TV Volume Keeps Going Up [5 Easy Solutions]

The main reasons why your TV volume keeps going up are a stuck switch, a broken remote, faulty software, faulty audio settings, and the wrong audio format.

Chances are you have at least one of these issues if your TV volume is not decreasing. Keep reading for the solutions.

1. The Switch Is Stuck

The most common reason the TV volume keeps increasing is the stuck switch button. Probably due to someone’s excitement or some accident, the volume-up button has stuck. It means the button is in the position as if it’s being pressed.

As a result, the remote sends a signal to the system to increase the volume. This is why the volume keeps rising.

Solution:

Fixing this issue means fixing that particular switch. Here’s what you can do about it,

• Locate the faulty switch
• Push that switch in with your finger and slide it back and forth and side to side. In other words, wobble the switch
• Keep doing it till the switch gets back to its position again
• If this doesn’t solve the issue, you have to get a new remote

Pro Tip: If you can’t fix the remote at the moment but don’t want the volume to increase, you can put the remote’s front away from the TV. This way, the TV won’t get the signal, and the volume won’t increase as well.

2. The Remote Control Is Broken

The internal component ( e.g. the circuit board) can be broken as well. It can malfunction, and due to this, the TV can have problems getting the basic things done.

However, if this issue occurs, you won’t only notice it in the volume rise. The brightness of the TV will increase as well.

The most annoying thing that can happen due to a broken remote is the constant change of channels. Yes, the channels will keep changing on their own if the remote is faulty.

Solution:

This issue demands a few internal modifications. No need to freak out, the process is simple. To deal with a broken remote, you have to,

• Remove the back panel of the remote
• Take out the battery, purchase a spare circuit board for the remote and replace the existing one with it.
• Put everything back on, The remote should work perfectly now. 

3. Software Issue

Your TV’s software can cause problems with the regular functionality of the TV. This type of issue can affect anything from sound to display settings. Usually, if your TV’s software is not updated, it can have such defects.

Solution:

The software issue is quite easy to deal with. You either have to update the software or get it back to its initial settings. If you already tried updating but got no result, here’s how you can get the software to its original condition,

• Turn on the TV
• Go to the “Menu” or “Home” option on your TV
• Select the “Settings”/”Installation” menu
• Here you will find the “Factory Reset” or the “First Time Installation” option
• Select this option
• Wait for the TV to get back to its original state, now the volume should stay stable. 

4. Faulty Audio Setting

The audio setting of your TV has an AVL or Auto Volume Leveller setting. This setting controls the sound production of your TV.

Incorrect programming or wrongly adjusted settings can cause your TV volume to stay high. 

You will know this is the issue if the sound suddenly boosts up when you switch to another channel, or an advertisement starts playing.

Solution:

Fixing the audio setting is easy as pie. You can do that just with the remote. Here’s how,

• Press the “Home” or “Menu” button on your remote
• Select “Settings” on the menu
• Choose “Audio” or “Sound” settings
• If the AVL is on, turn it off
• Switch to a channel to clear the menu

If AVL was the reason, your TV should be okay now.

5. Wrong Input Audio Format

The wrong audio input format is a reason often overlooked. Different type of device works on different types of audio format. If the format is not compatible with the device, your TV won’t generate the perfect sound. 

Solution:

If you don’t have a home theatre, you should not set up your TV to audio to the bitstream. This mismatch usually happens because installers assume that you have such devices. Apart from this, you can mix things up as well.

Whatever the reason may be, you have to adjust the audio format to the compatible setting. Here’s how you can do it,

• Go to “Home” or “Menu” 
• Select “Settings” in the menu
• Go to “Sound Settings” or “Expert Settings”
• Choose “HDMI Input Audio Format”
• If it’s set to bitstream, but you don’t have a home theatre, change it to PCM
• If it’s set to PCM, but you own a home theatre, change it to bitstream
• Now change the channels or simply turn off the TV, everything should be fixed by now.

Apart from these, there aren’t many things that can cause the TV volume to keep rising.
