Hi,
A strange issue on my HW K430 soundbar that started this morning as I swtiched the tv on. The soundbar automatically mutes itself no matter what I do or what input I select. So for tv, I cycle to D.In, it then displays the volume level and the TV sound is coming through the bar but after it times out back to D.In it mutes itself and the only way to unmute it is to turn the volume either up or down, then when it times out again to display D.In it mutes again.
I've tried unplugging everything, tried a different optical cable that I know is working fine, tried it on another tv, same issue, and taken the battery out of the remote etc, but nothing helps, I still get the same problem. The hard buttons on the end aren't working either with the exception of the source cycle button.
If anyone has any experience or knowledge of this I'd be really grateful to hear about it!
Thanks in advance!

I’m having the same issue and the repairs are too expensive. How did you open it? Did you pry it from the sides?

If I remember correctly there was a lot of things just stuck on with adhesive. But I definitely just started pulling out all screws I could find, and print off anything that was stuck on with adhesive like the rubber feet or something. I don't think they're was (much?) Prying

Did you fix the problem yet?
if not then heres what to do:
remove the screws to open the back panal
there is a ribbon cable beside the where the power cable plugs in, disconnect the ribbon cable.
you wont be able to use the buttons on the sideof the speakers but the problem will be gone and the speakers will work fine.

Reply to Bozay: I have the KW550 soundbar (or similar name). I don't know how you figured this one out. But thanks, it worked like a charm. This saved me at least a couple hundred bucks for a new soundbar. Note: the manual control buttons on the end of the soundbar no longer work. But no worries. I didn't even know they were even there. Thanks again.

Amazing, followed instructions, removed 6 screws, no glue around the edge, so came off quite easy, gently pulled and unclipped the ribbon, re screwed the back and works absolutely fine.
Thank you saved me a few hundred pounds for a new sound bar, I never used the side buttons on the actual unit anyway.
Thanks again.

Meu soundbar k-450 estava sempre ativando o mute e os botões da lateral não estavam funcionando.
Quando abri o meu k-450 estava com a trava do cabo flat aberta. Removi o cabo e passei um limpa contato conectei o cabo e fechei a trava, resolveu o problema, todos os botões estão funcionando perfeitamente.
