Samsung TV & Audio HW-B650 3.0 Channel 330 Watt Soundbar with DTS Virtual:X and Bluetooth NO SOUND Error Fix: Soundbar On But No Audio Output

Error code NO SOUND on the Samsung TV & Audio HW-B650 3.0 Channel 330 Watt Soundbar with DTS Virtual:X and Bluetooth means: Soundbar On But No Audio Output. Soundbar is powered on, display shows an input mode, but no sound from any speaker. Systematic check: (1) increase volume — soundbar may be at 0 or muted (check for "MUTE" on display), (2) verify correct input source — press Source button to cycle through inputs, (3) for ARC: check TV sound output setting, (4) test with Bluetooth from phone to isolate — if BT audio works, the issue is input-specific, (5) factory reset: press and hold Play/Pause 5+ seconds until "INIT" appears, (6) if no sound on ANY input after factory reset, internal amplifier or DSP has failed — hardware repair needed. Check speaker connections internally are not loose (rare manufacturing defect).
