越来越多的网站不再使用大量文本，而是依靠托管在YouTube和Spotify等网站上的视频、音频消息和播客来使内容更加生动，并为观众提供更多价值。也就是说，当然，如果您使用的浏览器可以正确播放视频或音频。

虽然谷歌浏览^{(Google Chrome)}器等主要浏览器应该允许自动播放声音，但有时可能会出现阻止音频正确播放的问题。如果您的Chrome声音无法正常工作，您需要按照以下这些常见修复方法解决问题。

1.取消静音网站选项卡^{(1. Unmute the Website Tab)}

在很多情况下，您无法通过Google Chrome听到声音的原因是播放它的网站会自动静音。Chrome中的每个选项卡都可以静音，让您只能在特定页面上听到您想听到的声音。您需要取消静音选项卡才能解决问题。

1. 如果要取消静音页面，请右键单击Chrome^(Chrome)窗口顶部的选项卡。从下拉菜单中，选择取消静音站点^{(Unmute Site )}选项。

1. 或者，选择地址栏上URL左侧的锁定图标。^{( lock icon)}从下拉菜单中，将声音^(Sound)选项更改为允许^(Allow)。

2. 检查音量^{(2. Check Volume Levels)}

虽然检查 PC 或Mac上的音量级别听起来像是一个显而易见的答案，但它并不总是那么简单。特别是，Windows PC^{(Windows PCs)}允许您降低某些应用程序中的音频音量，这在任务栏上的声音图标中并不总是很明显。

如果 Chrome 的音量已静音，您将听不到任何声音，因此在将其排除为潜在问题之前检查这一点很重要。

1. 要在Windows上执行此操作，请右键单击右下角的声音系统托盘图标^{(sound system tray icon)}，然后选择打开音量混音器^{(Open Volume mixer )}选项。 

1. 将出现一个可用音量滑块列表——通过将滑块移动到栏的顶部来检查 Google Chrome 的滑块是否为 100%。

1. 对于Mac用户，系统音量适用于所有正在运行的应用程序。要访问音量控制（对于 macOS Big Sur和更新版本），请选择菜单栏上的通知图标。^{(notifications icon)}从下拉菜单中，将声音滑块移动^{(Sound slider)}到 100%，方法是将其一直向右移动。

3.开关输出设备^{(3. Switch Output Devices)}

当您定期在耳机（蓝牙^(Bluetooth)或有线）或扬声器系统之间来回切换时，您的操作系统可能不会自动切换音频输出。这意味着，当您希望扬声器发出声音时，您的操作系统会尝试通过另一台设备从Chrome输出声音。^(Chrome)

如果是这种情况，Chrome（和其他应用程序）中的音频可能无法正常工作。您需要手动切换到正确的声音输出设备以解决Chrome声音无法正常工作的问题。

1. 要在Windows上执行此操作，请右键单击任务栏右下角的声音系统托盘图标。^{(sound system tray icon )}从菜单中，选择打开声音设置^{(Open Sound settings )}选项。

1. 在声音设置菜单中，从^{(Sound Settings menu)}选择您的输出设备^{(Choose your output device)}下拉菜单中选择正确的输出设备（例如您的扬声器） 。选择后，将滑块向右移动，确保主音量^{(Master volume )}滑块为100。

1. Mac用户可以在System Preferences菜单中设置音频输出设备。要启动它，请选择菜单栏上的Apple 菜单图标^{(Apple menu icon )}，然后从菜单中选择系统偏好设置^{(System Preferences)}。

1. 在系统偏好设置^{(System Preferences)}菜单中，选择Sound > Output。从可用选项中，选择正确的输出设备。更改后，确保底部的输出音量滑块^{(Output volume )}向右^(right)移动以获得最大音量。

如果未检测到您的输出设备，或者您对音质不满意，您可能需要考虑更新该设备的设备驱动程序^{(updating the device drivers)}。

4.检查谷歌浏览器声音设置^{(4. Check Google Chrome Sound Settings)}

Google Chrome设置菜单包括阻止或允许某些站点的音频输出或完全禁用声音输出的选项。如果是这种情况，在您更改这些设置之前， Chrome将无法输出声音。

1. 为此，您需要访问Chrome设置菜单。在Chrome中，选择左上角的三点菜单图标^{(three-dots menu icon )}，然后从选项菜单中选择设置。^(Settings)

1. 在Chrome 设置菜单^{(Chrome settings menu)}中，选择Site settings > Additional content settings > Sound。

1. 在Chrome 声音设置菜单^{(Chrome Sound settings menu)}中，确保启用了允许网站播放声音（推荐）^{(Allow sites to play sound (recommended))}滑块。禁用时，该选项标记为静音播放声音的站点^{(Mute sites that play sound)}。

1. 要确保声音可以从您喜爱的网站播放，请选择允许^(Allow)类别 旁边的添加。^(Add)

