No sound or sound out of sync
Try these one at a time. After each step, check if it's fixed.
-
Check the basics
Make sure the TV isn't muted and the volume is up. Try another channel: if only one channel has the problem, it's likely that channel. Tell us which one.
-
Restart the app and device
Unplug your Fire TV or TV box from the power for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. While it restarts, also restart your modem/router the same way. This clears up most problems.
-
Turn off audio passthrough
If you use a soundbar or receiver, go to Settings โ Playback in our app and turn audio passthrough off. This fixes most "no sound" problems on soundbars.
-
Switch the audio decoder
In Settings โ Playback, change the audio decoder setting (hardware โ software) and try again.
-
Fix out-of-sync sound
Change channels and come back, which re-syncs the stream. If it keeps drifting, also check your TV or soundbar's own AV sync / lip sync setting.
๐ Great, glad that worked!
If it happens again, you know where to find this. Fix another problem or go home.
