MeTV only channel with no sound

I have the X1 system with three TVs

For the last few weeks the MeTV network has no sound. The picture is fine. The closed captions work and the SAP is set to English. All the other channels have the normal picture and sound.

Other TVs in the house have the same problem.

I’ve also reset the SAP settings via the Xfinity menu.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I just noticed another channel, 203, doesn’t have sound. So, I have now found two channels, 203 and 208, that have no sound. Maybe more if I check every channel.

SAP has 'no' language, set it off (no check mark). 

edit: the UI (user interface) can be confusing. hit the Xfinity button on the remote >> gear (settings)  >> Device Settings >> Audio >> audio language (SAP) reset and reset. that is the only way to turn off the SAP at the moment.

Hi Rustyben, I did the reset as you described and there is still no sound on the two channels.
Thanks anyway.

There are 3 gray circles for video description, SAP and CC. None of them have a check mark. They are gray circles with with text.

to test for a local broadcast problem, do you have sound with a smart phone/device?

Thanks for your help. I checked it today and it is working. Perhaps we’ll never know the cause.

Nothing succeeds like success!
