal LED.
Solid WHITE – TV audio detected.
Flashing WHITE – No valid TV audio detected. Check the settings below.
Choose your TV connection and follow the matching instructions.
Optical – TV Connection
Important – Set your TV audio format to PCM / Stereo.
Why PCM? PCM allows the Opera Plus transmitter to receive and play TV audio correctly. Dolby, DTS, Bitstream, Auto, or Pass Through may cause no sound.

Step 3 – Check the Cable & Volume
-
Check the cable connection: Use only one audio connection (HDMI ARC, Optical, or AUX). Make sure the cable is securely connected to both the TV and transmitter.
- Optical: Connect to the transmitter’s OPT IN (Input from TV).
- HDMI ARC: Connect to the transmitter’s HDMI ARC INPUT.
- AUX / 3.5 mm: Connect to the transmitter’s AUX IN (Input from TV).
- Input Selector: Set the transmitter to match your connection: HDMI ARC, OPT, or AUX.
- Volume: Increase the headphone volume. If using AUX, also increase the TV volume.
- Test: Try another TV channel or video. If there is still no sound, try a new cable of the same type.