1. 在“添加站点^{(Add a site)}”框中，提供您希望从中听到声音的站点的URL ，然后选择“^(URL)添加^(Add)”进行确认。

将站点添加到音频例外列表后，Chrome将允许播放来自该站点的任何声音，前提是没有其他问题阻止它。

5.禁用Chrome扩展^{(5. Disable Chrome Extensions)}

虽然很少见，但某些Google Chrome扩展程序（例如过度保护的安全扩展程序）可能会导致声音输出问题。如果安装了劫持您的声音、麦克风和摄像头输出的恶意扩展程序，则尤其如此。如果恶意软件是原因，请务必先扫描并删除它^{(scan and remove it)}。

如果其他扩展有问题，您应该禁用它们以检查它们是否阻止Chrome中的声音输出。

1. 为此，请选择右上角的三点菜单图标。^{(three-dots menu icon)}从菜单中，选择More Tools > Extensions。

1. 在“扩展^(Extensions)”菜单中，选择每个扩展旁边的滑块，将其从蓝色^{(blue )}（启用）变为灰色^{(gray )}（禁用）。

1. 禁用所有扩展程序后，重新启动Chrome并检查输出。如果音频恢复，返回到扩展^(Extensions)菜单并重新启用每个扩展，检查声音输出是否不受影响。如果重新启用扩展会导致音频停止，请禁用并删除该扩展^{(remove that extension)}。

6. 检查 Chrome 更新^{(6. Check for Chrome Updates)}

谷歌浏览器^{(Google Chrome)}设置为自动更新，确保您始终安装最新的可用版本。但是，如果未安装更新，您可能会缺少最新的功能或错误修复，包括可以解决Chrome声音无法正常工作的问题的修复。

1. 要检查Chrome更新，请选择右上角的三点菜单图标，然后选择“^{(three-dots menu icon)}设置”^(Settings)选项。

1. 在Chrome 设置菜单^{(Chrome settings menu)}中，选择关于 Chrome^{(About Chrome)}。加载页面后， Chrome^(Chrome)会自动检查新更新，如果检测到更新，则会安装它（或提示您手动安装）。

1. 安装新的Chrome更新后，重新启动浏览器以完成该过程。 

7.重新安装Chrome（或切换到另一个浏览器）^{(7. Reinstall Chrome (or Switch to Another Browser))}

不幸的是， Chrome^(Chrome)声音问题并不总是有明显的原因。如果您无法在Chrome中正常工作，则可能是时候尝试重新安装 Chrome^{(reinstalling Chrome)}了，或者如果这不能解决问题，请切换到其他浏览器。

其他浏览器，例如Mozilla Firefox和Microsoft Edge ，是^{(Microsoft Edge)}Chrome的不错替代品。特别是Edge ，它基于^(Edge)Chrome使用的开源Chromium代码库构建，能够使用许多相同的扩展和功能。

如果声音在其他浏览器中不起作用，这通常表明问题是由另一个问题引起的，例如网站损坏、硬件故障或系统冲突。

从谷歌浏览器获得更多^{(Getting More From Google Chrome)}

通过这些常见的修复，您将立即恢复收听播客^{(listening to podcasts)}或观看具有清晰声音的YouTube视频。^(YouTube)不幸的是，谷歌浏览器的问题并不^{(Google Chrome)}少见，Chrome 内存泄漏^{(Chrome memory leaks)}和其他问题随机出现。 

如果您看到Chrome问题，可能是时候进行一些维护修复以使事情恢复正常了。如果Chrome 停止响应^{(Chrome stops responding)}，您可能需要通过清除缓存^{(clearing the cache)}或重置浏览器来清除问题。然后，您可以考虑利用一些很棒的 Chrome 扩展^{(awesome Chrome extensions)}来进一步扩展其功能。

Chrome Sound Not Working? 7 Ways to Fix

Rather than a text-heavy post, more and more websites rely on videos, audio messаges and podcasts, hoѕted on sites lіke YouTube and Spotify, to jazz up their content and offer more value to viewers. That is, of course, if the browser you are using plays the videos or audio correctly.

While major browsers like Google Chrome should allow sound to play automatically, there can sometimes be issues that prevent the audio from playing correctly. If your Chrome sound is not working, you’ll need to troubleshoot the issue by following these common fixes below.

1. Unmute the Website Tab

In many cases, the reason why you can’t hear sound through Google Chrome is because the website playing it is automatically muted. Each tab in Chrome can be muted, allowing you to only hear the sounds you want to hear on specific pages. You’ll need to unmute the tab to fix the problem.

1. If you want to unmute the page, right-click the tab at the top of the Chrome window. From the drop-down menu, select the Unmute Site option.

1. Alternatively, select the lock icon, to the left of the URL on the address bar. From the drop-down menu, change the Sound option to Allow.

2. Check Volume Levels

While checking the volume levels on your PC or Mac might sound like an obvious answer, it isn’t always straightforward. In particular, Windows PCs allow you to reduce the volume of audio in certain apps, which isn’t always apparent from the sound icon on your taskbar.

If Chrome’s volume is muted, you won’t hear any sound, so it’s important to check this before you rule it out as a potential issue.

