8 Best Ways to Fix No Sound On YouTube

Watching videos without sound could be annoying, as, without sound, you could miss out on a considerable amount of content. So, if you are not able to hear any sound in YouTube videos, you can expect some help here.

This article will share some of the best methods to fix YouTube video playback with no sound problems. Let’s check out the methods.

1. Unmute the video

If you are watching a video in mute mode on YouTube, all sound features will be disabled. So, before trying any other method, ensure the video is not muted on YouTube.

Open the YouTube video that you want to watch and click on the Speaker icon, as shown in the screenshot above. This will unmute all videos on YouTube.

2. Unmute Site in Chrome Browser

The latest version of the Google Chrome browser allows you to mute separate tabs. So, if you have ever muted the YouTube website on Chrome, it will remain muted forever.

In this method, we would need to open the YouTube website and unmute the site. For that, open YouTube on Google Chrome and right-click on the tab. From the right-click menu, click on the ‘Unmute site’ option.

3. Turn Off Bluetooth on your Device

The reason for turning off Bluetooth is pretty simple: to disconnect all connected Bluetooth devices.

Chances are that the YouTube audio is playing, but you’re unable to hear it because your Bluetooth headset is connected. So, make sure to turn off the Bluetooth on your device and play the YouTube video.

4. Open YouTube in Private Browsing Mode

If you use Google Chrome to watch YouTube videos, try playing the videos in Incognito mode. The private browsing mode of modern web browsers disables all extensions/addons.

If the sound is still not working on YouTube, chances are that certain extensions are conflicting with YouTube’s functionality.

You can eliminate such probabilities by opening the YouTube video in the private browsing mode of your web browser. Or else, turn off all extensions/addons installed on your web browser and then play the video.

5. Update the Chrome Browser

Sometimes, sound problems on YouTube occur when your browser is not updated to the latest version. So, you can try updating your Chrome browser.
