Note: this is not a request for troubleshooting help.
For the past few years my 10ish year old “smart” TV will maybe once a week or so completely lose the ability to play sound in the Youtube app, and only in the Youtube app. Sound works just fine everywhere else. Bizarrely this is always triggered by an ad and never a video. Restarting the app doesn’t fix it, and neither does clearing the cache. Fortunately doing a full restart of the TV fixes it, it’s just irritating to have to restart because an ad somehow broke the sound.
What technological gremlins haunt you?
Wow. Nice group of people with old LG WebOS TVs! I have an 42LBsomething with 3D. Works fine. Sometimes the YouTube App crashes because it’s out of memory. But nowadays with all the ADs it’s barely usable anyways.
Ha, definitely a small world. Mine’s a 55UF770V.
