How to fix the no sound issue when watching YouTube videos
 

Method 1: Make sure the sound on your computer is turned on.

Sometimes, the reason for the lack of sound when watching YouTube videos might be that you accidentally muted the sound on your computer or device without remembering.

To fix the problem, check if the speaker icon in the system tray has an X on it. If it does, the speakers are muted. Simply turn the speakers back on, or increase the volume and see if you can hear the YouTube video.
 

Method 2: Make sure you don't mute the video.

If you watched the previous video with the sound muted, all subsequent videos will also be muted, causing a sound loss issue when watching videos on YouTube.

On the YouTube video you're watching, click the speaker icon to unmute the sound, or use the M shortcut key to mute/unmute the video on YouTube.
 

Method 3: Browsing in incognito mode

Audio-related issues and errors are often due to system configuration. However, sometimes the cause of these errors can also be due to browser issues or errors, such as an overloaded browser cache, etc.

To fix the issue of no sound when watching YouTube videos, try browsing in incognito mode and reopening the YouTube video to see if the sound is now available. When browsing in incognito mode, all browsing history and cache files are cleared.

- In the Chrome browser , click the three vertical dots icon in the upper right corner of the screen, then select "New Private Window" . Next, open the YouTube video and check if there is sound.

- In the Firefox browser , click the three horizontal lines icon in the upper right corner, then select New Private Window .

 

Method 4: Use a different browser

If the issue of the sound not cutting out on YouTube videos persists even when browsing in incognito mode, try using a different web browser to open the video and see if the problem remains.
