everything works no sound but no sound.

If your Pioneer VSX-832 receiver is not producing sound even though it appears to be working otherwise, here are some troubleshooting steps to try:

1. Check Speaker Connections: Make sure the speakers are properly connected to the receiver. Verify that the speaker wires are securely inserted in both the receiver and speaker terminals, with positive and negative terminals correctly matched.

2. Verify Input Source Settings: Double-check that the correct input source is selected on the receiver. Also, confirm that the input source itself (like a Blu-ray player, TV, etc.) is producing sound by connecting it to a different audio device if possible.

3. Mute and Volume Settings: Ensure the receiver is not muted, and try increasing the volume. Sometimes, receivers can be accidentally muted, or the volume could be set to zero.

4. Audio Settings and Modes: Check if any audio settings or sound modes are incorrect. On the remote or receiver, look for any DSP (Digital Signal Processing) modes that might be activated and disable them to see if that resolves the issue. Also, go into the receiver’s settings menu and check if "Pure Direct" or similar modes (which can sometimes bypass audio processing) are enabled.

5. Factory Reset: If none of the above steps work, try resetting the receiver to its factory settings. Note that this will clear all personalized settings. To reset, turn off the receiver, then press and hold the "Power" button along with another designated button (often "Advanced Surround" or "Band") until "Reset" or similar confirmation appears on the display.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, there may be a hardware fault. In that case, reaching out to Pioneer customer support or a professional technician would be recommended.
