I have an Edge sound problem in Windows 11 Pro

I suddenly have no sound in Edge 11, have checked all boxes that should be checked and have reset. Nothing has fixed the problem. Other than Edge all media sources/devices work fine.

Welcome to the forum. Is this what you did?

If no sound in Edge, test your sound to make sure speakers are receiving sound.
Settings>system>sound
Under "Choose where to play sound' make sure speakers are selected. Check that volume level is turned up and that sound is not muted (an X over the little speaker icon to the left of volume.) If it has an X over it, it means sound is muted. Click the icon to unmute the sound.
Click arrow to the right of speakers.
You should be on Settings>system>sound>properties page. Click the TEST button.This will verify that your speakers are receiving sound.

If that doesn't help, run the sound troubleshooter. Settings>System>Troubleshoot>Other troubleshooters>Audio

Also when viewing a video, make sure the sound is not muted in the panel of the video.

I have done ALL that before I tried this forum. JFYI I've been using computers long before Bill Gates was even born, not to mention, before I retired, I was writing programs. To reiterate my problem: All media soueces and devices are working fine still. The only problems is that sound SUDDENLY stopped working in Edge mid-listening to something and after 2 days of troubleshooting, I have found no problems with anything - there just is no sound coming from Edge.

Reinstall the Edge Browser in Windows 10 and Windows 11 Without Losing Data​

Download Edge: Download Microsoft Edge

I re-downloaded and re-installed Edge. Did nothing to fix the "no sound" problem.

How about uninstalling and reinstalling sound device driver, maybe that will help.

I did everything. Nothing worked. So, I downloaded Google Chrome. Audio works fine on it.

Running system file checker can't hurt but with your experience you've probably already done that.

You might also try Firefox or Opera.



You've done all kinds of tests but, you haven't tried a System Restore or have I missed it.
Those little restore points have saved me quite a few times.

When I looked into system restore, it said that in windows 11 it was not turned "on" by default, however, I use the Pro version not the Home version which can be quite different and mine came "on" by default. However, the first restore point it set automatically was a couple of hours or so after I had the problem, so it didn't work for me. But thanks.
