Fortunately, there are several simple ways to fix this problem. First, click on the speaker icon on the bottom of the video to enable the sound. Then, you can expand the volume slider by hovering your mouse over the icon. To increase the volume, move the slider to the right.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incompatible_extensions\"><\/span>Incompatible extensions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re experiencing no sound when watching YouTube videos, it&#8217;s likely that you have an incompatible extension. To solve this, try disabling your extensions in the browser or using the incognito mode to disable them altogether. If neither of these options works, try running a troubleshooter built into Windows. Then, follow these instructions to fix the problem:<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve tried disabling your audio, you&#8217;ll notice that the video no longer plays. Most likely, you&#8217;ve installed a faulty add-on. To resolve the problem, remove the faulty add-on. To test if your browser&#8217;s audio drivers are the culprit, open an incognito window and play the video. If you have the same problem with other videos, uninstall the incompatible extension and try again.<\/p>\n<p>If none of the above fixes work, try clearing your device&#8217;s cache. This will clear the cache and make YouTube play correctly. If you&#8217;re still experiencing no sound while watching YouTube videos, you should also clear your browser&#8217;s data. This will also remove any incompatible extensions. However, the problem will still persist if the incompatible extensions are still present. The best solution is to uninstall the incompatible extension and re-install the one that works.<\/p>\n<p>If none of the above fixes resolve the issue, you can download the videos from YouTube and play them with a video player. If you don&#8217;t have a video player, you can download the videos to your computer and play them with an external one. You can also try other browsers to play YouTube videos without sound. You&#8217;ll be glad you did! The solution is simple! And if none of them work, try the next one.<\/p>\n<p>If the above methods don&#8217;t work, you may also be using an outdated Adobe Flash Player. Another possible reason for YouTube to show you no sound is that your graphics card is outdated and incompatible with your web browser. You may also need to upgrade your browser or hardware acceleration. If none of these fixes do the trick, you should try the other three. When you have resolved the first issue, you should try clearing the cookies and cache in your web browser.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Muted_YouTube_player\"><\/span>Muted YouTube player<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you use YouTube on your computer, you may be able to play videos without any sound at all. By default, the sound on YouTube videos is muted, but you can toggle the audio settings to enable sound or unmute all videos. Likewise, you can mute all YouTube videos with headphones, which is useful if you want to concentrate on the video and not on background noise. To turn on the audio on your computer, use the settings menu, then select &#8216;audio&#8217; from the audio menu.<\/p>\n<p>To enable muted playback in feeds, go to the general settings page and click the fifth option from the top. You can then choose whether to enable it automatically, only when connected to Wi-Fi, or disable it altogether. If you&#8217;re not interested in using muted playback, simply disable it and continue browsing for videos. The change will be effective immediately. This is an extremely useful feature. It will keep you from wasting precious bandwidth on unwanted content while browsing videos.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the settings menu, you can mute YouTube videos by opening the Sound Manager application. To mute audio on YouTube, press the&#8217;mute&#8217; key located at the bottom right corner of the screen. When you&#8217;ve clicked this option, the audio icon should change from blue to gray. You can then adjust the volume, or unmute the audio in YouTube. If this doesn&#8217;t work, you can use alternative applications for this purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Another solution to unmute YouTube videos is to update your system audio drivers. This will automatically fix the muted issue, preventing any future audio issues. You can also try switching to a different browser, such as Firefox. It&#8217;s best to check the audio drivers of your system to ensure that they are working properly. A good way to fix muted YouTube videos is to install a browser that supports sound. If all else fails, you should install a dedicated app for YouTube.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w5Tdsk0X5yU\" height=\"262\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"469\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Do I Have No Sound on YouTube?
