Yep just noticed this as well. YouTube has no sound. Netflix does have sound but is intermittent and starts lagging. Have hard reset the tv and YouTube app several times and YouTube will sometimes work for a few minutes. Someone please help.....

I have the same problem! If you tap the settings key a few times, go up and down the settings list, and go back to the YouTube video you're trying to watch, it should do the trick. I have to do it for each new video, so it's a fix we shouldn't have to do. Hope this helps!

I usually got it to work by constantly changing the volume before and as the video is loading. So start changing the volume, then click the video, and keep changing until it starts playing.

I’ve also found that if all your videos are in a playlist, like your watch later, then when it automatically goes to the next video it still works and has sound.

I also got my YouTube app to produce sound by following ScottC2019’s advice and it worked like a charm. 

However, the process is quite tedious and you would have to do it for each video that you’re trying to play which is annoying. That being said, this is the best temporary fix until the app gets updated or fixed.

...and Uh did any of you bother to file a bug report?

Answer: NO

 

You can press on the Star key (*) on the app and report it.

I’m also having the same issue On my TCL Roku TV. YouTube puts out no sound. It only makes a weird noise when exiting the YouTube app. However, Netflix is working fine.

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.
