Fix: One app has no sound

If only one app has no sound, the app may be muted, using the wrong output, stuck, blocked by permissions, or affected by its own audio settings.

Quick answer

Restart the app, check in-app volume or mute settings, check system volume mixer, then update or reinstall the app if needed.

Important warning

Some apps have their own audio output setting, separate from the system default output.

Try this

  1. 1 Close and reopen the app.
  2. 2 Check whether audio works in another app.
  3. 3 Check the app's own mute, volume, or audio output settings.
  4. 4 On Windows, open Volume mixer and make sure the app is not muted.
  5. 5 On phone or tablet, restart the device.
  6. 6 Update the app.
  7. 7 Clear app cache if available.
  8. 8 Reinstall the app if the problem only happens there.

Common causes

What to check next

  • Check whether other apps play sound.
  • Check in-app audio settings.

FAQ

Why does only one app have no sound?

That app may be muted, using a different output, stuck, outdated, or blocked by app-specific settings.

Can a browser tab be muted?

Yes. Browser tabs can be muted individually, which makes one website silent while everything else works.

Where do I check app volume on Windows?

Open Volume mixer and check whether the specific app is muted or set very low.
