During a thunderstorm my electricity went out. When the power was restored, there was no sound with my surround sound system. The receiver appeared to be fine, but no sound. The receiver is Yamaha, the speakers are JBL.

Question from Hemorrhoid : "Thunderstorm Killed My Speakers"

During a severe thunderstorm, the electricity in my home went out. When the power was restored, the speakers with my surround sound system no longer worked. The receiver was fine but no sound from the speakers. The receiver is Yamaha, the speakers are JBL.

The receiver appears to be fine but may not be.
In the set up menu there is a setting for balancing the channels that puts noise into each speaker. If you can't get any noise then the receiver is at fault. You can try to reset it but it may need to be serviced.
If you do get noise then try running the full set up. It may have been lost during the power outage. Make sure that your TV or sources have't lost their setting. If you get your audio from the TV optical out it may have defaulted to turning that off.
