Android TVs: No Sound

[Damien]

I have a new Sony Bravia smart TV with Pandora. Sometimes there is sound when I’m playing a song; sometimes there isn’t; it seems to take several hours for the sound to start working.

This has nothing to do with the TV’s volume, which is turned up. My wife has a second Sony Bravia smart TV downstairs (the new one is on the second floor) which has never had the sound problem. But it happened at least one since I got the new TV.

Even though we have separate Pandora accounts, the no sound issue keeps happening on my TV upstairs. I believe we set up my new TV using her Google account.

Anyone got a solution? Thanks.

Sony Bravia TV. Try this go to settings.

Go to apps.

Go to Pandora.

Go to permissions.

Go to microphone and turn it on.

Now back out and go to open and see if that worked. Now when I open from the app or the TV the sound comes on. I hope this lasts.

Thanks, Craig. For some reason the problem corrected itself!

Mine corrected itself many times but always ended up doing the same thing.
I hope this solves it but I've kind of lost faith.

Where are permission in Pandora app?. I have settings. 

Screenshot, or is this Microphone permission for TV.

This is under apps on my Sony Bravia TV.

I will try it when I get home. I dont think my 2021? Is the same.

Makea no sense to go to apps, open Pandora app and look for it. That is how it is written.

But you are saying it is in apps permissions, which is separate from tje Pandora app itself.

Ditto on an Android Sony Smart TV... frustrating. Off + On TV helps not! C'mon Pandora... you can do better!
