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, here’s what you should do.

1. Unmute the video

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

Unmute the video

Open the YouTube video that you want to watch and click on the Speaker icon. 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. If you have ever muted the YouTube website on Chrome, it will remain muted forever.

Unmute Site in Chrome Browser

Open the YouTube website and unmute the site. Open YouTube on Google Chrome and right-click on the tab. From the right-click menu, click on the Unmute site.

3. Turn Off Bluetooth on your Device

If your Bluetooth headset is connected to your PC, the sound will be audible on the headset instead of your PC’s speakers.

Chances are that the YouTube audio is playing, but you’re unable to hear it because your Bluetooth headset is connected.

Make sure to turn off the Bluetooth on your device and play the YouTube video.

4. Open YouTube in Private Browsing Mode

Chrome's Incognito Mode is not entirely 'Private', confirms Google

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

Sound problems on YouTube can even occur when your browser is not updated to the latest version. So, try updating your Chrome browser as well.

Update the Chrome Browser

To update the Google Chrome browser, click the three dots and navigate to Help > About Google Chrome. This will automatically update the Google Chrome browser on your computer.

6. Clear Cache and Cookies

Just like outdated web browsers, outdated or corrupted cache files also create problems, such as no sound output on YouTube. So, you must clear your browser’s cache and cookies to fix the problem.

Clear Cache and Cookies

To clear Chrome’s cache and data, press the CTRL+SHIFT+Delete button. On the next page, select cookies and cached images and files and click on the Clear data option.

7. Use Audio Troubleshooter

If all methods fail to fix the sound on the YouTube problem, you need to check the connected speakers. You can run the Audio troubleshooter to troubleshoot sound problems on your machine.

1. Click on the Start button and select Settings.
