No sound on YouTube app

Jump to solution

I am using 40’ TCL Roku TV. From yesterday evening, only YouTube app does not make any sound. Video and picture are ok, no issue. Sounds on other apps like Netflix, Sling TV, etc. are ok.

 

Only YouTube app has issue of no sound. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but situation is same.

 

Would you please let me know how to fix?

I'm having same problem.  Started 1/9/2020.  Issue is with Youtube app only.  TCL Roku tv. No sound bar.  Model #40S305.  SW Ver. 9.2.0 Build 4502-48. My workaround is to select " * " button on remote, once I've paused a stream, then hit the same " * " button a second time, then unpause the stream.  Sometimes I get a fast stuttering audio sound but it goes away.  Hpoe they fix this soon.  It's very annoying.

Fixed?! No sound on YouTube app

Jump to solution

I think I fixed it. There’s a YouTube sub-menu I could figure out how to access anywhere else. While you’re on YouTube:

1) Click a video to load it, then press the star (*) button. 

2) On that sub-menu, scroll to “Volume Mode.”

3) Get rid of leveling, turn the setting to “Off.”

 

The fix took. Stayed overnight and through several on/off cycles.

During playback of a video, press the star (*) button on the remote and scroll to “Volume mode” then change to setting to anything other than the current setting. Mine was off, I choose to change it and put it back to off. The sound was back permanently. Give it a try. Worked for me and others. Good luck.

Hi everyone, 

I have a quick update to share. Check for a system update to update the YouTube channel. If you don't see an update right away, please try the following steps: 

1. Remove the YouTube channel from the Roku home screen. 

2. Restart your TV from Settings>System>Power>System restart. 

3. Once your TV has restarted, go to 'Streaming channels' and reinstall the channel. 

 

This should help resolve the issue you were experiencing. Please keep us posted!

 

Thanks,

Tanner

I just checked and its playing for me right now.

Sometimes some of the apps do hiccup temporarily.

It might fix itself.

In the meantime check the settings within the app.

Have you paired Youtube with your Google account?

I'm having this issue too. In addition, when pressing the home button on the remote, the TV makes a freaky sound as it exits YouTube.

I’m having the exact same problem since yesterday. 

No sounds when playing the YouTube app on my TCL Roku TV! Makes a weird sound when I’m exiting the app to return back to Home screen.
