Last night I was all excited to be home, two days off. Threw on my headset and listened to Fox about Bronx rally. Was in the middle of prepping veggies and fruits for the week, when sound went out. Oh well, figured I'd fix after finishing in kitchen. So, all things prepped for week and in appropriate freezer or fridge. Came into room to check tv/headset. TV fine, captioning going just right. No headset working. Tried pairing my SkullCandy wireless with tv, no go. Put in hearing aids to check speakers on TV, couldn't hear anything, but didn't want to wake roommate, so didn't put past 10 and not sure hearing aids would pick that up.
Moved to living room to watch 'little tv' with different headset-worked for 10 minutes, then pffft! That I understood, headset if over 10 years old and no longer holding charge. The speakers on that I could pick up working, so problem was my 'new' bigger screen in my room.
Around 4am I ordered new headset for my room and new headset/transmitter/receiver for old tv. Coming tomorrow-Saturday.
So, all morning trying to get sound, no luck. Figure out genius that I am. that a new headset isn't going to fix this. So playing around with all sorts of youtube/reddit/vizio ideas. Rebooted tv, took off optical cable and wiped and plugged in. Then unplugged everything with tv-lots of crap. Suddenly...SOUND! Headset working, speakers working! Why the F didn't I just unplug everything at 2am? Nonetheless, all set for new stuff tomorrow. I needed new headset in my room, I use constantly. Like I said, the other is really old and it was time.
