Same problem with my HTS8100. Little-to-no sound. Sometimes sound comes on very intermittently. I downloaded the software patch from the Philips website and installed it. This fixed the sound problem for about a week, then the problem came back. I'm not sure what else to do.

    I am having the same problem with mine too, I turn the volume up and its VERY low. I took it to a repair shop and they wanted 150$, turns out its the sound modulator modifier amplifier.. thing. Its gone bad and needs to be replaced. Probably a common problem with this unit.

    I double-checked my input/output connections on my setup and found I had a sound input cable in the wrong place coming out of my TV's media center. After I fixed the mix up, the sound started working perfectly. I'm not sure why it was intermittent before with the connections wrong, but it's fixed now.

    WELL IF ANYONE HAS ANYMORE INFORMATION ON THIS ISSUE OR HOW TO ACTUALLY FIX IT, I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW! I WILL KEEP CHECKING IN :) AS I SAID ABOVE THE REPAIR GUY SAID IT WAS A MODIFIER? NOT SURE HOW TO FIX IT YET.

Hello, that sounds a power supply problem, maybe a bad capacitor or the amplifier chip is overheating, basically the board inside needs be checked and fixed.
Thanks

How do i repair low audio on my philips soundbar hts8100/37. All connections are correct. I have to turn sound bar up to max volume to hear it. The problem is intermittent. Could it be a software problem.

My HTS8100 2 yrs ago stopped working properly, sound was on its max and little was heard. Well after searching for solutions and took it for repair which was a waste, my brother came from Australia for a holiday who is a technician and fixed it for me. The problem is in the subwoofer, I am uploading a photo where this part is , STRX6759 SANKEN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT STRX6759. Its behind that capasitor. When I changed it the sound worked. Hope you will find it useful.
