Why did the sound on my HDMI stop working?

Direct TV sound not working after plugging in an HDMI cable for a Roku box?

  • I have a Sony Bravia flat screen TV, Direct TV, and a Roku box. I just got the Roku box and have an HDMI cable for that. Once I plugged the HDMI in, the sound worked fine for the Roku box but when I tried to watch Direct TV again there was picture but no sound. I didn't change any of the cords on the back so I can't figure out why it's not working now. I had this problem once before when hooking up a PS3 with an HDMI cable but I don't remember how I fixed it.

  • Answer:

    power down the Roku box. ? if you leave some HDMI boxes powered up, they 'take over' the TV as the selected input. Useful in some ways, annoying in many others !!
