No Sound on Your Streaming App? Here's What to Check
Picture with no sound at all is a different issue from sound that's just out of sync — here's where to look first.
Complete silence during playback, with picture still working, usually comes down to one of a few settings rather than a deeper problem.
Check these first
- The TV or soundbar's volume and mute status
- The correct audio output is selected in your device's settings
- The HDMI cable connection, especially if you recently unplugged anything
If you're using a soundbar
Revisit your setup with our guide on connecting a streaming device to a soundbar — audio routing between a TV and soundbar is a common source of this exact issue.
If sound plays but doesn't match the video
That's a different, separate issue — see our guide on fixing audio that's out of sync while streaming.
