Q: apple tv hdmi sound stopped working
4th Gen Apple tv tvOS 9.2.1 A1625 64GB - Panasonic TV TX-P42GT60B
Following upgrade to 9.2.1 no sound on playing through Panasonic tv via hdmi. No audible clicks when using remote. Sound does work ok when playing to another airplay device but will not work via hdmi to tv.
Tried the following without success
- reset of tv
- reset of Apple tv
- disconnecting hdmi cable and then re-connecting
- replacing hdmi cable with a different cable
- changing various audio settings on apple tv - like switching Surround Sound to Stereo, changing audio mode to 16 bit
Any suggestions on how to fix would be great. Thank you!

You should confirm that ATV Audio Output is set to "Apple TV".
Do you still get video from ATV on the TV? If so then your HDMI connection is fine, because the audio is mixed in with the video. So the problem is either an ATV setting or a TV setting.
Can you try another TV input?
