My Sony sound bar was working great until the other day. When I turn it on, the input indicator lights keep cycling and there is no sound. It won't connect and stay connected to the optical input. Any way to reset the sound bar?
 
Hello there.

Have you tested it using the AUX input, or connected to another optical source? You may have disabled your optical audio out?
 
That means you don't have a tv/cable box, a DVD/blu-ray or a PS3/Ps4/XBOX with optical connections either?

Usually, sound bars do not have only optical, they have an RCA or 3.5mm input? What is your soundbar model?
