Having trouble with no sound in your ARC Browser? First, check if you have selected the right speakers or headphones in Windows, from the volume icon on your taskbar. Many users have had this problems because they accidentally muted the toolbar in Arc, or it opened muted. So, check the sidebar and see if the tab is muted. You can unmute it with a single click.
For some, the issue is only present when you switch tab during the the countdown of a video (on YouTube). To fix the problem, just reload the tab or close it and open a new YouTube tab.
1. Update your audio drivers
Updating your audio drivers can resolve compatibility issues that might cause audio problems in ARC Browser, ensuring you have the latest fixes and enhancements.
3. Adjust Volume in Background Music (for Mac users)
Using Background Music ensures that the ARC Browser’s volume is properly set, which is common when system-wide volume control interferes.
4. Reconfigure HDMI Audio (for external output audio)
Ensuring that your HDMI connections and settings are correct can fix any signal issues that prevent audio from being sent through ARC.
5. Clear Cache and Data (on Android TV)
Clearing the cache and data can solve issues related to outdated or corrupted settings that might prevent audio from being output through ARC.
6. Use a high-speed HDMI Cable
Using a high-speed HDMI cable ensures that your connection supports the ARC/eARC features, which are essential for proper audio communication.
7. Power reset your devices (for external audio problems)
A power reset can solve temporary glitches or software hang-ups that may prevent ARC from functioning correctly.
8. Use Device Manager to re-enable an audio device
Re-enabling the audio device can resolve conflicts and refresh the device settings, which often resolve the no-sound issue.
9. Check HDMI Control Settings
Proper HDMI Control settings ensure that the connected devices communicate correctly, facilitating the ARC feature to output sound.
10. Configure TV Audio Output to PCM (for TV audio issues)
Setting the audio output to PCM can help in cases where Dolby or DTS audio formats are not supported by your audio system, ensuring a more basic but functional audio transmission.
Most of the times, this is a simple problem with selecting the right audio output source on your PC, or an accidental mute action on your tab in Arc browser. However, above, you will find solutions on all possible issues.
To prevent future issues, regularly update your drivers and check your audio settings. Happy browsing!