1. To do this on Windows, right-click the sound system tray icon in the bottom-right corner, then select the Open Volume mixer option. 

1. A list of available volume sliders will appear—check that Google Chrome’s slider is at 100% by moving the slider to the top of the bar.

1. For Mac users, system volume applies to all running apps. To access the volume controls (for macOS Big Sur and newer), select the notifications icon on the menu bar. From the drop-down menu, move the Sound slider to 100% by moving it all the way to the right.

3. Switch Output Devices

When you regularly switch back and forth between headphones (Bluetooth or wired) or a speaker system, your operating system might not switch your audio output automatically. That means that, when you expect sound from your speakers, your OS is trying to output sound from Chrome through another device.

If this is the case, the audio in Chrome (and in other apps) might not work. You’ll need to manually switch to the correct sound output device to resolve the issue with Chrome sound not working.

1. To do this on Windows, right-click the sound system tray icon in the bottom-right corner of the taskbar. From the menu, select the Open Sound settings option.

1. In the Sound Settings menu, select the correct output device (eg. your speakers) from the Choose your output device drop-down menu. Once selected, make sure the Master volume slider is at 100 by moving the slider to the right.

1. Mac users can set the audio output device in the System Preferences menu. To launch this, select the Apple menu icon on the menu bar, then select System Preferences from the menu.

1. In the System Preferences menu, select Sound > Output. From the options available, select the correct output device. Once changed, make sure the Output volume slider at the bottom is moved right for maximum volume.

If your output device isn’t detected, or you’re unhappy with the sound quality, you may need to look at updating the device drivers for that device.

4. Check Google Chrome Sound Settings

The Google Chrome settings menu includes options to block or allow audio output from certain sites, or disable sound output completely. If this is the case, sound output won’t be possible from Chrome until you change these settings.

1. To do this, you’ll need to access the Chrome settings menu. In Chrome, select the three-dots menu icon in the top-left, then select Settings from the options menu.

1. In the Chrome settings menu, select Site settings > Additional content settings > Sound.

1. In the Chrome Sound settings menu, make sure that the Allow sites to play sound (recommended) slider is enabled. When disabled, the option is labelled as Mute sites that play sound.

1. To ensure that sounds are playable from your favorite sites, select Add, next to the Allow category. 

1. In the Add a site box, provide the URL for a site you wish to hear sound from, then select Add to confirm.

Once you’ve added a site to the audio exceptions list, Chrome will allow any sounds from that site to play, assuming no other issues are preventing it.

5. Disable Chrome Extensions

While rare, certain Google Chrome extensions (such as overprotective security extensions) could cause issues with sound output. This is especially true if rogue extensions are installed that are hijacking your sound, microphone, and camera output. If malware is the cause, make sure to scan and remove it first.

If other extensions are at fault, you should disable them to check if they’re preventing sound output in Chrome.

1. To do this, select the three-dots menu icon in the top-right. From the menu, select More Tools > Extensions.

1. In the Extensions menu, select the slider next to each extension to turn it from blue (enabled) to gray (disabled).

1. Once you’ve disabled all extensions, restart Chrome and check your output. If audio is restored, return to the Extensions menu and re-enable each extension, one by one, checking that sound output isn’t affected. If re-enabling an extension causes the audio to stop, disable and remove that extension.

6. Check for Chrome Updates

Google Chrome is set to update automatically, ensuring you always have the latest available version installed. If updates aren’t installed, however, you may be missing the latest features or bug fixes, including fixes that can resolve issues with Chrome sound not working.

1. To check for Chrome updates, select the three-dots menu icon in the top-right, then select the Settings option.

1. In the Chrome settings menu, select About Chrome. Chrome will check for new updates automatically once the page is loaded and, if an update is detected, will install it (or prompt you to install it manually).

1. Once a new Chrome update is installed, restart your browser to allow the process to complete. 

7. Reinstall Chrome (or Switch to Another Browser)

Unfortunately, there isn’t always an obvious reason for Chrome sound issues. If you can’t get sound to work in Chrome, it might be time to try reinstalling Chrome or, if that doesn’t resolve the issue, to switch to another browser.

Other browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge, are good alternatives to Chrome. Edge, in particular, is built on the open-source Chromium code base that Chrome uses, with the ability to use many of the same extensions and features.

If sound doesn’t work in an alternative browser, this would usually indicate that the problem is caused by another issue, such as a broken website, malfunctioning hardware, or a system conflict.

Getting More From Google Chrome

With these common fixes, you’ll be back to listening to podcasts or viewing YouTube videos with crisp, clear sound in no time. Unfortunately, issues with Google Chrome aren’t uncommon, with Chrome memory leaks and other problems appearing at random. 

If you’re seeing Chrome issues, it might be time for some maintenance fixes to put things back in order. If Chrome stops responding, you may want to clear things up by clearing the cache or resetting your browser. You can then consider taking advantage of some awesome Chrome extensions to expand its functionality further.
