Volume slowly gets lower, then just silence.

Just got my FIOS installed yesterday. 2 of my boxes work fine, but the main living room one has sound issues.
When I got home from work, the picture was fine, but there was no sound.
Figuring maybe I cabled the sound cables wrong, I took out the audio cables from the TV to cable box, and reinserted them. I then rebooted the Verizon box, and after it rebooted, sound returned to normal. After about 20 minutes of watching TV, I noticed the sound was slowly getting lower. I turned the sound all the way up to see if perhaps I have mistakenly hit the volume on the remote, but the sound only went up marginally, even though I turned it to max volume. After about 5 minutes, the sound went away again completely.
I repeated the first process to troubleshoot again, and got sound to work again. I only watched TV for 15 minutes, and had no issues. before turning TV off and going to bed last night.
When I woke up this morning, I turned on the TV and sound was gone again. I again tried to remove and put audio cables back in, rebooted the box, but now sound will not return. I know the cables from TV to box are OK as they worked on the last cable box I had and they were working after the cable box reboot before the sound slowly died.
Wasn't sure if I needed a new box? I did notice when the cable box was installed, it has a little bit of snow on it (from storm in Massachusetts) so I wasn't sure if maybe the water got in the box somehow and perhaps screwed with the volume piece.
Any help would be appreciated.

At work so not in front of it right now unfortunately so I'll have to try those steps when I get home.
-I did confirm it happens on all channels as that was something i checked to make sure it just wasn't some random station. No volume to any station.
- I did note that when i unhooked the audio cables and placed them back in, if I got a loud humming noise from the TV, that's when the resetting the box would resolve the volume issue. This morning I did not get any humming noise.
-The TV settings showed normal when I looked this morning before work.
I will try to see if I can get it work through TV rather than cable to resolve the issue as suggested. I will alos try the menu suggestions
I may also switch the box with another one in my house to se if it is indeed a TV issue or a box issue.
Thank you very much for your help

  • IPhone Speaker volume is 50 % lower then new

    Hi guys
    My iPhone main output speaker is not loud. I got a new iPhone for my brother and his is 50% louder then my own when are volumes is full up.
    Is it hardware or software problem. I have it from day one June 29 works well and has not been drop not once. I try everything to fix it but still same problem

    With the variety of iPhones I have access to (mine, wifes, friends, co-workers) we have all noticed differences (like I mentioned). And me and my friend both were there day 1 and both of ours were the same (like my wifes first). When he got a new one (as he was stolen) it saw/heard differences. Then my wifes new one is like his and mine is clearly different (day 1 phone).
    In the generic sense, hardware is the same as there is a speaker, x abount of memory, attennas, etc...but a different brand of speaker while different, can allow Apple to say there have been no changes in the general sense of the statement.

  • I bought an album but 3 of the songs stop playing half way through, it's just silence. Can I get a refund and if so, how?

    Recently, I bought the Adam Barnes album and I put it on my iPod. When I started listening to it and it was great. But when it got to track 4, it played the first minute and then it was just silence for the rest of the 3 and a half minutes song. It did this again for tracks 5 and 6 too, but the other tracks are fine. I checked my iTunes and it doesn't work on there too. Has this happened to anyone else? Can I get a refund? If so, how can I get one?

  • Iphone 3g Keypad Volume Gets Low At Times

    I have a iphone 3g. When I press the keypad to make a phone call or whatever, the keypad sound just gets low. For example I press one number and it sounds fine, press the next number after that and it's low again...and so forth. This really doesn't bother me that much but I'd just thought I'd ask if anyone know of a fix to this.
    Thanks

    I have the same problem. Mine changes to a very low tapping volume usually as I type a text message - sometimes comes back to life and gets louder again in the same message. Its really annoying. Could it be a third party app interferring? Mine is not JB or unlocked - std from apple.

  • When i turn my macbook pro on I get a green apple then just a white screen

    When I turn my macbook pro on I get a green and white lined apple then just a white screen anyone help please ?

    Hey there Petecaswell,
    It sounds like you are seeing a green Apple logo, and then a white screen before the computer boots to your user. I would start by updating your computer:
    OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338
    Then if the issue persists, I would perform a PRAM reset:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Option, Command (⌘), P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on your Mac.
    Immediately press and hold the Option-Command-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.Continue holding the keys down until your Mac restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Creative Cloud Installer gets half way through downloading the desktop app then just disappears, without downloading, why is that?

    Creative Cloud Installer gets half way through downloading the desktop app then just disappears, without downloading, why is that?
    I have recently purchased a student subscription to the 'complete package', my credit card was charged.  Then I download the Creative Cloud Installer from the website, that's fine, then I double click the Creative Cloud Installer as per instructions, it starts downloading the desktop app, but only gets to about halfway then just disappears. 
    I've tried using both safari and chrome, restarting my computer, but neither has worked.
    I have noticed that the website will not keep me logged in for long either, it keeps switching to BUY instead of DOWNLOAD. 
    Any ideas?

    when i try to FaceTime on my iPod touch, and the call gets accepted it says connecting... and then just goes to FaceTime failed. this started after a 800 number called my FaceTime. i have tried putting in several other emails & on diff wifi. suggestions??
    i have also tried facetiming with several other people. the same thing has hapened every single time and it has always worked just fine until that 800 number called me.

    Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue.

  • I bought Lightroom 5 but then realized I need an earlier version or something to actually run it. I'd like to return it and then just get the monthly membership.

    Hey! I bought Lightroom 5 but then realized I need another version to actually use it. So I want to return it and then just get a monthly Lightroom membership.

    By “monthly membership” do you mean access to these forums, or paying $10/month for access to PS+LR, the Photography Plan?
    If the latter, realize that you cannot get an earlier version of LR than 5 with the monthly plan, because LR4 had no ability to check to see if it is licensed via a subscription.  This capability started with LR 5.
    If you mean you need to buy LR4 or upgrade your computer to OS X 10.7+ or Windows7+, then your only option with your current computer is to buy the obsolete LR4 on somewhere like Amazon, and make sure it is the full version not the upgrade version.
