TV audio boards handle decoding, amplification, and speaker output for immersive sound. Failures silence entire systems—common in Nairobi from power surges frying ICs. Prologic-Technicians at Luthuli Avenue disassemble back panels to access multilayer boards packed with DSPs, codecs, and Class-D amps. Burnt SMD resistors create channel dropouts; capacitor shortages mute bass response. Static tests confirm faults before invasive work begins.
Overdriven speakers from action movies stress output stages. Firmware glitches lock boards in mute mode. Prologic uses audio analyzers to generate sine sweeps, revealing distortion profiles.
Common Audio Failures
No sound across all inputs signals main DSP failure. Left/right imbalance points to amp channel faults. Crackling during volume changes indicates pot failures. Low volume despite max settings reveals power stage limits.
HDMI ARC handshakes fail, blocking soundbars. Nairobi humidity corrodes connectors, dropping signals intermittently.
Diagnostic Procedures
Signal injectors trace audio paths from tuner to speakers. Oscilloscope captures PWM waveforms from Class-D amps. Spectrum analyzers quantify THD below 0.1%. Logic probes decode I2S data buses between codecs and DSPs.
Thermal scans identify runaway regulators heating boards.
Repair Techniques Deployed
IR reflow stations revive BGA audio processors without delamination. Ultrasonic soldering replaces microscopic connectors. DSP firmware reflashing via JTAG restores Dolby/DTS decoding. Output filter networks rebuilt with film capacitors for cleaner highs.
Shielding tape eliminates ground loop hums plaguing Nairobi apartments.
Advanced Audio Solutions
Multi-channel matrix rebuilds support eARC 7.1.4 Atmos. Bluetooth module resync fixes wireless headphone dropouts. Woofer driver analysis prevents voice coil damage post-repair.
Prologic calibrates SPL to 85dB reference levels.

Why Prologic Leads Audio Repair
Certified technicians trained on Bang & Olufsen reference systems. Genuine OEM chips avoid counterfeit failures. Post-repair burn-in tests run 24 hours at full volume. Nairobi power conditioning advice prevents repeats.
They handle soundbar boards, AV receivers too—complete home cinema solutions.
Prevention and Maintenance
Voltage stabilizers essential for audio circuits. Clean speaker grilles quarterly prevents dust vibration. Firmware updates patch codec bugs. Avoid max volume >2 hours daily.
Balance TV speakers with soundbar calibration mics yearly. Prologic offers audio health checks at KES 2,000 including SPL mapping.
Sound Quality Transformation
Post-repair, dialogue clarity jumps 40%; bass definition tightens without boominess. Spatial imaging places effects accurately in 3D space. Gaming headsets sync perfectly via low-latency modes.
Sports commentary cuts through crowd noise cleanly. Music modes reveal studio mastering details lost in original faults.
Prologic documents before/after frequency responses, proving cinema-grade restoration. Nairobi’s variable grid demands their surge-hardened rebuilds—expect 5+ years reliable audio post-service.
