You have to turn up the volume to 38+ in order to hear the TV, when you use to be able to hear it at 10, is there a control board that goes out and what Is the name of it?

Hi Geoff, I hope I can help you with this. If you are using an accessory device (DVD, DVR) check cables to see that they are secure and if device has audio out option that it is set correctly. Also check to see that Video and Audio cables are connected to matching inputs on your set.
If you are using DVI to HDMI you will need to use a separate digital audio cable. DVI cables do not carry audio signal. After attaching the audio cable if you still do not hear sound you may need to set Digital Audio In. To do so:

1. Press Menu Button on remote.
2. Press the cursor ring down to highlight SETUP.
3. Press the cursor ring left to enter SETUP menu.
4. Press the cursor ring down to highlight SOURCE.
5. Press the cursor ring left to enter SOURCE menu.
6. Press the cursor ring down to highlight DIGITAL AUDIO IN.
7. Press the cursor ring down to select the source you want to associate Digital Audio with. HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 in this case. You might need a software update also.
   The latest software solves the issues below:
   
   1. TV (Plasma 42" and 50") will not turn ON/shut off itself and Red LED blinks 4- times. Recover if main switch on/off.
   2. 37" LCD full white screen appear when upgrade software.

   8. Audio loss in all inputs and can be recovered when main switch ON and OFF.
   9. TV set turn ON by itself/ green LED light up and goes off when set is ON.
   10. Intermittent audio loss in NTSC RF channel.
   11. Crack sound with high input signal.
   12. Include the possibility to download the rating table (RRT5 capability) for digital programs.
   13. No video/ no picture with sound.
   14. Intermittent On-Screen Menu pop up by itself and can be removed by pressing the 'MENU' button.
