The built-in microphone doesn't seem to work and the TV fails to react when I say OK Google.

Note for X77L_X78L series: To use this feature, you may need to press the Google Assistant (MIC) button on the remote control four times until a pop-up message appears. If a pop-up message appears, select Yes, I'm in.

1. Check the Built-in MIC Switch status on the TV body. If it is set to OFF, set it to ON. If it is set to ON, set it to OFF, and then back to ON again.
   
   Note: The location of the Built-in MIC Switch button differs depending on the model. There are two possible options (As of May 2025):
   

   • A: If you're facing the front of the TV, the switch is on the left side. Remove the cover on the back left side of the rear panel. If you see a label that says 'BUILT-IN MIC SWITCH,' the switch is just to the left of that label. To turn the built-in microphone on, slide the switch up.
   • B: Located at the bottom center of the TV screen. To turn on the Built-in MIC switch, slide the switch right.
2. Make sure the Hands-free mic is set to On.
