Mary, pc or phone?
I use a pc, and do not have a problem, there was nothing at the help center.
Any special drama you watched having the problem?

For me using a laptop, sometimes while carrying it from a to b, I touch the silence button unintentionally, but I guess that isn’t your problem other platforms like YouTube do have sound?

P.S.: Your profile picture? Is that Mary K. - LOL, at least it looks like it, I was collecting some in my childhood, not many those stickers weren’t cheap, and I preferred popsicles to stickers.

I just thought of another mute option …
Mary try this play the video, and while the video is running press the letter ā€œmā€.
Any change?

Well you must have hit the m-button before, you can try:
one time - mute
second time - sound is back

I fault my fingers at times, they are doing their own stuff …
Good that it’s working again.

This is kind of weird because for a few days this muted situation has been going on for a while. My TV goes mute and I have to turn off/on the TV before it comes back on. When I’m on YT for days now, the drama videos go mute out of the blue. I’m 100% sure I didn’t press no mute button.

You mention this here, and this morning news went mute on me! I found out that I can change channel go back several times and the ā€˜ā€˜voice’’ returns. I hope we are not getting hacked or something like it happened at La Guardia Airport (don’t have the details since @leerla73 works there she might know).

So this thing is starting to bug me bc they are not saying what is going on in here. I just hope it gets resolve soon bc the fact that the regular TV channel is being affected is making me uneasy now…:anguished:

Nope, never heard anything on my spot at the bottom of the totem pole. Based on the links below, it was unsuccessful.

Cable TV is removing some channels and it seems that’s causing the issue on my TV (I’m also not able to see my favorite channel completely/black screen). But I have other places I can see the channel; so I just need to adjust my viewing place. That’s life. Thanks for the informative links
