3 Easy Steps To Get Your Sound Working Again in Microsoft Edge

We shall be exploring the issue of no sound in Microsoft Edge.

But first, it’s worth noting that Microsoft Edge has evolved from a list of Microsoft browsers, most notably Internet Explorer 11. For OS like Windows 10 and 11, it is the most compatible, and this has increased its relevance in recent years.

Among its many great features, is its syncing mechanism that makes it possible to work across devices without missing a single thing. Other than this, its UI offers a lot of features that make it endearing. Among these are its collections, vertical tabs, and smart copy.

In spite of its many useful features, just like every modern tech, it is not without its flaws and the occasional need for troubleshooting.

Let us now turn our attention to trouble shooting sound issues in this browser. Remember that you can fix general Microsoft Edge problems on Windows 11 in a few clicks.

How do I find audio settings in Edge?

1. On your Taskbar, right-click on the volume icon at the bottom right.
   
2. From the options, select Open Volume Mixer.
   
3. Under the Apps section of your volume mixer settings, you should see settings for Microsoft Edge browser.
   

You will be able to adjust the volume here, set what devices are used for different sound functions and more.

While these settings give you some flexibility, you will not be able to resolve every Microsoft Edge issue here.

Some common audio issue users have encountered include YouTube audio errors and audio cut out errors.

How can I fix my sound not working in Microsoft Edge?

1. Tab unmuting

1. Launch Microsoft Edge.
2. Navigate to YouTube and play a video (Or play a video or audio from any other web service).
3. Right-click on the tab with the playing video or audio.
   
4. Select Unmute tab.
   

This solution works usually if this audio is caused from a previously muted tab. It is also the most efficient way of switching between tabs and determining which audios you listen to at a particular time. This fix is efficient when there is no sound on YouTube while using Microsoft Edge.

2. Make sure Edge volume is not muted

1. On your Taskbar, right-click on the volume icon at the bottom right.
   
2. From the options, select Open Volume Mixer.
   
3. Under the Apps section of your volume mixer settings, you should see settings for Microsoft Edge browser. Here, drag the slider to 100 for maximum volume.
   

This is a useful way of getting augmented volume if Microsoft Edge sounds low. It is also useful with other devices and will work if you have no sound in Microsoft Edge Xbox one devices.

When the volume is at 0, it means that it is totally muted, and 100 means it is at maximum.
