Sound cuts out on 3 channels only after 1 second

The sound cuts out on only 3 of my channels after 1 second. There are no external devices connected to the TV. I completed the sound test (Suport > Self Diagnosis > Sound Test) on the 3 channels with the problem as well as a channel that doesn't have the problem and that didn't show any problems. Any thoughts? Thank you

Update (02/07/2016)

The TV is A Samsung 32 in flat screen, model UN32H5500AFXZA. The channels are not on the same network, however they are 3 of the 5 local channels (I don't need cable to access them, although I'm receiving them through my cable connection; I'm not having any issues with the other 2 local channels). You asked if I rescanned the channels. I didn't rescan, however I deleted all channels then added them. I wonder if deleting all of them then rescanning would make a difference. I'll try that. Thanks.

@mhellman what model is your TV? Just to make sure that I understand you correctly. You are losing sound on 3 channels only, not the rest of the channels?

Hi,

Do the 3 channels belong to the same network? Have you tried rescanning your TV channels?

The TV might be on the SAP sound mode. It needs to be switched to Stereo. Same thing happened to my Samsung. You can switch by pressing the MTS button on the remote until it switches from SAP to stereo. Or by going into the menu and Sound then multi track option.
