I’m not getting any sound from 7mate. I have video, but no sound. All the other channels are fine, just 7mate. Ideas?

I have the same issues as Scott. It is also with GEM. Does anyone have ideas on how to fix this?

We don’t have any sound either. Video is great, but not much fun without sound. Is it my TV, or is it a broadcasting problem?
