I've had to cancel my youtube account from paying to free and uninstalled youtube. Seems youtube doesn't care....I've contacted them as well. I wonder how many customers they are losing as a result of this glitch?
Any suggestions other than the ones in this thread, which for me did not work, would be appreciated....thankyou.
You didn't mention your Roku model # or firmware version (Settings/System/About) or YT app version (highlight the app and press Options (*) on the remote).
Saying "i tried all..." without listing any specific attempted workarounds/solutions just isnt meaningful or useful.
1) Remove the YT app , RESTART Roku (Settings/System/System restart/Restart) <-- MUST DO THIS HERE!!!, re-install YT app - try again
2) Change Settings/Audio/HDMI=PCM Stereo & Settings/Audio/Audio Mode=Stereo - try again
3) Turn off sound modes: During playback press Options (*)/Sound settings or Volume modes=off
4) During playack: Pause/Options 2x/Play
In my situation it was check marking "Auto Leveling" sound came immediately on YouTube. Same problem as everyone else....YouTube only had no sound. While a video is playing in YouTube click the "*" on your Ruku remote. My Ruku TV then displays a list of options. Then choose "Volume Mode" it then gave me three choices "Leveling" "night" and off. As stated above I made sure that "Leveling" had a checkmark .... set to "auto" as well.
Read it, tried it, but did not work for me.
Well, ONE thing finally works. In the case of the Roku TV, you have to delete the YouTube App, then completely factory reset the TV, then reinstall the YouTube app.
A royal pain, but it works. So far.
