Every update for Chrome bring issues. Sound not working while playing videos is one issue out of them about which users are reporting about for a long time.
Most of the users facing this issue reporting that when they trying to play videos especially YouTube videos there’s no sound. Even doing basic troubleshooting like:

To help you out we decided to write this blog post and covered a working solution which worked well for other Chrome users.
Reset Sound Settings
Resetting sound settings in Windows 10 worked for most of the users facing the issue. Here’s how you can do that:
Launch Settings app on Windows 10 and then select System.
Switch to Sound tab on the right panel. On the right-panel, scroll down to Advanced sound options and click ‘App volume and device performance.’
Here, you need to scroll down to bottom and click on the Reset button. Doing this will reset sound settings to default.
Check Volume Mixer Settings for Speakers
You can also check speaker volume and mixer setting, if it’s not mute for Chrome. For that,
Right-click on the Volume icon available on the upper right corner of the taskbar and select Open Volume mixer
In the Volume Mixer dialog, you need to check if Chrome volume setting is not set to mute.
With these two solutions, you will definitely able to fix Chrome audio not coming issue for sure. You can also:
- Clear Cache and Cookies
- Uninstall Extension that manages audio in anyway
- Check for latest update

Re: ‘In the Volume Mixer dialog, you need to check if Chrome volume setting is not set to mute.’
It doesn’t appear at all. I tried all sorts of thinks to get it to appear, but no success. Audio mode is set to ‘stereo’, not ‘surround’.
You will only see Chrome in Volume Mixer, when Chrome bowser is opened already.
Yes thats the problem, it doesnt show up at all
Same here. Chrom IS OPEN. And it doesn’t appears in the sound mixer panel
