How is your cable connected to the TV? HDMI, Coaxial, Fiber Optic, etc. How is your Netflix streamed to your TV? Is it in the TV, Roku, Apple TV, etc.

If you have cable or satellite try unplugging everything connected to your cable or satellite box. Wait a minute or two, then reconnect. I had this same problem & it restored the sound on my TCL Roku TV. I have Spectrum cable.

I did not have tv sound, but Netflix sound on my TCV roku tv. I unplugged the HDM! cable and the power cord to the back of the cable box. I came back a few minutes later and plugged them both back in. Success!!
