That may be due to Chrome not playing sound issues on Windows. The problem is frustrating, considering a user tries to run multiple websites to get audio feedback from the browser but in the end, gets nothing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chrome doesn&#8217;t play sound error has always existed on the browser.

If you have also encountered a situation where your Chrome won\u2019t play sound, do not worry; we have the fixes ready for you!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep reading to learn more on the same\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ways to Resolve Chrome Not Playing Sound Issue Effectively<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The issue with the audio playing capabilities of Chrome usually appears when there\u2019s either faulty hardware or the file\/website responsible for audio is corrupt. However, Chrome won\u2019t play sound if it does not support the format.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A quick restart of the application usually fixes the error. However, there are multiple fixes that one may use if the issue persists. These fixes include &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">1. Check for hardware issues on your device<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing to do when Chrome cannot play sounds is to check that the connected devices are working properly. Here\u2019s what you can do &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try using the audio hardware connected to the PC with another device. This will ensure that the connected devices are working.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try using another application to play audio, as it will help you categorize the issue, whether it is only with Chrome or not.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also check for basic connectivity issues with the device, as that is also the case, especially if you are using wired hardware.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you establish no issues with the hardware, move on to other fixes. If the issue lies in the hardware, you might have to visit the service center, as playing around with hardware is not advised.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">2. Try Switching Output Devices on your PC<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you use multiple devices to route audio, try switching between the devices on your PC. Here\u2019s how you can do it &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Task Bar, spot the speaker icon in the bottom right corner\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The selected icon will open volume controls.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may find a speaker icon near the volume controls.

Fix It<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">3. Mute and Unmute the Tab in Question<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Chrome audio is not working from a specific tab on your PC, you can try to mute and unmute it to see if it makes a difference. Usually, when you open a website that offers media, it is unmuted by default. However, some websites have a preset setting of staying on mute.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s how this can be done &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open Chrome and select the tab that is unable to play audio.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right-click on the tab to see the site status.<\/span><\/span><\/span>&nbsp;\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17826 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mute-and-Unmute-Tab-option.png\" alt=\"Mute and Unmute Tab option\" width=\"334\" height=\"407\" sizes=\"(max-width: 334px) 100vw, 334px\" \/><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">If the option says unmute, click on it, as the sound was not playing because the tab was on mute.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17827 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2023\/08\/select-mute-or-unmute.png\" alt=\"select mute or unmute\" width=\"279\" height=\"378\" sizes=\"(max-width: 279px) 100vw, 279px\" \/><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">If it says mute, mute and unmute it again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you have made the changes, reload (press F5) to refresh the tab. This should now fix the issue with the tab, and Chrome should be able to play the sound.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">4. Look for Updates in Chrome<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another factor that may help you resolve the Chrome not playing sound error on Windows is ensuring that you are using the latest version of the browser. There have been several incidents where users experienced audio and video glitches due to older versions of the browser.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To update Chrome &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open Chrome and navigate to About settings of Chrome by simply putting the following address in the URL bar &#8211;<strong> chrome:\/\/settings\/help<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chrome will automatically start looking for the latest updates as you open the page.<\/span><\/span><\/span>&nbsp;\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17828 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2023\/08\/chrome-about-setting.png\" alt=\"chrome about setting\" width=\"948\" height=\"382\" sizes=\"(max-width: 948px) 100vw, 948px\" \/><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">If there appears to be a pending update, install the same instantly, as it might be causing the audio issue on Chrome.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have recently started using the latest version of the application, try restarting it, as it may help you rectify the error.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">5. Update Audio Drivers on PC<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another reason why Chrome may be unable to play audio on your PC can be the outdated sound card driver that your PC may be using. Updating the audio driver on your PC can greatly help resolve the error.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to updating drivers, we highly recommend you use Advanced Driver Updater as it does the job for you in three easy steps &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install the application on your computer.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><div class=\"download_buttons_section\"><p style=\"text-align: justify;display:none;\" class=\"downloadnow-btn-show os-windows\" data-eventsource=\"DownloadNow_post_button\"><a data-param=\"systweakblog,wp_json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17817,pos-1,135\" data-operation=\"iframe\" class=\"ds-download-link \" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.systweak.com\/blogs\/download-product\/adu\/w\/17817\/1\" onclick=\"gtag('event', 'ProductDownloadSysBlog', { 'event_label' :'chrome-not-playing-sound-error-on-windows', 'event_category':'windows-1' });\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bg.systweak.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/plugins\/download-button-shortcode-new\/images\/window_btn.png\" alt=\"download\" width=\"250\" height=\"65\"><\/a><\/p><\/div><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scan for outdated drivers on PC.<\/span><\/span><\/span>&nbsp;\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14768 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2023\/04\/start-scan-using-advanced-driver-updater-1.png\" alt=\"start scan using advanced driver updater\" width=\"959\" height=\"744\" sizes=\"(max-width: 959px) 100vw, 959px\" \/><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on Update All to finish the process.<\/span><\/span><\/span>&nbsp;\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13183 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2023\/02\/7.-Click-on-Update-all.png\" alt=\"Click on Update all\" width=\"948\" height=\"733\" sizes=\"(max-width: 948px) 100vw, 948px\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three steps, and you are good to go!
