My newly purchased Syncmaster 940MW sometimes does not put out any sound. It lasts anywhere from 5 minutes to hours, and suddenly comes back. Its in TV mode, and it effects all the channels. Nothing I seem to do makes the sound return. (And no, I don't have the mute button on.)
It seems to work again if I just turn the volume, rapidly, up quite high and down quickly (and repeat) for a bit. Sound seems to come back then
I've just been having this problem (sound cutting out every now and then) and decided to get round it by plugging in some speakers to the headphone socket. While doing it I noticed that the in-built speakers would sprang back into life. Since doing this and getting the sound back I've noticed it hasn't cut out again.
I think there might be a problem in some units with the bit that cuts off the in-built speakers when you plug in external speakers. My proposed solution is to prod a mini-jack from anything into the appropriate socket (on the left of the TV) and wiggle it around until the sound springs back.

Yes, I have this problem too. I just bought the damn thing!
I have had the same problem. Only differance is that I run a freeview box though my 940 mw. I thought it was that playing up. Also I all the keys are locked on the unit itself. The remote works everything but when I press any buttons on the monitor you get a 'keys locked info' up on screen. Its doing my head in!!!

NO sound at all
Have the exact same problem. Started about 2 days ago and just happens randomly. It can disappear for hours. I've tried changing the sound output settings, turning it off for a few minutes, changing picture source, making sure all the connections are in at the back firmly etc;
I have the monitor 13 months now and this is the first trouble I've had with it. Anyone have any ideas?
i can get sound when i hook a playstation up but when used as a tv i cant get any?
I lose sound on the PC after plugging a transmitter for remote speakers in to the headset jack. I tried deleting the sound driver, replacing it with the latest download and restarting the computer. This worked, but the problem repeated itself twice, and it didn't work the third time. I am at my wits end. I have tried all the usual things, I even did a system restore back to the latest checkpoint. Everything appears to be working in the onscreen displays for the hd audio bus, but the "test" doesn't give any sound. This is a bummer. Any help out there?
Im trying to hook my XB360 to it using a VGA cable. i dont have a speaker adapter. i put the red/white audio cables in the L/R on the component side. But i get no sound. Is there any way to switch the sound input? i cant find any online manuals for this monitor.
I found a solution - at least for my situation! Under Vista, so I don't know if this would work for other OpSys. Right click on the speaker symbol and click on "sounds.". Click on "Playback". Right click on "speakers." Click on "configure speakers". Reset configuration to "Quadraphonic:" Click on "test" or click on speakers to test. If it plays, reset to "stereo" and you are fixed. If it doesn't play, Select "Next" and test those speaker symbols. Return to the original and retest, then reset to stereo. Works for me, but I sure had to write all the steps down. Good Luck.

The same problem, when viewing TV - sound sometimes on, sometimes off, no matter what I do. At first I thought there was an antenna (analog cable) problem, since the sound seemed to come back after pushing the antenna plug in and out or fiddling with it. Then I thought it was some electronic contact inside, it worked after and at one time the buttons on the monitor/TV were out of function, and I had to turn it on and off via remote. The butons came to life with no apparent reason one day.
