My esteemed listmates,

It seems every could of years tech cos decode to make sound an issue on
your laptop W PC.

2 days ago I watched an instructional YT video and NBA game highlights on
espn.

Today - no sounds.

I followed all the steps below.

It's united on the "loudspeaker" icon on the taskbar.

It's at 60% on the Volume Mixer in Settings > Sound.

It's unmuted on the YT and espn video box with the volume up as high as
possible.

This is try in FF and Brave.

I opened FF in Troubleshooter Mode and still no sound.

I've tried to watch YT vdes for the vdoe to correct this but they're taking
more than showing so not much help.

Has anyone suddenly list audio for online videos?

Thank you.

Charles.

AI Overview
When audio stops working suddenly across all browsers, it is usually caused
by a muted application in your system volume mixer, a mismatched audio
output device, or a temporary browser glitch.
1. Check the System Volume Mixer
Your browser might have been accidentally muted at the operating system
level.

   - *For Windows:* Right-click the *Speaker icon* in the bottom-right
   corner of your taskbar and select *Open volume mixer* (or *Sound
   settings*). Look for your browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) under the
   *Apps* section. Ensure it is not muted and the volume slider is turned
   up.
   - *For Mac:* Open *System Settings* > *Sound*. Click on *Output* and
   make sure the correct speakers or headphones are selected and not muted.

2. Check the Browser and Tab Settings
Individual sites or tabs can be muted within the browser itself.

   - *Unmute the tab:* Right-click the browser tab playing the video. If
   the site is currently muted, the option will say *Unmute site*.
   - *Check global browser audio settings:* If you are using Google Chrome,
   paste chrome://settings/content/sound into the address bar and verify
   that *Sites can play sound* is turned on.

3. Change Audio Output Device
If you frequently switch between headphones, speakers, or Bluetooth
devices, your browser may be routing audio to the wrong device.

   - Click the speaker icon in your system tray and check the dropdown menu
   above the volume slider to ensure your current, active listening device is
   selected.

4. Clear Cache and Restart
Temporary glitches can block audio playback. Try fully closing your browser
and reopening it. If the issue persists, clear your browser's cache and
cookies via the settings or history menu.
