Sound missing on Chrome Browser


bobsea43

Recommended Posts

I have Win 7 Home Premium on my PC and I use the current edition of Chrome for my browser. Recently, it started muting any audio clip I played after playing it for a few minutes! You can see on the display sound is still playing, but there is no audio. If I put on headphones I can still hear it, but not over the speakers.

I thought I would ask here for an answer, otherwise I will have to prep it and take it to a repair shop. But maybe there is a simple fix. If I shut the computer down and restart it the audio plays but again for a minute or two then silences!

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

 

Edit: Clarify two things

1. I am talking about audio portion of video. I don't have any audio only files to play.

2. I just tried it on IE which I don't normally use and same results. In fact it did not play at all since I have not restarted the computer. But, I can see the visual display of sound working fine!

Are you using external speakers or built in speaker in the computer. If you are using external speakers, I would check the speaker connection and make sure it is secure. The symptom you describe could be cause by a loose connection.

Pieere,

On this computer F7 increases screen brightness and F8 has an antenna icon. However, I tried them both with no change in my problem. The speaker icon will give me the volume mixer when I right click and it shows the lines jumping up and down with a audio is playing but still no sound. I tried some of the controls with no change. (I had previously tried these but tried again) I alao looked at the other F buttons for one with a speaker icon - no luck.

 

Chad,

I am using the built in speakers. However, when i hook up a headset with USB cord the headset plays the sounds fine. Don't have a set of external speakers to see it they work.

 

Thanx for the suggestions!

Wildmandmc,

Thanx for your input. When I right click the horn I get a dialog box that includes sound and when I select that it brings up the dialog box for speaker properties. I see no external/internal selection but I can set up and test speakers and the device manager for speakers is there too. All tests were successful and the device manager says speakers are working properly but still no sound!

 

As usual this AM when I started up the computer I had sound for several minutes but then the lips kept moving and the sound bar kept dancing but no sound from the speakers!!

Are you sure the problem is only with Chrome? If you go to Control Panel and use the Sounds app to directly play the standard Windows sounds do they play at a normal volume? You could have a crack in a circuit board component that only acts up once the board has warmed up.

thanx for your input. As mentioned I have same problem with IE and since starting the thread I have opened the sound app and tried that and no sounds come out but the visual display that shows sound is being made does work showing sounds! Visual display = the bar with volume control.

Headphones continue to work!

I have a similar problem with my PC, it will occasionally not play any sound through the speakers, but will work using a bluetooth speaker or corded headphones or line in device. It's worse using Chrome and if I change over to IE, then the sound works fine. I am using windows 10.
