For me, it doesn't work when I use a VPN on my phone. With the VPN turned off it works.
I seem to have fixed mine
after updating I pad and tv
it still didn’t work until I turned both off and back on again
Hello Danny,
I’d like to add another possible solution to private listening not working:
ExpressVPN was the culprit on my iPhone which was preventing private listening from working when I updated to iOS 15.7.
When I disabled ExpressVPN, private listening worked fine.
I also wonder if other third party VPN’s may also be a potential cause for this issue.
I spent a lot of time since 15.7 was released trying to solve this issue. I hope this helps others who may encounter similar or the same issue. If nothing else works, it might be your VPN.

I’ve been using this fix successfully everytime I lose audio for private listening. I don’t hear the audio but the headphone symbol is active. The solution is as simple as closing the app I’m in, open Hulu and switching Private Listening and it works, then switch back to the app I was using, YouTube TV and the private listening will work there too.

I’ve been having this issue watching YouTube TV. However what I did was change to Hulu and the sound worked fine. When I opened YouTube tv again the private listening also worked there .
Worked for me, thanks
Thank you Cindy! You are a genius...
