How do I fix the sound on my Fire Stick?

1. Check your TV settings

  1. Make sure the audio on your TV isn’t muted.
  2. If your Fire TV device is connected to an A/V receiver, make sure the receiver is on.
  3. Select Settings and go to Display & Sounds.
  4. Next, select Audio from the Fire TV menu.
  5. And make sure Dolby Digital Plus is set to OFF.

If your Amazon Fire Stick menu won’t load from the first go, don’t worry. We prepared a few quick and easy fixes for you.

2. Inspect your hardware

If you’re using an HDMI cable to connect your Fire TV device to your TV, try unplugging and plugging it back in again.

Additionally, you may need to replace the HDMI cable altogether.

More so, a bad Amazon Fire Stick can also be an issue.

3. Check your Internet connection

The speed of your Internet can also be a problem, as most content requires about 3 Mbps to function normally.

As such, consider upgrading to a better Internet subscription if available.

4. Confirm if the power is low or if there are frequent power outages

Being low on power means that the Fire Stick will be slower than normal, and it can also cause possible reboots when it tries to do intensive processing.

This means you should consider doing a check on your home’s power grid, or at least the outlets powering your TV.

If you are facing this problem, also consider changing the screen resolution of videos to a lower one, so that the Fire Stick can handle it more easily on low power.

5. Perform a quick reboot on your Fire Stick

Simply disconnect the power cord from the back of the TV for around 60 seconds, and then plug it back in.

6. Uninstall and reinstall the app

  1. Navigate to the Fire TV Home Screen.
  2. Open Settings and select Applications.
  3. Go to Manage Installed Applications.
  4. Select the app that’s not working and press Uninstall.
  5. Finally, reinstall the app from the Fire Stick Home Screen.

Some people have an app issue that can only be fixed by deleting and reinstalling the particular app, so follow the steps above.

So, is your Firestick volume low? If that’s the case, this is how to fix audio on Firestick. In addition to solving Amazon Fire Stick volume issues, the solutions can also help if the Amazon Fire TV stick is not connecting properly.
